I think people stopped taking gang culture seriously and as a result the music popularity declined too
How much money do you think republic gave pop smoke
These board room people would never f*** up an investment like that again
whatever they invested in him, they immediately made it back and then some
he released four projects on the label and amassed billions upon billions of streams
I think it's been declining cause niggas been making the same f***in albums with a bunch of the same f***in producers and the same f***in features for the past 6-8 years.
Just a wild thought though.

They don't care if artists die. Trap not streaming so they stopped signing.

I mentioned that in my post lol
Like I said, street politics is killing trap more because the new stars are either getting killed or locked up.

That's kinda always been a thing though honestly. A rapper dies or gets locked up the world just keeps spinning, even if they had hype around them as cold as it sounds.

Yeah but it’s happening way too frequently, even to established acts like Takeoff.
And when you had rappers like Pop Smoke come up to shake the game, and get killed, it’s hard for others to fill that void.

I think to support @op point I think people are just slowly getting tired of that cycle.
Not tired enough to do anything about it but tired enough to go “hey, this aint worth investing money into.” Gucci Mane had to lose 75% of his label to the jail cell before signing up a white boy. Bruh tryna get the
Need Charles hamilton backpack rap to make a come back

Ever since 2016 Trap has dominated not just in rap but in music in general with pop stars like Ariana Grande getting a #1 hit off a trap sounding song.
But now people are starting to move away from trap music and even labels are backing away from it.
While yes, the quality of music in rap tanked in this new trap era, one thing that people don’t mention often is how street politics led to its downfall.
The streets have been involved in rap since the mid-late 80s but the difference was the rapper was usually the dude who wasn’t in the streets and just knew how to rap and had his homies in the streets fund his career.
Fast forward to now, you got rappers flexing the gang they rep, the guns they got and how many oops they’re beefing with. Not to mention the amount of talent we lost through murder and jail time because of this.
As a result of this, HipHop is suffering commercially by proxy cuz people are tired of seeing a new artist come and go whether through street s*** or not delivering musically.
TLDR: Trap is killing rap because of street s***
best advice i recommend for all of you young ktt2 members since trap is boring now
