    I’m no industry guy but the hip-hip market feels like pop rn not plants but artist being selected and invested in

    The soundcloud era was really the only time when what you described wasn't the norm

    Not reading all that but to answer your question no its not

    A lot of non black people hopped on rap in the last decade but they are strictly consumers, they dont dictate trends or introduce anything new.

    The core of rap is still with young black men from poor-lower middle class backgrounds

    Is the OP living in a parallel universe?

    NBA Youngboy just got a number 1 album while in jail. Durk is doing shows nationwide. Lil Baby's biggest song is about race relations.

    Pretty sure the OP just wanted to s*** on Drake for a plat thread but I'm still not sure what he's saying.

    Hip hop has been corporate and ran by major labels since the 80's. And Jay-Z has been flaunting his success and bragging about his wealth since forever.

    Ironically, in 2013, Jay made a song about Picasso while Drake was getting clowned for making a song called Started From The Bottom.

    No such thing as rap being "gentrified" all of a sudden while ignoring just how much business people like Jimmy Iovine, Rick Rubin, Russell Simmons, Diddy, and Lyor Cohen play in rap's traditional success in the mainstream.

    I would not have guessed this thread was going to be about Drake from the title, but here we are

    and no, kids are blowing up off bandlab vocals recorded w apple earbud mics, high end gear is not required

    Just assume every thread on this site is about Drake until CLB dies down
