    2014 was a very dry year for hip hop charting. We can survive

  • Aug 11, 2023

    I think this might just be a natural cycle for hip-hop though. I’ve thought about doing a full write up as its own post but haven’t been able to organize my thoughts. Hip-hop and its need of “saviors” is what produces superstars. Two examples that spring to mind are Kanye “saving” hip-hop from gangsta rap and the bling era then Drake “saving” hip-hop from the ringtone era.

    Hopefully this new rap recession can produce another “savior”

    The masses not fw hiphop like that and it’s not just some “culture vultures hopping off the bandwagon” thing either. That’s p much it

    It literally is culture vultures hopping off though. A pretty good chunk lol. Pop and country has had worse chart outputs and still fill the top 10. Why not hip-hop?

    Radio & payola pop and country have had that in their back pocket for decades fighting multiple lawsuits

    I was legit happy for her when this happened it was a sigh of relief I think everyone in the know felt. And not just her getting a solo #1 finally, but her being the first female rapper to debut with one this century is the extra f*** you to everyone. Then the biggest debut is the cherry on top
