You niggas can’t even take the time to appreciate music fr cause you constantly compare it to older music lol. Then y’all don’t even listen to enough rappers to even judge the genre. Niggas listen to the same few heavyweights thinking their opinion mean anything.
why would no artist ever sell more records? do you realize that people have probably said almost that exact thing every decade since music was first sold?
No other decade had a million rappers and artist either competing and taking attention from each other. Drake era it was just the same 15 rappers competing. Now you have over 100 rappers competing with tik tok and YouTubers making music. Rap now also is drill and trap heavy now, which leads to the top rappers dying or getting locked up. Also heavy d*** use in the new generation, a lot of young talented rappers are overdosing. It’s impossible now for rappers to get big enough to do drake numbers.
That's because sales are way different then they were back then
Nobody did it from 10-15 before streaming took off tho
But he dropped his debut in 2015. At that point new rappers still made great projects to gain a base.
Drake - Michael
Kendrick - Prince they both the last of a dying breed
J Cole-R Kelly
🔥🔥🔥🦍
Its not 2018 anymore
Oh… you’re not a superstar if you’re not putting out an album every other month
Got it
theres really people in here saying Carti is the next superstar lol
On Tik Tok he is
you already witnessing other genres surpass Drake, what makes you think another rapper won't reach his level lmfao
To be fair, it's harder for rappers to cross over like that.
I get what you mean because no non street rappers under 25 actually want to rap without some type of future/Carti/thug/etc. influence to ever make a so far gone or section 80 foundationally strong project that lasts (put me on if I’m wrong)
But X was kinda that superstar pre death and he didn’t even really get to cook all the way
I’m sure just off the niggas he inspired there will be someone to perfect his formula, let alone what random s*** pop up in between
Catalog streams also keep rising because people are connecting less and less with new music.
old head take
HN is the best Drake project since More Life
Hasn’t had a good project since then so that’s not saying much. That being said, HN definitely worse than Scorpion
Yeah u sure cooked me by bragging on another mans money
I noticed Drake stans always brag about their father figure's net worth.
the thing is nowadays almost none of these new rappers are as articulate and as well spoken as drake and that’s why his throne is safe…

Yep definitely an upper ceiling on your fame when you sound like a strung out junkie outside of your tracks
