    X was really his generation’s PAC, it was more than just music. He reached and inspired ppl in a deep way

    Juice was really like Biggie in that he made great catchy music so effortlessly

    Rip X but 2pac was a household name and in movies, aside from being in the biggest beef in the history of hip hop and f***ing Madonna. Just doesn't compare imo

    we gonna have to discuss how street rappers took the overly emotional emo wave and made it “grow up” and put real stories behind it…

    This kinda proves my point

    The kind of image and music PAC and Big made continue to be at the forefront of hip hop

    X Juice and also Peep dying literally killed the emo SoundCloud wave

    That’s what I mean by more impact.

    This is apples and oranges tho. You’re simplifying how it works too much so you can make this equivalency of “they died and the sound they led kept going while the others died and the sound they led died with them”

    1. The sounds Pac and Big led were tied to superstar producers and others who were influenced by those producers- ofc the sound would continue

    2. The wave of X and Juice was already clearly dying out in 2018 after its peak, they two of the only artists still relevant so when they died, it goes without saying the wave would die too. S*** was gonna die regardless. But even then you have someone like Laroi who is an example of Juice’s influence so he still kept going in a way

    X and Pop Smoke were the ones.

    Juice never had the juice imo

    Xxxtentacion really was the one. Always unpredictable with his music. He was so so talented

    You do know X was indeed a homophobe like how you tried to paint Freddie as one in the other thread or does that only apply to people you don’t like?

    This big 3 s*** is corny now you get nothing out of it. All three of these artist would still be competing with the current “Big 3”, especially Drake.

    No the problem with them is they are all somewhat in the Future tree and Pop is in the Chief Keef tree.

    Future and Keef don’t get enough credit. Especially Fewtch. The reason is cuz they don’t got “bars” . They not traditional rap. Future ran 2016 but people sit here online saying TPAB did. S*** is comical.

    All these new artist are more influenced by Future and take his approach to music. Therefore there is a LARGE fraction of hip hop consumers that just hate and don’t give these new niggas credit for running s***. So that’s why s*** is “stagnant” and no I don’t think those kids would be getting some universal credit as being the new big 3

    You mean 2015

  • Aug 25, 2022

    Might be into something. I seldom listen to any new hip hop artist nowadays. The last relatively new artist I fw is Glorilla. Before her it was EST Gee and Key Glock. Afrobeats, amapiano n rnb is mostly all I’m listening to for the last few years.

    This is why I don’t even engage anymore. Nobody has real opinions it’s all about interacting because we’re all bored. Which is fine but gets boring after years

    Pac was more conscious than gangster though. He rapped way more about real life, Black issues, and about his mental state than he did stereotypical gangster stuff.

    Ironically, Biggie's raps were way more grimy and gangster than Pac's. Biggie even rapped about raping and robbing people whereas Pac rarely took it that far.

    ehhh
    imo he was equal parts gangster and fighter for political / social change, which is part of why his message was so confusing to people that are outside of hip-hop, he contradicted himself a lot
