Ppl like Ebro Joe Budden and them hate the good s*** a ton like uzi yeat Faygo etc yet we let them in charge of the playlists instead of someone more tapped in like Zack Bia
Like mf why tf do Freddie mids and moneymid yo get playlisted over VEEZE or LUCKI this aint the 2010s no more this the new age.

we must remove the gatekeepers of the editorial playlists

New posters strike again

OP aint lying this is actually a very good point.

Nah, they right

Member since 2023

New age ain’t doing it’s job when they still gotta rely on the old guard to keep the genre relevant

@op makes a great point.

Flex, Ebro, and a lot of old head seniority type of people been needing to pass the torch but dont.

*wypipo

Freddie Gibbs makes good music. If you can't see that, you're on Akademiks d*** which is a lot worse.

Also, who tf is even listening to Ebro and Budden besides washed people.

Who even pays attention to these people irl lol

Except the reason ppl like Ak and adam22 originally grew up was because the old guard was dismissive of the uzis and lil yachtys of the game and those 2 gave them a platform

This entire thread

Ur right tbh

Its time for new curators

You’d be surprised how much radio still plays a significant part in this country’s lives

there's a certain age limit as a hip hop tastemaker eventually the music won't be for you

they treated uzi and Kodak how they treat yeat and ken carson now

There’s already another thread booing the new curators

Who exactly are the new curators tho? Besides zack bia

Cordae being irrelevant proves they dont have no say in whats poppin

Insulting an artist by putting mid in their name and then saying it's not the 2010s anymore is crazy

Who TF listens to playlists curated by Ebro

I listen to radio sometimes, but even our rap station has very limited talk stuff. It's 50% Drake 50% whatever female rap songs that are hot lol

Ig I did tune in for Budden for like a year straight when I worked in a factory...

fr they be gassing up the 90s rehash s*** but hip hop is evolving past that
yeat veeze lucki ken Carson all pushing the genre plus luh Tyler sofaygo lancey babytron make fire too

the best tastemakers are rappers themselves like lil yachty and drake

Why would anyone listen to an Ebro playlist to hear cutting edge rap anyway

You know what you're getting
