Rap fans definitely got dumber as the rappers themselves got s***tier though.
Dorks on KTT1/2, twitter, irl around 2016 Bigged up people like Uzi, and while his music did sound good, he and others in that XXL Year s***ted on raps nature by being cringe refusing to freestyle, say lyrical is wack etc.
It sounds cool when youre a young kid and you think you're the s*** so you develop that Edgy Defiant Contrarian in you. So you as the fan hop on board saying "bro this s*** cringe 😂😂😂😂 stop trying fr s*** aint serious" Then suddenly get surprised when everyone stops trying

Pharrell used to rap a lot better than them too
Pharrell had a dope rapping voice but its obvious as hell he didn't write any of his bars
That In My Mind album he dropped made it very apparent that nigga really didn't give af about what he was saying
Feel like it needs to be said that tons of people turning on and smearing the biggest rapper in the game isn’t gonna be helpful for the genre’s dominance

They never claimed him anyways and where comparing him to Flo Rida.
When a genre becomes number #1, that’s when it starts counting its days
A genre can’t be number 1 without mass exploitation & the watering down of quality, the effects of capitalism to put it short.
Yep. This is probably what's about to happen
For better or worse

Doomsayer ass thread
Hiphop aint going no where and it don't matter if all the cacs take over back the charts with their generic ass electro pop and country tracks
We still got Trav, Kendrick and Future running s***
Ehhh if those three are Hip Hops last line of defense :
Love em boys too btw. But we gonna need WAAAY more firepower than that
F*** Billboard we don’t need the d*** swinging in rap anymore, let’s get back to the music

Kinda insane how MF Doom has 9.1 million Spotify listeners monthly without a single Billboard hit.
That's f***ing insane even for dead rappers.

BigX got almost as many monthly listeners as Ice Spice, wipes down any rage artist aside from Yeat with 5 songs with 100M plays but we barely talk about him here or anywhere tryna tell niggas that chart and internet hype does not matter or tell the whole story

The ultimate goal should be to have a strong core fanbase whether you're commercial or Indie.
We've all seen fly by night rappers like Lil Pump, Tekashi, Trinidad James, Desiigner, etc. top the charts or even have a big album without having a real fanbase, causing them to crash and burn when they no longer make hits.

Fanbases are built in verses that are catchy and revealing and poetic, that’s why lyricists and guys with strong personas - built in their verses - typically have the most dedicated fanbases
