it seems like nowadays the hunger to be this massive superstar that appealed to everyone is done, long forgotten are the days of 50 cent, eminem, jay who had the music on lock but had s*** going on outside the music that made them bigger.

nowawdays rappers be taking breaks for years at a time, or the music only appeals to a small audience. when it flops they blame the label, fans, claim they returning to some earlier era,etc

travis really the only one grinding with music and making a persona outside that. he just a get to the bag ass mentality. bro doesn't really stand up for anything besides a check. he keeps his head down and doesn't get into trouble. stays out the way

He lets his friends get dissed by associates constantly, started Cactus Jack as a tax write off probably which is why he doesn't really promote his artists anymore
once AW was finished he went crazy with fortnite and mcdonalds over the pandemic to keep him name relevent and most importantly solidify himself with the younger gen.

He's one of the richest rappers out, a legend within his gen, f***ed a kardashian and has one of the best selling rap albums this decade. we need more superstars like that.

We don’t need “superstars”. Like what is this site’s obsession with having superstars and a “big 3” ?

who are these rappers taking breaks for years at a time

what

Aging KTT2 userbase failing to keep up with the times

OP just listed a bunch of character flaws and acted they are admirable. I hate this site sometimes.

"bro doesn't really stand up for anything besides a check."

"He lets his friends get dissed by associates constantly, started Cactus Jack as a tax write off probably which is why he doesn't really promote his artists anymore"

"Once AW was finished he went crazy with fortnite and mcdonalds"

None of this deserves praise.
Being a snake and a corporate sellout does not deserve praise

I mean

Drake exists too

But I see your point and agree

He's talking about Carti and Uzi and rocky and Travis and Kendrick lol

The climate is different.

OP lowkey trying to smear his name lmao

Dead @ f***ing a Kardashian being proof of a hustler mentality

Do you ever agree with anything

"fucked a kardashian"

Lol la flare is gucci

Op means la flame

When y’all start being on goofy s*** ima call it out. Ignore me if that’s a problem tbh.

Because they don’t have the talent

take your own advice and ignore this thread too

wait this isnt about gucci mane?

I asked a question tho. I genuinely want to know what’s y’all obsession with superstars and big 3’s. What’s the significance?

they get to reductively discuss music in sports terms pretty much

There’s an extensive history behind the fascination of Supe om, which prevailed in most musical genres since dawn of time. Within the universe of hip-hop, this concept has gradually distilled into the shell of popularity, if you merely view it from a statistical point of view.

Having a big 3 is crucial, due to to several big forces providing a foundation for stabilizing the genre and setting a direction for most emcees to embark in. The lack of prominent figures opened a void, as the standards of musical quality or lyrical poweress no longer exists.

We just ignoring Drake? Dude's work ethic will be studied in historybooks.
