Haven’t enjoyed new rap for like 3 years now
Her Loss was good but Drake sounds soulless at this point
How old are you
Like could you see a time where we have a Cole, Drake and Cole simultaneously again?
Or a 50, Wayne, Kanye?
From like 2019 to 2022 it’s been 📉 for me
No but it’s not a reflection the music industry is more just people being to fragmented amongst their own cultural bubbles for there to ever be that extent l of monoculture again.
We see this in film, television, even the memes/sm we follow it’s just a symptom not the cause.
How old are you
28.
So you can prolly understand where I’m coming from.
I was an aware kid when 50, Eminem, Kanye, Wayne dropped.
In my young adult phase when Cole, Kendrick, Drake dropped.
So who in this generations gonna inspire me? Lil Baby? 🥴
Future’s run was life saving though, long too. Drake and Fewtch most consistent
Rap’s slowly dying
Rap as a mainstream commodity is growing,Rap as an art form and culture is "pick at it with a stick" dead

Basically this
It actually hurts my soul and gives me depression lol.
Knowing it’s not looking likely I’ll get that Take Care first listen feeling back. Or enjoy hitting the club to I’m on one again.
It ain’t the same
How is pop on top?
Y’all let the radio and the fake billboard charts fool y’all into thinking these pop stars are bigger than they are.
you letting catalog streams fool you into think people are bigger than they are.

No I’m not
compare artists last albums
All I’m doing is highlighting which music is being played more. I’m not arguing which specific artists are bigger. I’m saying rap is listened to more than pop music still.
Rap isn’t devolving but music consumption is
There will be no more superstars.
interesting take
as far as traditional superstar maybe. youngboy could be on that level he just so anti industry it’s hard for pop crowds to root for him
bro check sales and streams combined not just streams
streams are the most accurate indication of what’s popular
Drake’s reign has only been so long because no one news been good enough to replace him.
I don’t think it’s ever taken 10 years for someone to be unseated in rap history
All of the top contenders died

so you’re just a f***ing loser and you’re projecting that onto an entire genre and culture
