Touchy subject but something I have been thinking recently.
If we look at the 2020s objectively.
The biggest mainstream new act and the biggest underground new act thus far have been these guys.
Kinda of telling. We are half way into the third year of the new decade and we cannot name a new black act that has matched what these two guys are doing.
Is it setting precedence. We are already seeing the second wave hit as well
Streets still run rap so only a select few non-black artists will stay around long term.
Lmaooo the only full song i heard, from one of those artist in OP is what’s popping..
maybe
this time last decade we had
macklemore
mgk
mac miller
i think as hip hop grows that’s just what’ll happen
I don’t think so because it will naturally end up reaching an interview like Harlow had where it shows their ignorance of hip hop. A lot of hiphop listeners are big on you knowing the history if they gonna push you and is why Mac was so well respected and accepted. Cause he took the time to acknowledge, learn and incorporate the past into his current music
I like yeat but it's kinda wild how this white kid from portland blew up off cosplaying as an atlanta/young thug type of rapper
nba yb n rod wave bigger than all 4 lol

action bronson
asher roth

Chiddy Bang was a black rapper and white producer iirc but yea Asher Roth kicked off a new wave of white rappers at the time for better or worse
YoungBoy, Rod Wave (literally) and Baby are significantly bigger
love the pfp
No way people are saying babytron isn’t white
he mixed fr he like logic
there was a lot more in the 2010s
g eazy
chiddy bang
action bronson
asher roth
and a few more
those were just the first guys that came to my mind from 2012-2013
i didn’t know who g eazy was till like 2015
action bronson i might’ve recognized from acid rap but i didn’t listen to that until like 2014
still the infant stages of me getting deep into music
No way people are saying babytron isn’t white
He's literally not white
If he's white then so are Drake and Cole
YoungBoy, Rod Wave (literally) and Baby are significantly bigger
KTT just deny who the clear cut biggest of this generation are.
will we see non black rappers?
yeah
a rise? idk I think its just gonna be around the same amount
