because Young Thug is in jail

Cause Taylor Swift racist

also, we’re only 5 months in

Hip hop not being too dog anymore is a good thing. Now all the vultures that got into rap after 2015 will slowly fade away

Rappers are getting too comfortable in making forgettable music

Dog lol

And the culture shuns anyone who calls it out

We're basically at the halfway point in June so its more or less the same thing.

6 months and the biggest rapper who has dropped an album is Lil Durk

Asking “why” is a moot, redundant point by now. It gets said every month almost.

Morgan Wallen - 10 Weeks
Miley Cyrus - 8 Weeks
Taylor Swift - 2 weeks
Mariah Carey - 1 week
The Weeknd - 1 week
SZA - 1 Week
Jimin - 1 Week

It seems white america’s had a comeback with Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift

As a bonus Miley forged a hit out of nowhere

we’re in hip hop ALBUM fatigue

listeners are feeling burned after listening to multiple overlong underpromoted boring rap albums

Cuz the mainstream s*** been inessential

Haven’t been many major name drops iirc.
Plenty of good stuff from smaller artists, but baring Metro, whose album is a soundtrack, and Tyler, whose album is just a deluxe expansion of an existing album, I can’t think of any rappers who are big enough to have a shot at that #1 that have dropped this year

Nobody dropping

Yup the mainstream hasn’t changed since 2017 except maybe a rapper or two

Drake, 21, Thug, Future, Migos, Uzi, Travis, Post Malone, YB, Kendrick, Cole, Gunna, etc

bundles coming back made everyone hold off

Sad sight.

this whole “hip hop is dying” “no rap albums have not topped the charts yet” thread discussion is getting old ngl. like y’all rap is gonna be fine i promise lol

All the mid rappers dropping forgettable mid

All the good rappers are still cooking

Also I think the mainstream has been going thru hip hop fatigue and want to listen to other s***

Imagine if Drake took 5-6 year breaks like some of you have been begging him to do?

you know it’s a rough year when the 5 most listened are

ice spice
nle choppa
don toliver
armani white (guy who made that billie eilish song)
NF

plus uzi and capitalist scott is dropping soon so this should end quickly

Not really. Those ''fan packs'' will never have the same kind of impact bundles had and only a select few artists with a particular kind of fanbase can benefit from using them.
