ryuHBrother I sacrificed my soul, sanity, and well being for music going to school for and perusing it professionally for over a decade.. If that's not love idk what is. But i see where you are coming from to a certain extent though. I definitely don't love it UNCONDITIONALLY lol. If that means I'm part of the problem so be it but yeah I don't like basic poorly executed s*** man idk lol

Keep doing your thing bro and making threads that invite discussion, even if others may disagree. We one of the few that make threads on here that lead to passionate posts

John MauveI would make more threads on the s*** I enjoy but it'd prob get like 4 replies and one of those would be @fka_sebastien saying "we need to do something about OP"

I think It peaked with WLR. That was the zenith.
Oct 7, 2025A lot of incredible music dropped since those albums and they didn't create any new sounds or anything. The whole "rap game is boring, everyone sounds the same" thing is something people have been saying since the 90s which is now looked at as the golden era

GodzillaMinusOneBiggest Kendrick hit was...BDKMV? Swimming Pools? Alright?
We not gonna rewrite history and act like Kendrick was out here making smash hit records left and right lol his strength was his albums being classic and his rap being elite. The rest has caught up these last few years. Don't think its debatable
swimming pools & BDKMV were huge what are you talking about?Swimming went platinum in 8 countries. BDKMV had a JayZ remix and platinum in 7 countries.
sorry for breaking out numbers butThen there like 4 hit songs on DAMN

we must grow up from using Yeezus as our only lens of artists making creative pivots

hov and ye was still good
drakes potential was infinite
kendrick was on his way
cole was great
beyonce was entering her artistic prime
the black captialistic fantasy of the throne was still strong
ye's last album being MBDTF and yeezus was 2 years off from being teasedlike what im saying is is that thats when everyone was still good and the future was absolutely bright
I really think WTT is a perfect example of the end of rap as we knew it, a perfect send off before the inevitable crumbling of an empire

but i don't like s*** that lacks polish either so there is that
All your favorite artists had to start from lacking polished s*** tho
We had to get them mixtapes drake was imitating Phonte to get Drake today
We had to get kendrick imitating wayne to get the Kendrick today
And those old tapes back then aint have the pristine quality that their later works would have, but it aint matter cause folks were younger and more apt to buy in like “yo, these new niggas is NICE”
The ease of access has made it so easy for folks to feel instant gratification that its made new ears forget it took a WHILE for current legends to stick. Niggas write off a rapper after one bad tape (e.g. chance) when we let cole cook after b2b duds (sideline story and born midder) like, folks have gotten impatient and wont even stick around for a new artist unless they already got a cosign.
This really is the worst era to be an artist rn lol

You seem confused. What you’re describing is an upward trajectory, not a “peak”
Hip hop obviously got better for a while after 2011.
- Oct 7, 2025
I said when it happened the beef was the peak of modern hip hop.
Either move genres (r&b coming back) or start searching man idk what else to tell you.

hiphop peaked in 2014-2016, it’s too obvious. it was the center of everything with big pop hits around it

Slingshotwould have been a perfect album without that one pop hook song X or whatever its called
XO is one of my fave tracks funny enough, I usually like the pop like hooks he has

Oct 7, 2025insertcoolnamehereGrowing up is realizing people claim they love things but they really love potential not the thing that’s in front of them but what it can grow into.
Hip hop audience is very guilty of this.
This called music sxn but I can count on 2 hands the folks on this site that really LOVE music
@lonny860 @Oblivion99 @YoungNastyShawty @proper @provider @Aquilla @mdmadon

Folks like @op never realizing they themselves are part of the problem is why we never gon be free.
