americanaHow much money do you think republic gave pop smoke
These board room people would never f*** up an investment like that again
Death stimulus does a lot to an artist, but what matters is how much material was produced, and Pop Smoke had his vault cleared within two posthumous albums
XXX and Lil Peep still have unreleased material

But I come to the same conclusion as Americana, which is that for the amount of material produced and how tragically volatile the trap music scene is in terms of early death, it isn’t a good investment by major labels anymore
Also that the audiences move on quickly so the music doesn’t have long staying power, most don’t build up dedicated fanbases like other rappers have done so

Sep 12, 2023It’s a combination of a lot of things including the points that OP made, but overall I think it’s more just become so watered down I hear half these dudes and it sounds like it could be made by ChatGPT. It’s just time for a change, and I’d argue that because this is probably the longest stretch ever where a new generation has not taken the reigns from the previous generation (due to deaths, lack of talent, or whatever) it’s just putting us in this weird purgatory

glockglockglockmy purely anecdotal dumb guy take is the labels saw engagement numbers (like the real numbers) from when Tekashi was on his run, the numbers were insane because what Tekashi did had everyone so locked in (+ NBA youngboy who also does numbers) and they thought that meant street rappers would have these kids hooked for a long long time so they pushed their whole rap division into this direction
but in reality Tekashi was a 1 of 1 moment and its not actually a good long term investment due to both the unpredictability of the artists actual real lives and the danger they are in and an overestimation of how much/long kids would actually follow street rappers since so many of them are mediocre artists

Tekashi used street politics as a gimmick and sold records with it

Yeah I'm sure they're mad they signed someone whose posthumous music went #1. One of the most streamed rap albums on Spotify ever. Still 25 million monthly years after his death.
I'm sure that's the one they regret.
