It's just a down year. Had to expect it. It'll be back up.

People use boomer all the time at work it is wild cringe the simulation is glitching out

Barter 6 by Young Thug out now

party and abel both dropped back to back mid thats insane

Yes? Rap has generally revolved around what the projects want to listen to. Only time it didnt was the internet/blog era where there was a strong influence in non-project culture and even then you still had flocka, gucci, and then keef blow up in 2012. Meek and Ross too.

Now damn near every hot artist makes music the projects want outside the megastars.

Why does it matter what other people listen to? You can listen to whatever you want

this is more of a reflection of the upbringing of the youth.

what happens when single moms run the house for generations. add that to the lack of respect of elders, not listening to older music. there isn't stability in the homes and the music truly reflects that.

Frank Ocean, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, early Weeknd, Travis Scott, Chance The Rapper, Mac Miller's post-2013, Rocky's first mixtape

This is who we "neo-dustheads" came up on shoot if you wanna talk street rap Future and Young Thug among the most innovative artists ever

This is the kind of music that i came up on fam so yes if you link me Polo G and Lucki imma look at you like you are dumb

i kinda feel op on this one, i dont really be listening to rap much these days, too much mid out.

sweet chin music

whatever boomer

did I do it right?

travis blew up in 2015. He's apart of the 2nd half of the decade. Kanye is an 00s rapper.

All of those other dudes you mentioned are veterans at this point and there's far more talent out right now than the first half of the decade.

Drake peaked a long ass time ago, weeknd peaked on his mixtapes, kendrick peaked on his debut, frank is hit or miss, mac is dead, and chance is trash.

Yall are just like the old heads that hated on the first half of the decade for being too hipster

thats the thing, the music aint even garbage

its just mid, lukewarm, average. No soul to it.

op kinda right in the sense that i would almost never listen to a polo g project as well as several new artists just because their material doesnt give me that spark or feeling that projects from before really

i think the main reason tho is that a lot of these new rappers aren’t necessarily bad artists but they really gotta stop using all of the same nick mira type beats, like grow a f***ing set and experiment to find a new style

in conclusion i think new producers just need to step up and push a new movement

OP has a point but you're just getting older. Why would you relate to Polo G? It's not for you.

So we just discounting Days Before Rodeo

I'm just saying the projects and the new artists who came up from 2008-2014 are what I came up on

2015 was like the end of the wave, Drake became too big (:dash: )
Travis had his first real hit, Future peaked, Weeknd went full pop

Just look at the projects and new artist (mainstream-wise) who broke thru from 2008-2014

808s and HB
MBDTF
So Far Gone (new artist)
Take Care
The Warm Up (new artist)
Friday Nights Lights
2014 Forest Hills Drive
Man on The Moon (new artist)
Teflon Don
House of Balloons (new artist)
nostalgia.Ultra (new artist)
Channel Orange
Section 80 (new artist)
LiveLoveASAP (new artist)
Days Before Rodeo (new artist)
Acid Rap
Future's Monster mixtape
Kush & OJ

Young Thug blew up in 2014
Migos blew up in 2013

All those new legends with legendary songs and legendary mixtapes/albums

im not even that old i just dont feel any type of way when listening to his music and to me it just sounds like easy-made s*** that was heavily promoted on youtube and ig

like for example a new rapper i can actually get behind is roddy ricch because his singing seems to carry more emotion as well as his beat selection is better and i would say doesnt always conform to mainstream as others (eg scott storch)

Decade's ending be hitting different

This might be true to some extent but in this era there still seems to be a ton of influence from white kids, I guess a lot of them tend toward project type stuff because they want to live vicariously. Where does someone like Carti fit into this in your eyes? The meme is kind of that his fan base is a bunch of white middle schoolers wearing vlone

niggas not even tryna make great full-body of works fam smh

like i kinda rock with Juice WRLD but his projects just be a few catchy tunes and then a bunch of mid

Even Carti who i like, i go back to maybe 5 songs outta 19 on Die Lit

Same with Kodak, same with 21 Savage, same with Post Malone etc etc

2015 and on most these niggas, new artists and established artists, just want hits fam
