I’m a fan but looking back, this was the epitome of scaring the hoes music. And they leaned so heavy into their quirkiness with their image, and it was bold as hell but also the exact opposite of where mainstream hip hop was going.
Even without the internal conflict that led to them disbanding, could they have thrived in the current hip hop realm? Would Drake ever have looked their way? Would they be collabing with Sexyy Red and Luh Tyler? Or would they just have fizzled out after a few albums?

It was a cool moment in rap. They wouldn’t have had a big impact in the mainstream black American culture but they would’ve been big in the indie lane

I will stand by my hot? take that Ahmeer Vahn was the most talented in the group

making definitive teen music isn’t sustainable for 5+ years

that’s why artists like billie, khalid, alessia cara fizzle out

I'm listening to Junky rn

thanks for reminding me it exists

You act like there was some massive shift between 5 years ago and today. They could have started their exact run today and it would have probably turned out pretty similar

Billie just got a Golden Globe for the song she dropped for Barbie, one of the biggest movies of the year. It was the 25th most streamed song that dropped on Spotify in 2023. 97 million views on YouTube.

They dropped 8 albums in 5 years and most of their fans enjoyed most of them. Not sure how it's a failure. All groups are doomed. As evidenced by the lack of groups that ever stuck together.

You want them to do a plugnb album? Is Surf Gang more successful?

Is BH really considered scare the hoes music? Sure they could be weird at times but I knew a lot of girls who listened to them and were fans.

? billie doesn’t fit what ur saying here at all lol

That’s not a hot take

The moment he left, the dynamic got negatively impacted and never fully recovered

they just have a thing against female pop stars on here it’s funny

They met on ktt. Of course it was doomed from the start

Amazing. I am glad the majority realized that. Ty!

they fumbled the rap bag kicking out Ameer

they could have thrived if they still kept making songs like sugar or bleach but they thought they still could make hip hop and s*** didn’t feel the same anymore without Ameer

I know a lot more girls that were Brockhampton fans than guys lol

Bro WHAT are you on with the first paragraph? Women love the whole alt image, and they were pretty ahead of their time, along with Tyler and The Internet. Besides, they weren't too experimental except on Iridescence.

They fizzled out because bands/groups are hard to keep in general. Friendships, lack of interest, different ideas, contracts, touring, etc. People disband all the time.

Yeah, girls that are into that genre. They probably also like Tyler the creator, jpegmafia, and Freddie Gibbs. And not all of their music, they just had a couple songs with big scare the hoes energy

girls love them, but they were always super corny to me

If we’re gonna do this then ktt has to have a bigger conversation about the difference between scaring the hoes and scaring the art hoes. Art hoes are scared of sexyy red. Hoes are scared of bh

There wasn’t a massive shift but it felt like there was still a chance for artistry and creativity to win. But then people started drifting towards more ghetto s*** because it was raw and that’s what hip hop is

Eh, Jpeg and Freddie are different. The former is more of a fantano-crowd/hhh/ktt experimental rapper, while Freddie Gibbs was more for a blog/forum audience until he started getting Grammy noms, now he's a bit more mainstream. They lack that alt/indie image Tyler and BH have

They all have overlap, for sure, and they are lumped together, but musically and culturally outside of the internet they all fit different niches.

I don’t think Brockhampton is scaring the hoes music
