Hiphop doesn’t need Gatekeepers, all the culture vultures eventually fall off because they still need to be accepted into the culture to stay on.
If her label plays their cards right, Olivia Rodrigo will be the Britney Spears of this gen.
Cupcakke is the reason these female rappers can thrive by being overly sexual without having to be good lyricists.
Brent Faiyaz is the King Of R&B rn
Little Simz didn't even have a top 3 album from the UK this year.
Her album was the typical hip hop elitist type that gets a lot of recognition but dies down tremendously as time goes on (Like No Name).
(And it's not disrespect to the artist. She makes good music, but it was overhyped for what it was)
”Cupcakke is the reason these female rappers can thrive by being overly sexual without having to be good lyricists.”
Nah we just lower the standard for them cause we appreciate that they can finally thrive beyond “only one female MC at the top”
Are people still trying to give Cupcakke credit for what Nicki brought up (at least in the mainstream) I seen that take on Twitter a long time ago and I just disagree. It feels like people think every artist needs to leave some big legacy or impact behind to matter. She wasn't doing anything crazy groundbreaking and thats ok. Trying to give her credit for female rappers being overly sexual is a huge reach and ignores everyone that came before her

Music in general honestly
Gatekeepers suck in a lot of ways but without them you just get lowest common denominator music
