Soundclick rap >

2nd easily

also i feel like u misplaced some artists in that timeline cus ski is def not third wave and u missing fauni and uno

69 became famous off youtube/insta not soundcloud

third

facts but third comes close

awful records

ski mask started in the second wave but blew up during the third wave so I associate him more with that

this but the second wave was good too

also i think awful records is more like second wave

first

second

Current sc wave of summrs and autumn type niggas are bringing it back to the forefront tbh

??

awful records is not "first wave"

Father could be but not awful as a whole , I remember he was pickin steam with that wrist track in like 2011-2012

Edit: 2014

Second-Third wave

First wave wasnt even soundcloud rap imo, i didn’t see the term being thrown around until uzi/yachty era...

Anyway in terms of quality it’s:

Second wave > third wave > first wave > fourth wave
