Along with your predictions, post who will be the MVP? Have rap album of the year? Feature verse of the year.

Kodak gon drop a classic
Drake will still be the most listened rapper

Let me see, which one of the pre-2018 rappers will deliver because none of the rappers that came through during the following 6 years are able to give us something worthwhile ........

Isaiah Rashad AOTY

Trust.

Drake is the most streamed rapper on Spotify

Huge smokepurpp come back. Trust

Xxtentacion will release his album NO PULSE and reveal that he didnt actually die

non of the atl rappers gon be popping ever again like the peak

• Cole gets his swan song send off with The Fall Off to a resounding success
• More rappers lean into the country shtick
• Hip hop continues to decline commercially
• Kendrick and Drake continue to sub each other (🙄)
• Chance drops his album to good reception even though it doesn’t do well commercially
• We see a name brand rapper convert to being a full time streamer
• They continue to push posthumous s*** from artists that have been picked over unfortunately
• Thug/Baby vs Gunna reaches a fever pitch with albums all being released around the same timeframe

Dead serious about making the Super Bowl performance a classic that is

Kanye is going to change rap music once again with the use of AI

Rocky still hasn't dropped his s***

Boom Bap makes a mainstream resurgence

Carti has a #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 with him as the main artist.

Drake s***tape

Hopefully, C6 will actually drop and Bully won't be too reliant on AI.

Carti MVP Kendrick stay up there too

• Kanye releases BULLY in the second half of the year and although quality wise it is a step up from his previous work, all of the vocals are done by other people with a Kanye voice filter put on it and it angers a lot of music listeners and long time fans.

• Kendrick has one of the most successful Super Bowl performances of all time, which blows away viewers. And he gains an influx of new fans based off that performance alone.

• Drake continues to be the most streamed rapper based off the goodwill of his pre beef material, but his new material suffers and his collab album with PND is either padded with bundles to make the first week sales look better, or the album drops and barely does 200K first week.

• J. Cole finally drops The Fall Off and it's one of his best albums according to the masses and he retires from making albums after a successful tour, occasionally popping up on features here and there.

• Carti finally drops

• Diddy pulls an Epstein
• 2hollis become rather popular
• Ken Carson sells more than Eternal Atake 2 did
• Rocky gets found guilty of that shooting court case s***
• Kendrick announces he's producing a TV Show

Clipse album

Frank Ocean has a rap verse on A$AP Rocky album

Kendrick has a feature verse that gets everybody talking (like usual)

JID breaks through and is considered a modern goat with his next album

Doechii x SZA x Kendrick on a song that is a major hit, breaks a bunch of records

AzChike makes some noise, drops a cult classic album

Drake x PND album is a critical success especially among fans but just does not get the industry push Drake usually gets so it fuels that back and forth between Kendrick and Drake stans
