How are we damn near 13 years in and it's the SAME artists being seen as the leaders lol...

KTT problem is y’all discredit and scoff at all street rappers but they the ones putting out the most real and best s*** right now. So ofc y’all will think the new gen is ass

Dude just creates better music then these new acts,plain and simple. He isn’t trying to be a top rapper,he’s just Playboi Carti and that’s taking him a long way.

I think ppl in here (me included) are tired of the same style of production, same type of songwriting, etc.

fam it hasn't even been 2 years wtf do you mean aging lmfao

Call me was last year silly boy

Longevity wonder how long they'll check for me

Those that have been listening to the Push album since it leaked know....it's a classic

This is easily the best album I’ve heard in a long time

stove god cooks gonna take the crown this year

You know there’s a reason people were surprised (and glad) to hear 42 Dugg and YB on Tyler’s album because it was over instrumentals that were different typically for them. Same with Baby on Donda

S*** falls off fast af nowadays,for WLR to still sound fresh in this gen,even in this short span of time,says something.

Eh idk. I think it’s because always name dropping people is lame. It inherently makes the bars worse when you overdo it.

I think it’s inconsistent. And sure, people will want to criticize Pusha less if they otherwise like his music more but still.

I think people (not just KTT people although we seem to be worse) tend to fall into 2 camps often. We tend to be like “well this is supposed to be good so I can’t criticize it” or “well I’m not supposed to like this so I’m gonna troll/shit on it”. I think Pusha T is benefiting from the former.

S*** starts aging almost immediately nowadays

Good music is good music. And theirs coming from a place of authenticity. They r giving life and pain stories over beats that match.

Their goal isn’t to be experimental and bring new s***. Just because they don’t isn’t a reason to discredit them.

Exactly. These niggas are dropping albums that use identical production and songwriting to their last s***. They have the connections and resources to be linking with whoever -- im so tired of the same features and production being on everyone's album.

you could pretty much dilute every single rapper ever into a statement like this, so its a bit meaningless

But if I don’t like how the music actually sounds then? I’m not gonna listen lol I can commend them for rapping with substance but if your beat draws me out I’m out

sure but 2 years doesn't equal longevity lol

That's cool bro, but in the context of "where's the new s***" that absolutely is a reason to discredit them.

you don't like rap and that's ok

Production is sooooo important

Nowadays it absolutely does. Albums go away very quickly, After Hours (2 years old) is currently outselling Dawn FM (3 months old)

Does After Hours not have legs to be selling so much this far into it?

I just dont understand why they dont be doin s*** like this. I mean I do, it's easy money and comfortable to do what works, but damn. Ye went out and made 808s coming off Graduation. We still waiting on that moment for 99% of these new niggas.

That’s never the context tho it’s always “all these new guys are ass”
