milquetoast take

lil wayne is still the greatest rapper of all time, but rxk nephew is the greatest rapper alive right now

chappel roan sucks and I f***ing hate that 80s revival is still going on

jack harlow is extremely underrated

Dude that s*** is so ass

I checked her out because of the hype she was getting on here and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing

I'm stuck going to a chapel roan dance party thing cause my wife really wanted to go

It's at my fav venue/bar at least but I think imma be drinking extra to make it through

Her music is inescapable. I remember hearing RAM the first time in 2013 and thinking "dope, now 80s revival has peaked and we can move on"

Then weekend had to do it, and now 11 years later pop is STILL being dominated with this s***

F***ing move on to the 90s at least goddam

Completely agreed. At least daft punk did it right, weeknd has good production, but wtf is chapel roan thinking

Apparently the right thing cause she's legit huge now

Never heard of Chapel Roan, I’m so out of touch

at a certain point we have to accept that its not just a revival or a fad anymore, its a permanent sound that just came up and is associated with that earlier time

I don't think Chappell Roan even sounds like a direct 80s throwback either, I feel like a lot of people just hear the entire dance-pop genre and brand it as 80s throwback unless its like Britney-sounding or something

I agree unfortunately but it's bothersome how much overall space it takes, and how lazy some of the tropes can end up being

I still feel ram is peak 2000s 80s stuff and it was 11 years ago. A new version was even rereleased last year. Starboy was fun too, but I can't name another album like this that was really original and pushed boundaries within the sound

People look at her big singles and look and think it’s all 80s

using a tried-and-true sound with some fresh personality, presentation or other sound sprinkled in feels like the name of the game in pop history tbh. then gradually i guess we can just hope for those small changes to add up and end up changing the sound in a bigger way across decades. some eras bound to end up sounding a lot more homogenized than others

I think Chappell is succeeding mainly through writing that really helps her emotional connection with the audience plus just well-made catchy pop music that still goes through a few moods and styles without being too daring. then add in some virality factor, memorable image, attention to performances, demographic appeal through LGBT and feminist factor and shes a superstar

Tha Carter IV is the best Carter

Not a hot take

Drop the takes

Drake dissing Meg and Rihanna in the same time frame did serious damage to his image and started the pivot to the loser s*** he been on in his music as of late.

Corny tbh

21 best rapper out of the XXL freshmen

Kendrick?

not even the best rapper on his cypher

I meant his year

The “OV hoe” part in Not Like Us is annoying
