Rules:
1. Use proper title format
Do not make up post tags. New releases should be tagged [FRESH], [FRESH ALBUM] (or MIXTAPE) or [FRESH VIDEO] only. [FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.
Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

MODERATORS
I disagree that genres are bullshit. That said, I don't know what Jay-Z's motivations are. If it's because Hip-Hop has been at the forefront of music for an extended period of time, then they're pure. But if it's just a petty, let's rename it for the sake of upsetting some people, that's different. We should celebrate music and how things change.
To be claro, i mean that in general and even on a vast amount of albums, genres are blended so much that putting a label on them now generally looses their meaning. sure there's still some acts out there that fit neatly under rock or hip hop... but most have a few genres tied to them. Or some acts vary per release...
i do find some of them flowerly named. bluesy psychedelic post hardcore...
