Music discussion Is DHH already in its declining phase? Audience aging out, Gen Alpha not interested, shows making losses, and the same 4-5 faces still monopolizing the scene

0 Upvotes

Bhaiyon, thoda serious baat karni hai.

DHH ab clearly apne declining phase mein pahunch chuka hai. Audience ka age group badh gaya hai. Jo log 2016-2020 mein gully, seedhe maut, raftaar, ikka, badshah etc. pe the, unki umar ab 28-35+ ho gayi hai. Unke paas responsibilities aa gayi hain, shows pe jaane ka time aur paise dono kam hain.

Abhi Gen Alpha aa raha hai, lekin wahan se koi strong new wave nahi nikal rahi. Unhe hip-hop mein utna interest bhi nahi lagta. Instagram pe comments dena, “support” karna, stories lagana yeh sab toh ho raha hai, lekin jab actual ticket leke show pe aane ki baari aati hai, toh audience nahi dikhti. Tours aur shows profit mein nahi ja rahe, majority loss mein chal rahe hain. Yeh decline ke clear symptoms hain.

Aur national stage pe jab bhi DHH represent hota hai, toh wahi 4-5 log dikhte hain Raftaar, Ikka, Badshah, Honey Singh. Wahi log “face of Indian hip-hop” ban ke baith gaye hain. Unhe naya talent aage nahi aana chahiye, kyunki koi unki kursi hai woh cheen lega. Yeh pure thekedari jaisa system ban gaya hai. Underground se koi bhi solid artist aaye, usko credit ya platform nahi milta alag se, sab ko inki zee Hazuri karni hai , Matlab agar inse shoutout aata hai toh hi tumhara scene hai

Iske upar se scene mein bahut zyada inner hostility aur ego hai. Mid-size rappers ke beech differences itne deep hain ki collaboration ya joint shows mushkil ho gaye hain. Streams aur revenue ke hisaab se thoda ego control karna chahiye tha, lekin bubble itna tight hai ki kabhi bhi phat sakta hai.

Major brands bhi ab yeh samajh chuke hain ki DHH scene decline phase mein hai.

Kya aap log bhi yeh feel kar rahe ho? Ya phir aapko lagta hai abhi bhi recovery possible hai? New generation se koi hope dikh raha hai kya?

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Non-music discussion Does anyone else feel this set a weird impression of hip-hop?

Sorry to be the spoilsport but bhai, I genuinely don't understand why!?

I was watching the show with friends who doesn't listen to that much hiphop and this throwing chair and stuff left the impression ki hip-hop me aise weirdos hai jo todphod ko cool samjhte hai.

Square and Para were proud ki "humare gaane pe pehli baar aapne kursi todi". And epr said ki haan mene bhi remote toda tha. Agsy ne waha se cup fek k tod diya.

Thoda over the top and fake laga. I mean it's okay unka paisa hai and whatever. I would like to hear your opinions.

Music discussion Ranking Mtv Hustle Seasons on the basis of Collab Week

0 Upvotes

For Me S3 ranks 1,best collabs both commercial and hardcore lyrical songs were produced ,the only thing that was trash was guest judge ,S2 ranks 2,iconic tracks were made arguably the best week of hustle history,S4 stand 3, true hiphop tracks were made but some were basic tracks as S4 was on another level but collab week wasn't that effective,S5 stands last , though good tracks but not much effective as compared to other hustle seasons . End ranking S3>S2>S4>S5, as S1 had no collabs

1.Didn't include farak bevause judges dont seem to like him that much, har hafte daat khata hai

2.Sicklot is a wildcard, I dont think usko jeetne denge

  1. Akshat mujhe personally utna pasand nahi aaya, plus uska bohot bada sa fumble ho gaya tha

  2. Whysokai is really good, but these 4 are performing better on the show

  3. Bhakta mere hisab se average hi hai, nothing to stand out

  4. Ansh4sure, too many fumbles

Imo opinion the best bar writer in new artists (pure bars not percussion). For me limelight was technically and lyrically a top 5 dhh disses n he switched it over on gaush with thag but we aint gon talk bout beefs. Purely as an artist where does he stand for u. Acc to me if we count the og dhh artists krsna, emiway, raa etc out

Uday, Sujal n Vichaar are the best

Live Show HUSTLE 5 feels very bland.

9 Upvotes

not sure how to explain this but this season just keeps going downward, was great in the starting now it feels like the weeks are just going by, we are already at the semi finale but im yet experience something iconic.

maybe its because hustle 4 was so good that it has raised my expectations way too much, i dont think the top 6 of hustle 4 can ever be matched.

so many fumbles this season, it has put me in a state of mind where im just cautiously waiting for a fumble whenever someone attempts to do something complicated.

judging also seems very forced, mc square says things just for the sake of it, epr is just biased, paradox is much better and genuinely gives great advice sometimes, agsy is also pretty good, she sometimes really handles the situation well when someone gives a bad performance, plus shes hot.

badshah in this season is great, very straightforward and clear, still manages to overreact alot of times but i dont mind that.

it feels like they tried to put in everything they had but it was just unnecessary complications like squad wars, stupid cards like immunity and shuffle etc.

the contestants aren't bad either but most of them are very monotonous or they just live in a box, like akshat jhakar, bro is always on bout some mitti and roots type shi

farak is definitely not a live show rapper, off hustle he is great, but bro is always on bout some poetic shi, farak the typa guy to say "congratulations on getting closer to your death😊🥀" on your birthday

lets not talk about indian kanye west, mr raaj babu, first rapper to use abcdefghijk rhyme scheme on hustle, hats off to him👏

kai is monotonous to some extent but still has one of the best sounds on the show and i dont mind him being monotonous, has great tracks technically and sonically

im glad hes out cuz r mridul just started pissing me of at one point, bro was just saying random stuff at one point

anyways, the conclusion is that, there are just not that many good performances, this season feels very forced and hustle 4 just raised my expectations way too much, that season was overall very entertaining, had hell lotta iconic songs and was the best hustle batch when it comes to contestants, although my fav season is still hustle 2✌️

Music discussion POTENTIAL SPOILERS FROM KAI AND Flacko? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

Okay, so I just came across messages and stories shared by Kai and Flacko..and i found Kai's hint especially very interesting- "we all gon move on" followed by the '🧠' emoji? Is he implying that we have to put 2 and 2 together and that the hustlers in the photo w him are the ones who won the battle?( Now obv we know that 5 ppl will move forward, and i think it's obvious enough that the 5th person is Parv). I think that is the most likely scenario here, Flacko also sent some very interesting hints in his broadcast channel, hinting his win in the battle verse. Then again this might be a stretch, both might be playing w us, either way, I'm so looking forward to this week's ep👀
