Let me guess, your precious artsy rap is what’s so special and deserve all the praise huh?
How’d u know 😳
Not gonna use Don Toliver as an example because Life Of A Don is a good album.
him saying “only me YG Kendrick holdin it down for LA rn” dont sit right w me at all lol

also isnt Tyler from LA? Why isnt he in these conversations
You need to drop consistently when youre still on the come up. Once you get to the top, your projects will have to hold more weight so you can take your time because you're more established.
Travis dropped every year from 2013-2018, now he doesn't have to drop every year anymore because he's established. Roddy disappeared for too long
also isnt Tyler from LA? Why isnt he in these conversations
he is but tbh his overall brand since he came out never screamed “WEST COAST”
his music way more digestible to the rest of countrys palette compared 2 the other rappers that came from LA
Album was coo.. just cuz dude don't have a viral-tiktok-meme hit, doesnt mean he fell off.. People weird af
these artists act like they're Drake whilst putting in 1/10th of the work he did, s***s weird
Niggas act like Drake put 2 albums a year since he came out or something.
also isnt Tyler from LA? Why isnt he in these conversations
He’s from Hawthorne.
But also, Tyler always never really represented the Los Angeles culture. This other artist base their whole aesthetic around LA subcultures
It’s crazy how short the culture‘a attention span is now. Dude had a megahit like two years ago and a killer verse on a Kanye album a few months ago, along with several other big features.
How the f*** has he fallen off?
Maybe he just a good to decent artist and not a superstar level artist that all it may be.
Not everyone is a superstar and that’s okay
aint roddy from CALI
nobody from cali f***s with this nigga
everybody from ATL f*** with carti and thug
roddy just not cool. copy n paste type of rapper
this is the key, all rappers that can take breaks like this all have their home market and region on LOCK or have a cult fan base. all of LAs major artists have this problem but Kendrick. Drakeo and Nip (RIP to both of these legends 🙏🏾) both were way hotter in LA without even having a mega hit like the box and that reflects in their numbers, engagement, and reception.
This is already a bad look
He’s playing into the critics and the memes hands
It’s a wrap
Same thing uzi did…
Boy you aint no Nipsey fan why you lyin
But yeah besides Nipsey core no one was really bumpin that til he died. Racks in the Middle I felt was making waves before he even died tbh
Victory lap was a definitely a moment in the culture before he died
Rap Niggas was pretty big i feel
he honestly was in a tough spot tho
he had one of the last pre covid smash singles and when rockstar was hot he probably should've dropped an album then but people might've took it as overexposure
but if late at night came out around like valentines day of last year and the album in like april he would've been straight
Sounds like he was in a good spot then
Niggas act like Drake put 2 albums a year since he came out or something.
nah just that even 14 years into Drake's career he's still putting more music out than guys like Roddy. Same with guys like JID, a lot of these guys act like they deserve to be huge whilst not really putting the time in to collab a lot.

How the f*** has he fallen off?
less people are listening to rap + he's putting out less catchy music. same as how migos fell off
Never really got into his music but he was one of the hottest out. I really doubt he “fell off”

yea NIP had mad love in LA
same with drakeo and I didn't like this nigga that much cuz he sounded more Detroit than LA.

tyga holds more weight than roddy in LA lets be honest
