we also forget constatnly that the big three all died
X, Pop Smoke, and Juice Wrld all were supposed to be the next gen
No disrespect to the dead, but come on lol.
I didnt view any of those artists in the same light as a Jay, Ye, Drake, Wayne, Nas, Em, etc.

Sabrina Carpenter dont play on same league that Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, but people says she's a A1 pop act
2pac and Notorious Big are on another league that these cats that you put here

this has to be a ktt user
It’s time for bro to admit he’s just a stan account
Raps biggest market share was in 2017. Obviously they took us part of the way but they weren’t the ones who pushed rap into the stratospheric everpresence it had in 2017
yeah 2017-2018 was peak imo. 2022 saw a huge dip in believe

They were never considered the new “big three”
Streaming ruined the perception of rap. It wasn't some huge boom in 2016/17. It was just the last gasp of Kanye's prime + Drake and Kendrick at their commercial peaks. But the mainstream was already in decline by then. It was just the good old days.
If streaming was around for the peaks of Eminem/50/Kanye/Wayne/BIG/Pac/Snoop etc... it would be in better perspective. 2000s was the boom. Everybody was selling records and going platinum back then--from the top guys to the bottom, and you had to go out and physically buy albums lol

S*** is a little weird but that’s a convo for another day
Idk too many top rap artist geting charged with ricos, dead , facing life , pedo rumors.
We just all experienced a decade of gang violence with drill rap.
Female rap took over and it’s prostitution music.
We’re tired ..
well we lived fast died young and left a nice looking corpse what could be better b****?
Wtf
doesnt this guy have a brain tumor
Nowdays, we have so many options of entertainment, like Netflix, Tiktok, Streams, Videogames, Podcasts and s***.
The attention economy is f***ing the whole industry, even Hollywood
Plus, after the pandemy, a lot of people dont go outside like back in the day, so less artists make money in industry with tour and shows
Artists nowdays compete with Kai Centat for attention
Pop and another genres are on downfall too, I dont even know a 1 song of Sabrina Carpenter, she is nothing compared to Katy Perry or Lady Gaga
Thats the main point

Yall keep equating the mainstream with rap and it’s really shows how consumed you are by the corporate entrapment of culture
