Cause Rap was #1 for awhile. I don't think we've seen a genre dominate like that since Rock. Of course it's gonna be more criticized

Damn I really hope people dont really believe this lmao.

Thug hasn't innovated in years bro. He was stagnant before he got locked up

Peep and X and Pop were the final frontier of rap.

That sentence sounds CRAZY as hell lol.

He was right

Please educate us on how Ai is gonna kill all genres

thats not the point im making

i don’t think that at all

what im tryna say is that there hasn’t been any big stars that can build up a big fanbase besides legacy acts like drake, kendrick, etc. since then

what i can say positively is thats changing, ice spice broke past being a meme artist and is now gathering her own following but her sound isnt anything super interesting and is similar to her contemporaries, this is also a trait with those three artists IMO

what im looking for is a drake and 2008 ye type figure that can change the paradigm again

we need something after 2010s trap music

thug was the last real trailblazer we need something fresh

It's cause Gambino ISN'T behind bars

If you say so lmao

The moment I start seeing "Women need to stop listening to Latto, Sexyy Red, and Glorilla and listen to women rapping about real s*** like Little Simz!" I'll know right then and there she is cooked. Seen this exact kinda s*** many times before.

I aint them type of listeners but i get your point.

I made a thread bigging up simbi the year it dropped lmao

Never did that about any Rapsody project (Laila Wisdom is amazing but Eve was kind of a drop off)

stfu and drop something then

This...is an entirely different discussion from what you and I were having

You don't have to be one of those listeners. S***, I wasn't one of those listeners for Rapsody. I wasn't one of those listeners for Jean Deaux. I wasn't one of those listeners for Angel Haze. And unfortunately nobody talks about them now.

Is it their fault? Of course not. To me, I just see it as a "mark of death" when they become the example lame niggas use to big up against "pussy raps". S***, it almost happened to Noname til she dropped Room 25 and started dropping more "sexually liberated" bars and going at J Cole and Kendrick.

But what defines #1 cuz all it takes is all the big rap artists to drop an album (example, if Drake Kendrick Cole Kanye Jay Eminem all dropped, you doubt any of them goin #1?)
Its not like all the smaller ones or ones who dropped a lot in one year were dropping and goin #1 every time

And what genre is alive exactly? Taylor Swift isn’t a genre or maybe is
bino still mad from that bullshit project from a couple of years go

Go back to being cast in bs movie hoping to breathe the same air as Jamie Foxx

Damn this is a stupid post.

Many people of all genres got blocked by Morgan Wallen.

He had Billboard in a stranglehold and Durk, Thugger, and Gunna would've went number 1 without him.

this but I’m actually dead serious

Drake, Cole and Kendrick have been the big three off Hip Hop for damn near a decade with neary another superstar rapper in sight. I think his point stands, rap is not in a good place. There is nobody to take the torch and further shift the culture.

When Drake cole and Kendrick are still talked about like “the big 3”. It’s definitely on life support lol

Bringing up Jean deaux is crazy cause she do them sexual lyrics too lmao

And your original post said “but the numbers show otherwise” like noname really breaking the bank with 1st week sales?

Truly, like somehow less people with access and ability would make the space more innovative and varied? Ease of access to creative tools is one of the best things to ever come out of the internet age

A stupid post for a stupid statement

Facts
These threads are just full of ppl who want to validate why they don’t like the albums coming out instead of just saying they don’t like it, they wanna claim the genre dying
Even with X Juice and Pop passing away, i remember ppl hating on them on they come up
