Ep.42 - The Death of the 3rd Verse
from Diggin' In The Digits · host The 5th Element Podcast Network
The third verse. What used to be something that made Hip-Hop special is now on life support. In recent years, entire albums have been dropping that have no third verse to be seen. One could say that this is a concerted effort to make music shorter for the short attention masses. So what is going on? Why are artists omitting third verses? And what are the implications for mainstream Hip-Hop catering to the masses and not to the true essence?TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:55)Topic Intro - (11:38)Statistics on the 3rd Verse - (17:42)Is it just "evolution" or is there more to it? - (20:22)Is Pop & Hip-Hop blending together? - (29:47)What are the long-term ramifications?
