Ai Youngboy 2 was the top album on Apple Music for a month straight
Thoughts?
some of his fans can obviously afford apple music then huh? he makes okay music but lets stop pretending he't the next wayne or kendrick please.
Okay realistically tho in terms of ranking most to least likely
Roddy Rich: obviously he’s hot rn so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, has a catchy voice. Time will tell if he’s just a one hit wonder tho
NBA: he’s just below the mainstream threshold he needs to break through. Like he’s mainstream but you don’t hear white people playing him like that at events
Boogie: No. he had his chance when Drowning blew up his time has came and went. There’s newer talent that can take his spot.
Roddy to boring. He’s going to take a lower route than what DaBaby did in 2019. OP obviously can’t be serious lol but YB is the only one I see that can be huge this decade
Kenny, Cole, and Drake for real might be the last lyrical dudes to reach that level of star status fam
That will mean sales wise rap will die out tho
Cause none of the non lyrical dudes gon do over 200k fw
Maybe Roddy but NBA Youngboy
Roddy the only one on that list
Maybe DaBaby if he can keep it up and not make the same songs over and over with the same flow
Honestly Xxx had the mass appeal and was the only one from his gen
Xxx wasnt more lyrical than kodak baby (both) or yb
Xxx wasnt more lyrical than kodak baby (both) or yb
They all trash lyrically
But i was speaking from a pop perspective. Xxx was the only one who had the potential to come close to Cole, Kendrick, Drake numbers wise cause he was more versatile than the guys you just named
