Erase Me
Yep,that song was literally a pop rock song in 2010 by a black rap artist,didn't sound urban at all. I remember when Erase Me premiered on 106 & Park. Cudi was dangerously ahead of his time

Bobby_962010 when MBDTF and Rebirth came out.
As incredible as the 1st album was, both projects lead to Pitchfork obsessed hipsters taking hip hop seriously as a genre and rappers being on that "I'm not a rapper, I'm a rockstar" stuff that appeals to people outside the genre.
I thought that was Graduation that did that? When Ye beat 50 in that sales battle we saw the industry shift towards blog/hipster rap. Like literally that fall after graduation we got the new class which included Wale and Cudi n dem

I don't think A$AP Mob/Rocky contributed to the gentrification of rap as much as people think. Polo Ground/RCA sold Rocky to the black community pretty well imo,plus Rocky had an unprecedented deal at the time. He had a straight up contract with no tricks whatsoever,3 million flat for i think,two albums,that wasn't common.
I know that had 0 to do with the discussion,i just like to throw that out there to help people understand how rare a real contract is in rap
