maybe if u dont listen/appreciate to anything that drops

??? That’s cause everyone hates on new s*** religiously even if it’s not that bad

Do you have any idea why that is?

this mf kodak spice only listens to billboard hot 100 music

boy if you don't get your goofy f***ing ass out this thread and go join the sales thread already

The argument was actually about notably big artists btw

So they’re valid for bringing that up cause that’s what it pertained to lol

Theory: streaming stagnated music

Streaming killed the album

i understand that

my point still remains

discussing all music and discussing whats relevant in a conversation about nobody being relevant is two different things

Fair

i listen to just about everything lol u cant put me in a box

Many reasons but streaming era and social media killed mainstream artistry , you need a hot meme or a Tik tok hit to get a bag so that’s what mainstream artists focus on

I think there’s still good albums
Even some id put up there with classics ( but would get crucified for saying)

A lot of sequencing doesn’t matter to young rap artists cause they see the most returns on individual songs and s*** them out

examples

its so depressing to see the willful ignorance

Clb a classic, if sizz were here it’d be over

free sizz

There’s definitely good albums still but if you get a good hit or two you could live off being an influencer forever , just look at 6ix9ine, 150M IG followers living his best life, artists get lazy once they get to that point, that wasn’t the case before

2017 had DAMN, Cozy tapes some Gucci tapes
2018 Kanye production albums, trav and migo collab albums

Igor too

u can pull any year out of a hat and name good s*** that dropped

i can understand why people are sick of listening to mainstream music, it has nothing to do with age or willful ignorance though

most mainstream music is f***ing horrible and all of the REALLY good music is being made by artists who are focusing on their artistry

I won’t lie

What u listed for 2022 was mostly mid

Idk if you even listed her loss initially

Y’all keep mentioning albums from artists that been with us for decades
