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:
…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
Also why are we forgetting baby keem exist he is artistic and skilled enough to carry and influence
Now this explains why I keep getting reccomended latin music on my Spotify even though I click not interested

And he already has
If we cut out Drake, Kendrick, Cole, Kanye etc who are the stars of the current gen?
Travis, Carti, Ice Spice? Uzi?

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.
Last time this happened guess who was popping in the underground
TDE
Odd Future
ASAP Mob
Pro Era
Stay tuned…
what a time
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.

Tyler erasure
frank come back pls

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

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.

Damn lol. That's not a lot to work with.
Travis and Carti are doing a lot of heavy lifting for this gen
