Yeah but it seemed no one cared to the level back then that they do now

I don’t think Osamason could sell like 50k worth of Vinyls/CDs

I mean....not really.

Forever Story was talked about everywhere on forums. It kinda put JID in more people's radar.

It's Almost Dry had crazy hype.

Soul Sold Separately had a decent buzz too.

Joey Badass dropping a sequel to 1999 was a big deal too.

And Nas dropped another amazing sequel to the KD series.

Maybe it seems more apparent now because Drake isn't as dominant as he was back then.

Its too complicated to break down but ill jus say i dont think album sales reflect popularity anymore

idk how anyone can look at billboard in like 2015-16 vs look at billboard now and tell me there hasnt been a seismic shift in pop culture in general, hip hop or not

white woman avis and anime avis are the cursed coalition that has been destroying this forum

I think the pandemic / early post pandemic was the peak not even just for music but a lot of things

Ok i peeped the clipse album this s*** gave me dementia

Its jus some dudes rapping about drake using nursery rhymes

have you experienced the touch of a woman

I think a lot of folks on this site are desperate for change or to be “apart” of a moment because this thread gets made every couple weeks

Not the case here just having a discussion, looked for a similar thread before making this but didn’t see one

I cant blame them if i wasnt tapped in id think hip hop fell off too

it did fall off

Nah it evolved

Trippin

finally another state of rap thread

no lol especially not with anyone you just named

yea, selling between 30-90K being the “new normal” for a ‘good’ commercial release feels so weird compared to a decade ago

Yeah, it’s called good music

been noticing that too

real ain no unreleased on AM and that reason alone is what keeps me from ever buying a subscription to any of these dsp services besides youtube premium

lmao osa mason performs in venues as big as a closet compared 2 clipse dawg

i fw dis song but outta all examples u could’ve used u chose something off of bros 2nd weakest album

evolution an liveleak are top 5 ken
