Meg is in the perfect position to be the rap Beyoncé in terms of messaging and artfulness. An instance in which an artist would benefit culturally and commercially from being less vapid

It's in all forms of entertainment tbh

With no monoculture, everything is segmented everyone lives in their own bubble. Record labels used to be able to penetrate those bubbles easily because there wasn't as many forms of entertainment.

So like, someone like Veeze in your example would have been given a real push by a label and would be hard to ignore because he'd be on TRL, He'd be on 106, his single would be on the radio where tons of people would listen to. These elements are gone, and w/o these elements making newer acts hot (beyond a tik Tok single) is harder than ever almost impossible lowkey.

The game is really f***ed and IMO, it's not due to a lack of 'talent.' In every era there were great, good, and bad rappers. The real difference is that no one has any motivation to lean into new artists.

Issue will only grow in the years to come, I think.

Roc Nation tried everything from over sexualization to the whole getting Tory locked up

And all Doechii had to do was drop some lame skits to overpass her
