Now you're reaching. This is just ridiculous. Michael freaking Jackson is the most popular artist of all time. He actually wrote his lyrics and composed his music. He's even known as the "God of Dance" in some Asian countries. Not to mention he wrote a few songs for other artists as well.
There's way more examples who talented artist being among the best selling and most awarded artists ever too. Just because they're popular or pop or rap doesn't make them bad or talentless or not real music.

Obviously standards used to be very high

And there are several currently talented and very popular artists who are very talented.
It would be a true phenomenon to get someone who has no talent to be very popular

I agree. My favorite artist is one. But it seems like talent sometimes makes artists less available to the masses. Like they can’t be related to
I was feelin it until I saw it came from a Chris Brown avy.
Also, why the f*** is Taylor Swift your prime example? KTT stans a lot of lame ass s*** like Carti, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Taylor praised even once on KTT lmfao. And literally all I’ve seen on here about the new album is that it’s diet Lana Del Rey. She been getting chewed up.
Y’all say this then praise Gunna and Lil Baby who have been dropping the same album for the past 3 years
if you liked white American pop music maybe
she got like 2-3 songs that are pretty good idk I’m not afraid to admit it

This ain't middle school, like what you like

Gunna disrespek won’t be tolerated.
Wunna (Deluxe) OUT NOW!
Okay but a lot of rappers that put out the same cookie cutter material get acclaim on here. What makes them any different than major pop stars?
Gunna > Taylor Swift

You raise a good point I was just thinking if so, why do you commend artists who don’t bring anything special to the table?
Taylor Swift is the perfect example: below average voice, consistent but unoriginal lyrics and melodies, and an awful live performer. But she is one of the biggest artists of all time.
Do you find comfort in her vanilla appearance? Do you prefer her writing because it allows you to perpetuate your lack of introspection? Or do you simply like her for her fame because you want to be a part of something SO much bigger than yourself?
This puzzles me each and every day as I see the charts filled with the same names. Regardless of the song’s quality you’ll likely see Roddy Rich, Drake, Meg, etc. The same phenomenon applies to Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, Ed Sheeran and more. Meanwhile there are artists putting out fantastic music that hardly sees the light of day.
Are you fans of music or are you fans of celebrity?
Bro that’s so crazy, I was thinking about what you & @op said and
