    BRAVE

    Olivia blew out the gate cause she had a strongly and expressively written and sung epic of a song that was the most simultaneously catchy, universal and relatable piece of audio most people had heard in ages. Now y’all look at what I just said:

    • catchy
    • universal
    • relatable

    …can these be used to describe male Gen Z born hiphop acts atm, in ANY subgenre of rap btw?

    This too

    Her first hit was about getting a driver’s license within the context of a relationship. Which is basically relatable to half of Gen Z lol

    This isn’t true either. I can name more Disney artists that have successful music careers, over 15 of them than you can name that have failed

    Here’s the list of Disney kids that became pop superstars

    • Britney Spears

    • Christina Aguilera

    • Justin Timberlake

    • Selena Gomez

    • Demi Levato

    • Miley Cyrus

    • Olivia Rodrigo

    That’s 7 in the past what? 29 years?

    Compare that to actual record labels who pumped out more superstars in a year within that time span.

    I'm not tryna hear any pop stars on afro beats.

    I knew something was wrong when Roddy Ricch and Polo G had number one hits, and fell off like a year later.

    Niggas are being pushed through the machine aint spat out because there is no creativity or unpredictability. People already knows what your album sounds like before it drops.

    Dudes aint trynna be the next Kanye, Jay, or Kendrick etc, or their label isn't letting them. Now people have caught on.

    This has happened in every era of rap. It’ll balance itself out, but I personally think the industry’s lack of safety/acceptance towards women and queer people is what’s holding us up. Way too many female rappers just disappearing because the business side has treated them like s***. Someone like Tierra Whack for example could absolutely be a star

    This is another HOT TAKE that I have: Part of the reason why it seems like women are taking over is because none of the "big names" are experimenting compared to their male contemporaries.

    They're mostly making outside/booty shaking music, using conventional rap flows and rapping over conventional rap beats (not that I consider that to be bad thing).

    There isn't really a lot of BIG weirdo/alternative rappers in the female space. Outside of Doja Cat of course, if she even counts.

    No one cared about Tierra Whack enough. Azealia Banks is a hot mess. Rico Nasty just put out a tweet saying she'll be working at Burger King in five years.

    TiaCorine has one TikTok hit. Princess Nokia was selling feet pics on onlyfans before she got her Tik Tok hit.

    Why Tierra doesn't have a full length out atp is beyond me

    Also why are we forgetting baby keem exist he is artistic and skilled enough to carry and influence

    He has no persona people can pinpoint for him to stand out.

    Plus his music is hit or miss.

    Drake single handedly revived Durk's career. Wants and Needs is one of Baby's biggest songs. He had his hands on the levers for a decade. Don't play innocent now

    The guy would rather do EDM and play basketball than make another IYRTITL

    No auto Durk and India revived Durk career.

    I knew rap was dead when y’all kept trying to force Lil Babby, Gunna, Yachty, and Carti on us.
