Vocal elements aside, the instrumental and production choices of these artists also represented a considerable departure from the norm. However, it was ultimately this focus on simplicity, accessibility and catchiness which accelerated its rise to dominance within both the genre itself and mainstream music as a whole. With the emphasis shifted from wordplay and rapid-fire delivery to vocal riffing and repetition, many interpreted the rise of mumble rap as a crude simplification of existing styles as opposed to its own unique approach. In fact, the term “mumble rap” wasn’t even in common usage until around 2014 when older people in the hip-hop sphere began to cast doubt on the creative legitimacy of younger MCs. While its roots lay in the early mixtapes of rappers like Future and Chief Keef from 2011, mumble rap as a cultural movement didn’t take off until 2013 when artists such as Travis Scott and Young Thug began to explode in popularity. With the advent of a new decade, it seems only fitting to review the advances made by this movement and revisit the culture war between mumble rappers and the reactionaries that emerged against them. It drove a wedge into hip-hop discourse that remains to this day, with proponents embracing exploration of the genre outside of traditional conventions, and its detractors citing it as a sign of hip-hop losing its way and regressing into meaningless self-indulgence. However, the emergence of what came to be known as “mumble rap” from Soundcloud represented arguably the largest deviation from the genre’s roots yet. With artists such as Kanye West and Kid Cudi redefining the face of pop rap in the 00s, the genre had already grown and diversified considerably by the early 10s. The last decade saw hip-hop undergo an unprecedented stylistic shift. Some keep an open mind and recognize there is space for both "mumble rap" and "real hip-hop" to coexist.Deputy Music Editor Aidan Riddell provides a rundown of the conflict between the rap of Kanye and Kid Cudi and the mumble rap movement.
