Free YoungBoyClassic album isn’t boomer s***. It can still elevate an artist. Look at how WLR elevated Carti’s profile and status in music

Still a classic that elevated the artist. It’s just that the new artists don’t drop any classics because like you said a lot of them are bad

RealArtists born in the early 2000s are still in their early 20s or younger. Many iconic rappers like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and even Drake didn’t achieve "GOAT" status until their late 20s or 30s.
Give it time. artists like Baby Keem (born 2000) or Ice Spice (born 2000) are already gaining decent enough critical and commercial momentum.The idea of a “staple” artist is changing, too. Streaming democratizes access, so fame is more fragmented but no less significant. An artist like Central Cee (born 1998) or GloRilla (born 1999) may not have Drake’s omnipresence, but they dominate Gen Z playlists and redefine what mainstream success looks like. Not comparing those folks at all, but hyper consumption changes a lot of s*** up.
We’re all still trying to figure out what the modern definition of staple even is, and the music industry is structurally and culturally unrecognizable from the 2010s
Baby Keem and Ice Spice are irrelevant now. Central Cee and Glorilla are not redefining anything.

Jan 27·3 repliesNot even just 2000s but legit none born after the year 1996 have any crossover motion besides like a few. And we’re just now seeing people born in the late 90s cross over in pop, like within the last two years tops. It’s a gen z-born crossover musical drought period outside of a literal handful of names. Needs to be studied

When an album with classic quality drops today, it still gets lauded above run of the mill albums.

That’s three humans, out of the millions that aspire to be rappers there aren’t certainly only three to have been born that could have done it. Thats why I don’t understand this constant response from people about X/Pop Smoke/Juice on this subject
It says more about the generation than the death of three people who we weren’t even 100% sure had all the makings of being that to the degree of DMX in 1998, Em in 1999, 50 in 2003, Kanye in 2004, Wayne in 2005, Drake in 2009, Kendrick in 2012

In the US you had different states have different sounds.

I would say there’s still regionality. NY/Jersey has a distinct sound, Detroit/Flint, Louisiana, ATL, West coast, etc. you can still tell where someone is from based on their music

I’ll take your word for it but in the early 00s you would have artists who would be legends in only there state
