Aug 13, 2023Kendrick let his nuts hang tho & gave folks a real him hop moment

insertcoolnamehereLil bit of this but who would ever say a rapper got them intimidated?
Rap politics along with some of the most sensitive era of rappers we ever had along with the swift changing of the guard where making “art” wasnt making as much a profit as just dishing out songs and songs and songs to a wide spread audience (e.g. drake) lead folks to say f*** it.
Why should I try to compete or even make an effort to innovate when I can just game this new streaming system that’s lowered how much I make from my own music?
Why should I try to compete and make something compelling when tiktok and gen z lingo’s made it so that anything outside of the nihilistic norm of topics lead to people saying it’s “boring” or “scares the hoes” or “too deep”
Why should I try to compete or even try when all my heroes are selling their catalogs?
Interesting perspective
I wonder if things will improve or just get worse from here.
I feel like for things to get better, the general public is gonna have to start wanting and demanding better.
It’s said somewhat often, but it’s true; the rappers are just giving the market what it appears to want.

Skinn FoleyImagine not knowing who Big KRIT is, especially in 2013/2014 when he debuted at #1 on the Rap Charts and #5 on the Top 200 lmao
Sucks to be 14 I guess
I know who Krit is but what did that song do for his career?

Lord QuasKendrick was already on the map at this point, but this verse sent him to a different stratosphere.
This is also an example of someone who takes the chance and runs with it becoming great. That's why I kinda lost respect for Jack Harlow on the song with Drake. He got completely washed when he should've at least try go toe-to-toe.

funny part is that was when people really started questioning if New york rap had fallen off and fallen behind cause nobody could say kendrick wasn’t better than every NY rapper out
