The saga continues

"Carti still has his mysterious white fanbase separate from hip-hop" y'all really be saying anything on this website

bear1boss is super hard he just needs to work with the right producers

implying rap is just for a select few or goons

these type of kids pay for the studio time of our fav rappers through their stupidity

win win

what do you think the modern young hip-hop fan looked like 20 years ago

what else can suburban residents call rap they cant relate to

Completely different because styles were different and hip hop wasn’t broadly digested by middle class/ upper class kids

Doesn’t matter. Those kids you posted probably listen to nothing but Uzi, Drake, carti, thug, keef, Travis, Rocky, etc

It pretty much died again with the deaths of Pop and Von.

Bobby might bring it back, who knows?

It’s always been like this though what is anyone talking about??? This argument makes 0 sense, there are so many sounds popular at any one time in internet/streaming era, ‘street rap’ has always been chart dominating in this era and even before

and damn near all them rappers a this point have a fanbase that isn't exclusive to rap at this point.

Listening to a rapper =/= rap fan

There does seem to be a surge in street rap but I don't think it'll last much longer. Rappers like pooh sheisty, durk, etc have no longevity and will be irrelevant in the next 5 years.

Listening to a rapper != being a rap fan but if all or 90% of what you listen to is rap then you’re a rap fan

Those kids you posted are listening to all rap or mostly all rap. I know cause I went to school w niggas like that

street rap has always been as big as it is lol it’s just that internet rap picked up wayyyyy more in 2014-17

WLR started out with Carti saying HOMICIDE

He ain’t on that SoundCloud s*** right now

Street rappers have always been the most popular rap. How does Durk not have longevity when he’s been around for a decade at this point and is having a second run

Wtf people have been saying this about Durk since like 2011-13

Pop rap is actually the most popular subgenre of hiphop and has been since like 2014/15. And Durk has mostly been irrelevant for those ten years.

That’s 6 years out of the entire history of rap and that didn’t even last long. There was a period from like 15-17 where street rap wasn’t the most popular but that’s ended

these type of people existed for 20+ years just with different clothing

Not sure how that’s what you concluded I was implying, I wasn’t.

And they were the minority 20 years ago. Today they make up a larger portion of who’s digesting the music.

not if the music isnt similar to traditional rap. Anyone can be called a rapper atp.

Definitely not
