nah i think it’s more telling if the whole industry can’t find one regardless, just means drake was the last real appeal of the industry for a min
other genres are seeing superstars rise in the streaming era, so why not rap?
cause maybe they are trying to replace rap?
No, lil uzi vert makes "children music" that is listened to by people in those age ranges of 12 - 25
& it was more of a statement. Lil uzi vert super status declined but he was very close to drake & kendrick levels (without grammys) Honestly more of a superstar than Carti if we're being real.
Peace tho,
So you agree neither are superstars.
I’d also say Uzi makes music for the ages 12-17.
Gen Z black men (born 1997-2012) haven’t actually seen that someone their age can make a project with the level of versatility, hitmaking, and special rapping needed to be fully THAT guy regardless of era. Not the way Millennials saw it from their own or Gen Xers did. So the spirit around doing THAT isn’t in the air creatively in any subgenre of rap we reside
Things might’ve been different if Keef, Thug, and Future - the guys that shaped what our gen’s rap ethos has come to be - had projects in their style on the level of Take Care/GKMC/FHD in checking off those essential RAP GUY boxes…but that’s not how it went
This s*** is also not over.

Future has multiple projects on those level
Future has multiple projects on those level
DS2 alone is better than anything J Cole has ever conceived but Future doesn’t have THAT type of project
They’re trying to position Central Cee.
Nah Kendrick killed that , he’s not apart of the “culture” ppl are going to say he’s “cosplayin”

Central Cee is actually from where he says he’s from. He a uk nigga through and through.
He’s not tryna be from atl or Houston sometimes when it suits him.
The comparisons between them begin and end at them being light skinned/mixed and from outside of the US

True but he’s actually cosplaying lmao look at him at few years ago
I don't gaf if the Canadian culture vulture bounces back and sells million and a half fw. I never listened to him and never will.
Kendrick put him in his place, and sissy boy Drake can't erase that, even if he sells 5 million with his next weedplate and racks up an extra $10 billion.
What Kendrick did is waaaaay bigger.
Cool no need for all the hostile posts lil one
Something musical: the orator flare to vocal delivery needs to come back amongst younger rappers. One can’t be the true leader of rap without a full rap voice and one cannot have a full rap voice without the orator flare.
A British rapper will never take over in American hip hop, he’ll have the same issue drake did
Might be the biggest in Canada/Europe tho
Streaming culture and globalization has changed everything, I believe he has a best chance now than any other time prior in hip hop.
yall make multiple drake threads every day and expect the era to end? lmao
everyone loves to talk abt the fall of rome
yall make multiple drake threads every day and expect the era to end? lmao
"Lmao"
It’s time to realize Nav already surpassed Drake years ago
The Big3 has been Nav, Future and Kendrick for at least 10 years
No one but Drake himself and Druski been saying he is in the discussion
Real hip hop heads knows he didn’t even surpass French Montana

He’s not black though … not mixed with anything black lol
