Should they have to be in a thread about Rocky

People shouldn't make non-Drake related threads about Drake and they wouldn't show up right

Rocky isnt wrong, there used to be an emphasis on being more mature and grown man

Now its youth thats being emphasized and pursued.

The difference in how a 20 year old rapper carried themselves back then vs now is very different

Can someone please elaborate what this "adolescent stage" is to begin with? Is it strictly image or content or both?

I mean...you have a whole subgenre of rap rn that's popular with many lyrics sounding grimier and more demonic than 90's gangsta rap but that's supposed to be "adolescent?"

Youngboy got songs talking about real life s*** that people can relate to and that's supposed to be "adolescent?"

If anything, there were way more cartoony music videos and imagery that was more kid friendly in the 2000's than today.

DaBaby even got compared to Luda a lot because of that.

This guy has dropped nothing but straight garbage since his debut mixtape and is only relevant because of his outfits and now being Rhianna's baby daddy

The funny thing about his criticism is that the biggest rappers in 2022 aren't young niggas lol. It's still the Drakes/Kendricks/Coles/Futures who are the biggest and all those niggas are pushing 40. Even niggas like Young Thug/Gunna are 30/29. The Lil Uzi's of the world aren't the most popping niggas in the game (if they ever were).

And if the young niggas are bothering you so much then don't listen to them. No one is forcing you to. It's just funny when you think back to 11 years ago when Rocky was one of those same young niggas that old, washed rappers would be saying s*** like this about lol.

Rocky is a quintessential himbo.

So he’s saying rappers look younger than before? That’s like saying Jason Tatum and ja morant don’t look like how Michael Jordan and Kobe looked like back then. And his argument is kinda stupid ti Rick Ross and jeezy all came out at the same time. He makes it sound like they’re from a version generation of hip hop. And ASAP rock literally raps about nothing content wise. Him and big Sean are for guys who are like 19 years old

Rn its pretty bad all the new rappers are for kids

he’s still rapping about what made him famous but he’s been more personal and introspective recently

Testing had that

And the music just isn’t as popular as it was even a decade ago.

Labels made a quick buck off rap when it went pop in the early 90s.

Jesus y’all are so weird sometimes LMAO

Now, rap is stuck in this braggadocious, adolescent space. It’s not as mature."

Is that a problem?

Testing was still mostly about what he usually raps about, which is money, hoes, being fly/jiggy.

No

I don't know why y'all say this as if most rappers shows are not filled with white kids, and like they haven't been for almost a decade now.

White people go to rap concerts. What do y'all think the majority crowd at Rolling Loud, OVO Fest, Astroworld, etc is looking like?

Drake stans truly are a cancer to music forums.

big draco

You must love white people

Y’all not listening to what Soulja saying but he right. Niggas really don’t be talkin bout nothing bro just be bullshit. Talk about how we can make more money

white ppl the majority in the world so that’s a given but i can tell you only a few shows i’ve been too been mostly white and they can afford the s***

lil baby in 2018 even after the drake feature was barley white ppl there
