embarrassing fr lmfao

her fans have insane spending power she will never leave these discussions

yeah metro's fanbase is huge, waaaay bigger than any other producers. people seek out songs he produces

i feel like a lot of it is because there's not many artists making take care/nwts type of music anymore

same with the weeknd

he's #2 on my spotify wrapped btw

Why are you so sensitive about the weeknd man lol

brother inshallah the kendrick plague will be over asap. no worries.

Heartless is not a “collab” with Metro Boomin

Metro’s fanbase as his own artist wasn’t even that big in 2019

If he’s #2 on your Wrapped, why are you questioning how he’s #2 Globally?

This trend will only contnue to showcase raps fall off even more in 2024's updated numbers especially when 2/3's of the year was run by morgan wallen, sabrina carpetner and shaboozy for the hot 100 #1, not even including ariana grandes #1's

wonder what the fix will be or by 2025 updated numbers, rap will be down to 10%

need to start gatekeeping deals for rappers again, make them have to come up under an established rapper again, actually craft an image, an aura, select a star

soundcloud era's "open door" long term effects vibrating in the 2020's

you realise heroes and villains was way bigger than dawn fm right? its one of the biggest albums of the last few years lol

i'd say 2018 is when he became big

I'm questioning why an artist who has always been very US centric isn't as big in the US as he is outside of the US smh

Congrats this is one of my fav KTT posts of 2024

I genuinely feel like you don’t understand words sometimes.

I said he was not big in 2019, and you bring up an album that released in 2022

this was a taylor swift concert in Germany. more people were outside the stadium than inside.

You were expecting someone to ask weren’t you

crine

nah, they knew

Absolutely, thats why you quoted yourself 3 hours later

Gatekeeping is ideal but then again oldheads in the SoundCloud era tried to do that and it only made the wave bigger

All HipHop needs now is a new wave that appeals to a wide majority while also maintaining quality control

He leaned too heavily into pop, and U.S. interest in him peaked with My Dear Melancholy

Wouldn’t that be After Hours?
