Just because I haven't bought a vinyl, been to a show and have merch doesn't mean I can't enjoy an artist
. I am not responsible for her streams or how many units she moves. I just said she doesn't push heavy marketing. She still exist. She still has a fanbase. Art is more than numbers. The same applies to many men artist as well.
Oh I'm just saying it's people who will mention her knowing damn well they hardly going back to her albums. Always find that s*** corny. People tryna "weaponize" the real artists against others just to support them. S*** is wack and there's room for everybody.

more deals with lyrics being used in court affected all of rap. Combined with them already often not properly paying producers or actually performing their songs. They throw on some backing vocals and sell out arenas for the same money that it would cost to put their heart and soul into it
Niggas were lyrically vague long before any conversation of that leglislation started lol. No one acknowledges that since like Wayne tbh the base lyrical standard for rap has declined to the casual listener/mainstream
Around the time mainstream success and lyrical density were illustrated as two different intentions is probably its origin so at least since Hov “Common Sense Common Since” line 20 years ago but Wayne/Thug/Future/Keef kicked it into high gear

Shin ChanHe’s speaking facts
These new dudes aren’t making hip-hop for the love of it
The bottom line
But neither was Hov so it’s tricky lol
Oct 6, 2023I spent most of the day listening to classics most of which came out before I had access to them.
People are scared to say it because it used to be such an uninspired/uncultured/dusty opinion in the 2010s because so much good s*** was brewing. New rap is simply not as good. Most of the popular stuff coming out today gets a pass because it's fun. A lot of this s*** genuinely has no soul though.

POOM POOM DOOMWe need a musical genius who has been hibernating in a cave for the past decade, unaware of all trends and current events, come out and make the most refreshing and new rap album of all time.
Got you

Was rap alive when you was fetishizing asian chicks
Was rap alive when you made some s*** with Jaden Smith
Was rap alive on cable when you was makin' scripts
I guess rap died the day you ain't get paid for itthis is actually hard
Oct 6, 2023OHMNIIn a recession not everyone will prioritize buying hip hop music when they are going through a struggle for an artist to often brag about how rich they are
Its just reality. If the content is often so similiar ways of flexing on the audience and each other while threatening others or leading to their demise. Sometimes bragging to the point of getting themselves imprisoned. Often times you grow tired of listening to that and what it brings out of you vs other genres of music. Obviously there is always good hip hop and rap using the format to the fullest but often those artist don't get shine.
A Little Simz isn't paying for streams going viral or using s***, d**** or riches to promote herself. Its just reality. She isn't starting fake controversey or getting into the news cycle but she still dropping . I feel whenever an older artist says some s*** like this I wish they would focus on what they do like in the game than clickbait for white publications to get a click and profit off ad revenue. Up someone rather than put down the entire genre
People said the same thing during the late 2000's only for Wayne to sell a mill fw with hits titled "A Milli" and "Got Money"..............

insertcoolnamehere-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
Changed the game drastically in a short amount of time
If BIG wasn’t dead, HOV wouldn’t be a billionaire
Oct 6, 2023WhiteRoseHe's pretty much right tbh. Too many clones, too easy of an access point to the art form, the art form itself is not taken seriously, we're in a dark place for hip hop. Stagnant.

Its growing exponentially more in amount of content. Whether it is progressing is the actual question but you can't say there isn't a wide variety now
exactly
growing in terms of quantity but not quality

hip-hop didn’t die but you did have rising artists primed to fill their respective niches

regardless of our disagreement, i was using that to elevate to a larger point which is that those rising stars primed to take the torch aren’t there anymore
emo rap fell off from mainstream once x peep and juice died
pop smoke is different tho because his content wasn’t that different from everyone else besides his booming vocals and crossover appeal
ny drill went back to being a regional thing for the most part with some breakouts time and time again
