Rap is dying, because all my favorite rappers either got shot , overdose or in jail sad s***
he’s right but the white boys on KTT that live in the suburbs are gonna say he’s wrong cause he makes “cac music”

Can't put it past KTT Thugs
The 3 up and coming artists most likely to be superstars all died in the span of like two years
For sure didn’t help the genres popularity
-doesnt realize we lost 2 of the biggest hip hip superstars in a 1 year span in the 90s and hip hop got even bigger

White people treating peep and xxx like the second coming of Jesus is very telling

Like i love pop to death but if pop, x, and juice dying made it harder for hip hop to grow than this s*** BEEN dead lmao
Last truly talented generation ended with Thugga, Future, Travis and Migos.
The Great Value Soundcloud rappers just started pouring in after that.
click on the tweet to see if complex cited the source so i can get the context, of course they didn't lol. nothing to say about this cause i don't even get what this quote means on its own.

From the man who made some of the worst rap of all time as soon as it got pop trendy
I heard Star Wars is alive and well Keep thst growth talk in the boardroom

If Pop, XXX, and Juice were the "future" or "saviors" of hip-hop it was gonna die off no matter what.

That’s true good point
I think cultural turnover is so much faster now tho
He had to start singing because nobody wanted to hear this nigga rap. It’s dead to him brcause he couldn’t thrive in this new rap climate.
Niggas had rap slow down for 1 year and suddenly its on life support
Yet other genres get the freedom of bein “dead” for years and gettin resurgence with no issue
S*** been slow since 2020
It’s not dead
This exact same convo was happening before 2010’s
Everything is a wave
S*** been slow since 2020
Yall say this like rap had some huge (GOOD) breakthrough every other year
Plenty of fast made half-assed music was charting for whatever trend and now yall lookin back at it like they was golden
he’s right but the white boys on KTT that live in the suburbs are gonna say he’s wrong cause he makes “cac music”
cause hip hop is a commodity now and is treated like the #1 genre still, so while all this mid or forgettable s*** is dropping everyone’s witnessing the downfall be televised
Its not a downfall if all the big rap artists are still placing top 3 on billboard
Yall can just you don’t care for what’s releasing and that’s fine, but restating this tiring narrative is why Hip-Hop is always in a hot seat for debates
KTT aint makin a thread every week on why Pop/R&B is bland or how Afrobeats/Latino music are all copying the big artists albums, ppl who listen to those genres just run it up n vibe
"You get washed and old when s*** just sounds the same to you because you've heard so much. You know, I think the women are killing it because they have narratives. I feel like a lot of the guys, it's harder to have interesting new narratives now."
This point is interesting all narratives for men other than being from the streets are considered corny now. I don't think women in rap are exploring the narratives they could be tho
Whats the narratives he talking about

the music industry itself is at a downfall tbh, and the problem is those top 3 artist have been there for a decade with no new real big 3 to fully take its place, every rapper who blew up 2019-present is just hoping tik tok catches them at the right moment
Lol it’s always snappy comebacks with you
not even just him I noticed with Puffy and Donald both making criticisms of rap people instantly go to attacking their career and legacy all over Twitter and in the threads here
Lmaoo people don’t even stop to try and a***yze what is being said just instantly come with a “gotcha” type comeback
this is when you get mfs saying s*** like sexyy red and ice spice are restoring the feeling
lol facts
even in calling out the state of the game childish is still playing “the game”
He had to start singing because nobody wanted to hear this nigga rap. It’s dead to him brcause he couldn’t thrive in this new rap climate.
I think people in the climate today would love more music like Because The Internet which was Childish last mostly/relatively fully rap project. Lol it’s surprising he didn’t try to make a sequel given that all those things he spoke on are en vogue now
Him making Awaken didn’t have anything to do with people being tired of him rap lol
