yea the peak has been over for like 10 or 15 years
its still cool but it'll never reach the previous heights. we're never gonna get an artistic output like we did in the 90s
Commercially peaked in the 2000s
Artistically peaked in the 2010s
Your post made me remember about that stat that showed that EVERY artist who had a number 1 song in 2004 was Black/POC.
It was monumental and something that I don't see being replicated anytime soon.
Even 2003 had damn near the same stat except with Clay Aiken.

That’s the issue man. You don’t value a good topic just the attention that comes with it
Hm

Saw a random Twitter user say Evil Kenievel, I'm off 10 school buses and have been thinking about that punchline for days in between listening to H31r and thinking up bars myself.
Industry is trash but that's true of like everything so lol.
H31R’s HeadSpace OUT NOW
It's good. All those not here to support the culture out of love an appreciation will leave since they can make a quick buck elsewhere
Dmx dropped two platinum albums in 1998 and he was new back then
I know numbers are different today but anything is possible if a new artist can come in and do that

but dmx had an aura to himself back then. a unique presence. his sound, energy, voice, etc. was just special. nobody is making the effort to do something like that now.

or 2009
those peaks were so astronomically high tho
Something that didn’t dawn on me until now about all this “music/pop/hiphop/r&b is dead” kerfuffle is that there’s been a void of black male music that everyone loves. The pop is dead and r&b is dead discussions have been going on longer too - for as long as the void of black men became apparent. And to be very real, mainstream music has been dependent on black males for smash hits for a long ass time. So once hiphop, the last bastion of beloved crossover black male music, grew this same void, the public lost it.
Just a thought tho
