If the entire concept of “mumble rapping” is that the rappers say literally nonsense and no actual words, how come there are lyrics online for the songs they make?

Mumble rap at one point seemed to have been embraced by the makers of said music. But quickly became derisive. Mumble rap never claimed there wasn’t lyrics. There are. It’s just mumbled, or not enunciated clearly.
This genre of it can be called that, has already been on the decline. A lot of new rap, love it or hate it, has already moved passed this into its current form.
A lot of it is garbage in my opinion, make no mistake about that. However I have started to understand what it is, and why it exists so I spend a lot less time worrying about it. Lyrical rap, “real” rap, or whatever you want to call it still exists and has consistently topped charts and been critically well received, so don’t believe the hype about rap being dead or forever changed.
