    idk man it feels like people stopped having faith in this place, this whole situation feels exactly like Kanye's treatment to his fans, he promises nice things, teases a bit, and then nothing happens for the next few months, and then repeat

    The happy medium would have been content that we post on here being naturally turned into articles and s*** lol

    If you try to actually do a thing that goes beyond here how do we monetize it and keep it organized without just making our own complete separate thing that requires us to do more than just come here and all sparingly contribute

    You have to turn content already on here into articles and videos but then who gets the money and inevitable fame/notoriety when it blows up

    Shame that slowly all these collection of minds will go away but maybe thats whats supposed to happen and our time here just influences and inspires us to be culture effectors in our own individual little way. Brave has some of the best industry takes I’ve seen. Insertcoolnamehere real life music/beats is crazy. Will be great to see what hadji, YNS, madeintheurl etc turn into. Lmao sadly the site will slowly die down as that happens. Time

    even if the site/community does eventually die down the fact that its been going for whats coming up on two decades is pretty crazy and unique for an internet community. pretty cool to be a part of it

    i was literally in the back of english class in high school on my phone tryna download GOOD Fridays singles off here and now im at the teachers desk in a classroom editing my own music videos and posting on here lmao

    hadji its actually crazy the activity the site has given the resources and confusing format

    seen so many social apps get millions in funding that never even reached a fraction of the activity and shutdown 2 years later

    showed site stats to some sv/bay area friends and their reactions were all insane

    truth is i need someone on the business side bc i am not good at that. either way id pay $1k month to keep this place running if i had to

    and wouldnt ever sell the site unless it was over a certain amount (8 figures. not going to be specific) and would just use half of it to fund projects from people here or someth

    side note, crazy how complex sold for $300m lol

    it'll never go mainstream and thats a good thing

    finding great music or better yet; building community appreciating great art before the masses is a beautiful thing

    where spaces like reddit fetishize / commodify black artists and their work, this space doesn't as much. u can call mf's c***on here. u can argue ab same age old hip hop s*** like ether vs takedown, would big L be bigger than biggie, and talk about weirdo experimental noise acts.

    its brilliant as is, with its small pockets of genuine bonding and curiosity. this going mainstream would only kill it.

    Can’t even begin to explain how much this site/its predecessors put me on to. You right if it randomly did just end its had an amazing run so far

    Its just also still the best candidate to take the “rap forum” into the future

    idk how lowkey progression is going but I think it could benefit a lot from a feedback/creative sxn where some involved users would spend their time bringing ideas and designs and resources for the new site

    I mean the site has a core group which is great. The problem imo is if you tweak to much to try to “improve” you run the risk of upsetting the core audience.

    DM’s and maybe group DM’s would be a great start. Brainstorm on some new sxn’s to drive better engagement would be interesting.

    But from ktt to ktt2 was a massive jump in the right direction.
