Crybaby, Hellboy ?

Cherry picking aside it’s a measure of cultural cachet. Sales aren’t the only thing that matter but when you’re an artist that makes contemporary music and collab with other mainstream artists then yes it shows that you missed the mark

Mom said dinner will be done in 10

Come over When You’re Sober Pt 1?

Lil Pump self-titled?

Lol

Both Hellboy and Crybaby were better

SoundCloud era hate is crazy, ushered in a whole new generation that we probably wont see again

Now musicians exist primarily on Tik Tok and IG Reels

SoundCloud was a gem before the inevitable corporate take over of everything we love

op not stating their own metrics of what mainstream success is

every era is chalk full of people that were one hit wonders, hot for a year or two, and lost their mainstream appeal. realistiically speaking it's probably 10 acts per era, and 10 is being generous that can maintain years of mainstream appeal

Remember when people used to swear to god them niggas were better than Nas and Jay

Honestly alot them soundcloud dudes were too trash for any real longevity or they just straight up died

Xanarchy?

Alot of bangers in that era

Nobody thought this

okay i missed WLR but the other two are cult classics / niche at best and i enjoy them

oh yeah i enjoy 17 more but ? had all the hits and anthems

lil peep is goated but no one talking about those tapes other than hardcore fans at this point

Die Lit ain’t niche

maaaaybe come over when you are sober counts but thats stretching it

I mean the only reason why he wouldn’t be in that lane is because he crossed over but not only did he hit the scene and blow up off soundcloud his whole aesthetic was soundcloud rapper to the t lol

who said i put any lil peep tape as a classic
no one outside of cartis fanbase mentions die lit as a classic come on

Hair Metal Era of rap for better or worse lol

People like lucki carti kodak uzi (at his peak) 21 will be remembered fondly

Everyone else lol
