well also ppl are lazy and dont wanna do the work them selves in finding and discovering new music they just want it brought to them with no effort

I'm not a Playlist guy

However I am a youtube recommended guy when it comes to discovery

I was selling crack in the 80’s

This comment killed me no lie

i’m early 20s too and i don’t like playlisting tbh and i never have

Playlists have just replaced radio for the average person. Friend of mine is on tour right now thanks to his songs getting traction through playlists. Never would have gotten that sort of traction through radio not being signed to a label

Whatever effect it has on music as a whole or established artists is one thing, but I’d say playlists have made it much easier to get people to listen to your songs now as a young artist than 20 years ago. Not to say it’s easy. It’s just a different game

ktt isn't willing to see the light unfortunately + i don't think rym has a "artists like this" feature that's easy to see

who

Playlists suck

You’re being fed the same BS

shut up

Yeah it suck’s every one listens to the same music so they have to make these colorful metrics to appeal to the massive ego of the music listener who thinks they’re music tastes gives them some value in any way

Playlist are own/bought/sponsored by the labels, of course there is no creativity.

The labels also owns shares of the streaming services, the internet music revolution has been bought

not sure i agree with mick jenkins, i think that’s the easy excuse

i legit don’t think i’ve actively listened to a playlist that isn’t my own, ever, apart form techno clubs playlist like the berghain one so i can find the odd tune ID

but most of my listening is done via digging, checking twitter, what people are posting on here and generally staying curious for new music

maybe most people don’t do that? not sure

yep most people don’t do that.
Most people have a passive (not active) interest in music, unlike the majority of people on this music artist fan forum website

Tbf there’s like 5 playlists that pretty much copy the Rap Caviar playlist

Rap Life
Rap Heavy Hitters
On Repeat
It’s Lit
Get Up & Go
New In Hip Hop
Hip Hop Hits
The Plug
GymFlow
HipHop Workout

These all virtually have street rap artists and mainstream rap acts

And also like….the last 2 playlists seem very redundant. Both are for working out like comin we don’t need 2 of those.

I mean it’s true, check my post on page 2, but ight lol. Let me know if any of the genres I listed interest you, got recommends for all of them
