Also

We let finance majors and nepobabies run an industry of the arts

We need DJ’s and local collectives starting labels again

also inflation its harder to cosplay being a self made rich underground rapper when cost of living is higher than a decade ago, they probably make minimum wage salary

11 likes lmao

a lot of y'all niggas became the ppl y'all used to hate and mock on (oldheads)

just dismissive of anything new that comes out s*** is sad

Because that was the last underground era with its own personality and they were a more defined group. Music wasn’t as saturated so there wasnt that many competitors in the underground eating into these guys’ streams

Now there are 1.3 billion artists that are considered “underground” and they all sound, behave, and look the same and they competing with each other

He a Hispanic dude with dreads, he a lil confused. He’ll wake up soon lmfao

weiland

lack of catchy songwriting

people forget that besides being super sexy and cool Carti and Uzi have a knack for melodies

also i like that lazer dim guy but that project he dropped got really repetitive when you got further into it imo

no way bro is 25

It takes a certain level of natural charisma to pull off “she suck on the d*** like a tick” in multiple songs and every time have it sound more fire than the last

But really he was def a unique artist even back then. He might’ve taken inspiration from others which he still does but his music was never soulless like Destory Lonely’s is

They’re many factors to this but the main ones are;

• The Pandemic: the pandemic kind slowed down artists from breaking out due to lockdowns which means lack of exposure outside of the internet

• Too Many Allegations: A lot of these new gen underground SC rappers have done so much sus s*** the past 4-5 years that people are not gonna even give them a chance based on that

• No Personality: 90% of these sc rappers lack personality and only copy and paste what Carti is doing or act antisocial on camera

• No Crossover Appeal: This tied to the 3rd point but a lot of these rappers lack crossover appeal, Yeat is the only one from the new gen to pop off big but even then he’s sort of in this “NBA Youngboy” realm where he is not acknowledged by the industry outside of streaming metrics

Didn't Ken Carson just perform at Coachella

U just a Stan bro

Calling this man soulless

I thought he was at least 30 tbh

Lucian suppressing anything he don’t got a hand in

Here go some underground sauce for y’all though

This is the argument lil pump fans were using in 2017

They were right except they were defending someone who just made bad music

Bro posted LORD BINGO

They weren’t right because people hating on lil pump likely enjoyed many new artists that came after him

I guess for me it would’ve been money longer. But honestly I never really knew about an underground like that at that time.
