we grew up with them always around and competing, now that it’s gone there’s a void a lot of us feel left out from it i guess

And consequently, it led to lower quality of music and homogenization of styles

they act like they personally benefit when their favourite rapper's albums sell a lot of copies

selling out really is popular with this generation its crazy

Didn't NBA youngboy release like 20 albums over a few years

We do need superstars though

you have to be mentally ill or deeply flawed to wanna be that famous.

yes what does that have to do with anything

Because the only people that get made famous now don’t really have that level of talent

There’s super skilled and unique artists out there that could be doing the stuff Travis, Drake, Kendrick, Kanye etc do but the kids just want Yeat type s***

He was hustling out of his mind no?

I never understood the multi-year breaks, like, do you run Apple on the side or what are you so damn busy with that you can't give folks at least an album a year?

you only half read what op said. YB has too many legal issues to actually have a commercial presence outside the actual music like trav.

So no he can’t compete in that bracket because his persona isn’t that big outside the music

Even then it’s very disingenuous to pretend YB has hit songs like Travis over 20 albums

Name like 5 rn that are memorable lol

Coming up with new ideas, New sounds and Touring takes a lot of time

There’s so much more but not giving artists time to get better and be creative is lame as f*** and is a huge problem in the industry rn

for one, they could record on tour.

this is already a thing

Well how bout you start making music and drop a good album every year since it’s easy to do?

I know people do, hopefully more people do.

never said it was easy, but, they should do it. Asking musicians to make music is not all that wild I don't think.

It's easy in this era to live a more than comfortable life being an average mainstream rapper.

Fr, this s*** had me weak
