Untiljapan is real nice

right, but nobody was (well besides ye himself) calling him a visionary until he earned it with that amazing streak of albums.
the game had higher standards back then and ye matched it with his drive. that’s the s*** we need (among other things) if we want to turn the ship around

Firstly thank u

second when ur peeping them try 2 peep the songs i linked

thirdly idk why mainstream potential is relevant to them being what i claimed dem to be

And just because u don’t like Jane or whatever don’t mean they ain’t young and artsy with a vision
Idk with jim or skai yet either but hey they on the up and coming

peep his album trompe l’oeil it’s rly good they cut that song Mercedes 2005 and tightropes from streaming version those songs are amazing album still good tho

He just said it wrong

Back then when Drake dropped best I ever had people said on this guys going to be the next big thing. When Kendrick was coming up people said he’d be the next best rapper alive. Cole with his athlete mixtape series. I was wrong but I thought Lupe would end up becoming a GOAT. Thought Jay Electronica would contend to be the best rapper alive.

We don’t need someone to come out the gates and be a Kanye but when’s the last time someone even came out that you could look at and say yeah he’s gonna run this one day

hip hop marketshare is still biggest it’s just people listening to old albums instead championing new talent

yea bro ur not a young visionary if your not at the level of the 2 greatest artists of all time at 22

do yall not realize also that nobody will be even if they were ur older now it’s a dif world if a new gen person considers someone on that level u might not even agree lol insane expectations aside like these are artists you have years of memories with

even with my own listening habits, i have 100% slowed down seeking brand new music and kinda content with stuff i love already

i like lot uk underground dudes coming up but they aren’t gonna be global superstars just due to accent

I’m ngl that’s you I don’t see this at all in anyone I know other than people that like naturally would end up that way that’s more of a getting older thing

Matter fact mad people I see approaching that get pulled back in cuz they constantly have exposure to potential stuff

Even when I’m in a phase like that it’s so easy to slip out of lol I do find tho that getting into old music phases and s*** is way easier cuz I don’t have to pay or download some random 90s rock album

Tbh Esdeekid might do it

mink and esdeekid already basically mainstream adjacent tbh and their growth isn’t slowing down yet

Suffering at an all-time high globally and mainstream niggas talking bout handbags the only thing left for this thing to do is decline

As for us niggas we’ll be listening to Geese, NBT and Mk.Gee til this s*** get back to what it was ✌🏾😆

replace geese with dijon and you’re right lol

That too. People act like it’s a good thing mainstream hip hop is dying but it’s not a coincidence that the discourse in forums is also dying at the same time.

i have made more of effort this year for sure to check out new artists from up comers cause i don’t wanna be that guy which thinks music back in my day was better

i tried to tell my friends about esdee/mink/feng awhile ago and they honestly did not care for it at all which is shame because their music i think is fairly unique

i hope so guy is actually talented and i love his album but i do worry he might be one trick pony

fakemink seems more likely to be one to have real crossover for me atm

I got Dijon at tier below personally I respect his work and what he brings but yea

bro said geese

I like how he got a lil swaggy twang to his vowels but it’s still buoyantly of his regional accent and how smooth his flows are and the dynamics of his beats

Haven’t heard a song I fully enjoy yet but I fw all that fr

i have a lot of feelings about this, about the industry, about black music but all i really say rn is wow

It’s over. No more young stars, and the top guys pretty much on their final years

Insane post tbh
