It’s 2021, and there are different types of hip-hop. Hip-Hop is more popular than it’s ever been and the beloved genre can be crossed over and intertwined with other genres such as country, gospel, and rock! Usually at rock concerts, you can see fans raging in multiple mosh pits. Just look up rage on YouTube and you’ll see something that looks like it has a mixture of fun, dangerous, pain, and joy.
Hip Hop Rock?
If you go to a Playboi Carti, Trippie Redd, or Lil Uzi Vert concert (just to name a few), you will see a few mosh pits. In fact, they encourage their fans to go crazy. When I first discovered that this goes down at rap concerts, I was confused. Now, I know these aren’t your typical 90s, early 2000s or even early 2010 rappers, but this is still rap. I thought that only happened at rock concerts, but no, hip hop artist have adapted this into their shows as well. It’s almost like it’s apart of the show.
I came across Trippie Redd’s performance at Lollapolooza on Youtube and Trippie wanted his fans to rage. I imagine the crowd was already ready to rage, but when the artist on stage encourages it, it sets the tone. It’s almost like Trippie and artist similar to him make songs so the fans can rage. It makes going to their shows more worth it.
I also came across Playboi Carti’s set at Lolla as well and his fans go crazy! Just like Trippie’s! Recently, one of Playboi Carti’s show was canceled due to rioters. You can see fans raging at Travis Scott’s show too. His shows are infamous for that and have been for years. Unfortunately, many people were hurt and a few people died at Astroworld Festival over the weekend. We pray for the loved ones of those people that lost their lives.
I guess you can say hip hop is all the rage, which is new to me. I never thought I’d see hip hop evolve in this way. Playboi Carti, Trippie, Uzi, and Travis Scott are like rockstars. Hopefully they can find a way to get these fans under control. We don’t need other negativity associated with hip hop.
