There are but 99% of them pander to social media which divided fanbases into little niches to the point you can ignore said superstar

Compared to something like MTV back then where they played the same music videos 24/7 to the point said stars became superstars and widely known to the public cuz of that “inescapability” factor

Nelly was a superstar

Why just so yall can complain about "oversaturation"?

why do people harp on this so consistently is a better question, who gives a s*** man

Sabrina carpenter exists hello 😘

This tbg

No… just no.

Good point.

Even Eminem, 50 Cent, and DMX who made some of the grimiest music were good at making jams that could be enjoyed by the masses.

But I feel like the decentralization of media has resulted in artists literally not knowing how to create songs with mass appeal anymore. Adults past a certain age ain't checking for Tik Tok or Youtube for the latest songs. MTV, BET, and VH1 stopped premiering new songs and music videos years ago. People are watching TV as a whole less than before. Radios stick with megahits from the past to stay on the safe side unless your song is super popping. Magazines don't sell like they used to. Social media has replaced televised press runs. Tik Tok has replaced promo tours and touring in clubs until you find out what clicks with people.

Times have changed drastically and even many of the bigger stars today don't compare to C/B list stars from the past.

This especially impacts rap because the "streets" don't support music enough to keep rappers' careers afloat. That's why most Drill rappers end up flaming out outside of chaotic lives.

Does she really have that it factor? I’ll watch an interview of hers tonight and see

Outside of Kenny Mason & Doechii, none of these artists would’ve been superstars, even in Early 2010s they wouldn’t

Not a superstar

How cool would it be if he did a 60s or 40s album

Pipe down

Noone with the word Tumor in their name will have a superstar career

I would say Kendrick, Drake and even Kanye (yeah still) are all superstars. S*** Travis Scott too and maaaaaybe Future & Tyler.

Taylor Swift too

Unless you mean new artists. I think Mk.gee can honestly reach superstar status.

Part of the problem is social media, streaming platforms and the era of the short attention span. There’s also just so many different music and artists out right now that niche groups of people can get a taste of whatever they like.

op wym we have rio

Nelly was a better rapper lol

Someone that was at a live show said (altho still enjoyed it) that bro has the least charisma ever

You cant redeem yourself from what he did

he would be still bigger than every rapper now. which is what this thread is about

Real.

He would have been!

Trab is. he causing earthquakes in Italy

I hope Teezo becomes a superstar
