you went from needing a legit pen and being “authentic” in your songs to only needing some strong production and a melodic flow, you get a couple co-signs you’re essentially in the rap game

that’s why people are s***ting on that SoundCloud rap era, has nothing to do with “rap purism”

Like dawg, it’s real artists out here that are 1000x better talent wise than ian: @hadjigaviota @Mitchell @AmoryBlain

hell f*** imposter syndrome nigga I def make better music than homie

None of us mentioned got the financial backing or team that ian got. And apparently neither do the other artists that ian’s manager has (like kayCyy) has it either.

@Slapfiendd you being hella disingenuous bro. Hella disingenuous.

Gen. Z doesn’t value music or art. They see music as content and the market has adjusted.

Sucks for the music lovers of that generation

Fair, but also isn’t this just the modern zoomer sense of humor?

Funny cuz Ian has better punchlines than most rappers in recent years though? He literally blew up off a punchline being good

thread going from "white artists who perform blackface gaining traction via nepotism and industry co-signs is bad for the culture" to rap purists seeking validation for hating modern trap music. weird conflation & very telling.

this has been a problem since eminem - who continues to be lauded for putting out s*** music - so i'll gladly take one of these new gen artists who are actually Black over their white counterparts anyday. also anyone using the term mumble rap is someone who don't need to be in the conversation.

Eminem's early music about hip hop/white america hits a lil harder nowadays ngl

Thug fans are highkey scumbags i swear lol

they trolled Wayne fans for literally years, called everything Thug did amazing and classic, and now years later when it’s finally time to have an honest conversation about how a lot of his s*** wasn’t like that + his influence wasn’t exactly positive, now it’s “you’re just hating”

dishonest pieces of s***

Can’t deny Thug’s influence imo. One of my favs of this trap s*** but pretentious videos like this are the perfect description of what you mean I think
