Very depressing & true lol

stream Texas Hold ‘Em.

Yall say it’s trash and then point to billboard and then in the next breath say sales done matter when Drake fans bring it up lol.

yeah, mainstream hip-hop objectively has been on a decline in terms of relevancy and also quality

i don’t see the inconsistency here

Ebb and flow of music genres, we just gotta deal with being the once great voice of music, rockers accepted it

bro was ahead of his time

it’s crazy how Complex saw the influence and vision of this project before this site did

now they d***ride Carti on here

get up on your good foot!

who is in your avi omg

my twin got the best taste in men i fear

Look at the rising stars of each genre and you'll see why that is

The trenches still fw it, suburban KTT ain’t wanna accept it 😴

I’m guilty of listening to said artists but I gotta admit I agree

stream The Brothers Sun on Netflix. 🥢

Whats crazy is that yall are arguing in here but missing the fact that Billboard purposely sabotaged rap because rap was running the charts at the turn of the decade until they made all these excessive rule changes to benefit country/pop artists

The soul of Hip Hop is literally dead, so where does the genre go now?

Oh he is

He’s a hack

like bringing back the bundles

I never looked at him the same after he was b****ing about all the guitarists hes never heard of on Rolling Stones list because they were above the dudes from Journey and Nazareth

Not surprising

New rappers aren't that interesting anymore, the most interesting ones unfortunately died and people are ready to move on. The general population is only interested in the music from rappers who are in the game for a longer time nowadays (Drake, Kendrick, Ye etc.) and it's definitely not changing in the future

True and the bigger thing people miss is hip hop was the biggest genre since the 90s but it just wasn’t reflected because the charts didn’t benefit them or reflect the demographic, so it took until streaming for it to show. But anyone who takes that “hip hop became the biggest in 2017” or whatever it was thing is dumb

And some people really do go by that and kind of use it to say that hip hop before that wasn’t as universal, I’ve seen it with my own eyes

mid (alien guy)
mid
absolutely crazy mid (will be forgotten in a year and people only care about her because she looks fine)

Hip hop is forever and will continue to influence most genres

i don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, this might push rappers to do more unique s*** instead of rinse repeat mid

The current era of rappers don't know how to make club hits, simply put.

We are in a period where rappers are just local gang members that have no real talent, no personality, nor know how to make catchy music. They are just rapping out a studio in their house for fun, no true passion. They didn't grow up obsessed with writing and creating music they just got bored and figured they could do it. The output they make appeals to a very specific demo (usually the hood in their local city). It's not music that appeals to a widespread mainstream audience.

Jack Harlow got the #1 song right now because he is a rapper who knows he isn't from the streets so he isn't trying to make a song about shooting 7 people. He focusing on making a catchy club hit.

Kanye, Drake, Cole, Kendrick, etc had so much appeal cause they weren't just portraying the generic trap king & jailbird image. That stuff does not go far and only appeals to a very narrow audience.
