Which song is this from?

Remove him from the equation and trap never crosses over and country or hyperpop probably takes its place

It’s insane how much bigger YoungBoy could’ve been if he played the Industry game

Muh artsy exception

Oh I’ve never heard of this

Enjoy fam, its so good

If it was, it was worth it.

We got groundbreaking innovation to a mundane sub-genre with tired themes

I couldn’t name 10 great mainstream rap projects outside of Carti after that

Gunna was the last hope
Free wunner

What are your thoughts on YEAT?

I don’t respect rage hop outside of Carti whatsoever

Yeat got great albums tho
Need to hear his mixtapes

Next up if he can stay out of trouble and take the needle out of his arm

no...? trap is a very easily digestible and palpable sound, drake definitely helped popularize it, but it would've found success either way

country and hyperpop would've definitely not had taken its place of all genres

Drake doing Versace, my way, where u at/Jumpman definitely helped spearhead things

Maybe for young folks having their “trap realized” moment but that totally discredits the mainstream onset of trap music led by T.I., Young Jeezy, and Gucci Mane.

I know he’s treated like a social pariah now but how do you feel about Tekashi 69’s debut album?

It’s got heavy rage overtones.

People itt saying the man in op is wrong and then go naming new artists that nobody outside of the internet has heard from proves what the guy in op is saying.

Rap is declining at a despicable pace because of the insane talent gap.

A decade ago we had Drake, Kendrick & J.Cole come up at the same time... S-tier artists. And then I forget slightly lesser tier artists like: Rocky, Mac Miller, Future, Thug...

Today we have JID ? Yeat? Baby Keem and Jack Harlow - the last one described as a one trick pony with no discernible trick. It's just not comparable.

Ice Spice

i remember people saying stuff like this in 2012 when everyone thought EDM was gonna replace it lol

Need more sub genres.

Jazz Doom Metal Hip Hop or some thing

More live instruments

like if you heard 10 trap songs from people like Gucci, Future, 21 Savage, Migos you'll get the gist of it

Pretty clear that the mainstream stranglehold is over. No new mainstream hip hop acts have broken since pre-pandemic. I think that’s pretty much the death knell. In the 2014-2019 era we had new artists hitting the Hot 100 every month.

Dance and Latin are up next.
