BLACKPOPSTARPop is separate from this. He was important too but X Juice and Uzi were literally bringing a whole new sound and vibe to the game. They were gonna push hip hop to a distinct new era
Pop was great but just an updated version of something we’ve seen and heard before
How is x and juice not just an updated version we seen before?

Pop better than all 3
Aug 25, 2022BLACKPOPSTARLosing X and Juice lowkey more impactful than PAC and Big dying.
At least they still had Jay and then Em and DMX popped up. And Outkast and Lauryn Hill was still pushing things forward.
X and Juice dying (and Peep to lesser extent) literally killed a whole new sound from developing
Edit: in terms of pushing the culture forward. PAC and Big died and gangsta/bling bling rap still kept flourishing for another 5-7 years.
X and Juice died and Uzi falling off literally killed the emo/rage/SoundCloud era
F*** outta here
Aug 25, 2022Both Lil Baby and Pop Smoke are superior to the school shooter soundtrack

Aug 25, 2022uzi and part of the new big 3? lmao
Aug 25, 2022BLACKPOPSTARUzi
X
JuiceThese 3 were gonna be the leaders musically, aesthetically, and culturally for they’re generation just like Drake Kendrick and Cole.
X and Juice dying really f***ed up the game.
And I feel like they’re lack of energy negatively affected Uzi’s artistry cuz he hasn’t touched LIR2 since.
Lil Peep dying plays a part too, say what you want but that emo/rage SoundCloud era was different unique and spoke to a generation just like the blog era spoke to mine
Current era we in has no direction, no narrative. Everyone just putting out projects and songs just cuz
Carti lowkey the only one keeping things interesting.
Culture would’ve been in such a fascinating space with X Uzi Juice Peep and Carti leading the way.
I really feel like the Emo/Rage SoundCloud era was the second coming of the 90s Grunge scene

A Mad Ass NiggaHip hop is in a great place right not. Anyone saying otherwise don’t listen to enough music and only listen to the s*** that’s pushed on them.
I think hip-hop is in a good place but I also think artists like XXXTENTACION, Juice WRLD, and Lil Peep were among few genuine trailblazers in a generation of very derivative and watered down people who just want to ride the wave. There are more but those guys had the combo of pop appeal with the willingness to experiment and color outside the lines

FaithYou 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?
It seemed like X was a changed man but we didn't get to experience that fully as he was killed. Freddie on the other hand is a 40 year old man using gay as a slur

Y’all keep trying to force big 3’s without YB Kodak and baby
When the new big 3 is Lowkey YB Kodak and baby lol. We’re back to the 2000’s amount of slots where it was TIP Em 50 Wayne Kanye. Just need those wild card artists
No disrespect and rip to juice. I just feel like x would have been one. Uzi is alive and well thankfully and is subtly falling off tho lol.

"monoculture" death is overstated and the extent of the monoculture in previous generations is also overstated

Hip Hop is not stagnant
You niggas simply aren’t listening to that much music and you keep using dumb ass phrases like “the big 3” like it’s a f***ing NBA team or some s***

What is ur race
Jan 24, 2023There was never a new big 3
never will bethat only applies to the era Drake, Cole & Kendrick are apart of
Jan 24, 2023Y’all laugh at OP and he may have been dramatic but he’s not all the way wrong. Imagine if Kurt, Dre, RZA died right before or after their defining moments in music. It would have killed any chance of Grunge, G-Funk, and East Coast Rap taking over and having an impact
Jan 24, 2023Big and Pac died and Jay Nas DMX Eminem etc thrived
2 artist shouldn’t dictate weather or not a whole genre is stagnant or not
