I'm sorry, but did PARTYNEXTDOOR already lose? Oh, that's right. His debut album isn't even out yet. In fact, Bryson Tiller's Trap Soul (cringe title) came out already. Does not having the best album out last year count as a loss? Is that what all of you Bryson Tiller stans are saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. PND's new album is still gaining hype right now and he has been the best R&B singer in The Game for how many years now? He's up against an industry plant named Bryson Tiller who just happens to have a lead in hype because he's feeding off the energy of his one song, Don't. But you know what? He still f***ing sucks. PND created this entire sound, signed to Drake's OVO Sound record label, and had some of the best songs of last year. He made Travi$ Scott listenable. Oh look at that, Pitchfork gave the new PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 an 8.4 Best New Music, while they don't even have time for Bryson Tiller. All of you Tiller stans need to stop posting how great the album is and get your own section. O wait like that would ever happen. I almost have a feeling all of the Bryson Tiller stan threads are 14 year old white kids in suburbia who only listen to Don't on Vevo or YouTube and have less than 300 songs in their iTunes library. F*** you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to stan Bryson Tiller, like I give a f***. It's so easy to spot out these threads now. Always doing stupid s*** like saying Tiller's the GOAT, or Don't is a top R&B song of all time. Why don't you guys try to be good posters? Just for once? For once in your life try to make a topic like this. That's just you Tiller stans, you're always right at getting it wrong. You are nothing.

Who remember this b**** ass nigga

crazy that this is the worst starter in gen 4 and it's still one of the best starters OAT...

Salute to all the niggas that was rooting for Raichu to win against Pikachu

Let's use this thread to end all other of these micro-threads that pop-up in this section.

Okay, so anyways who is "holding back the culture"?:

From my perspective we have on side of the spectrum on the left: the Trapheads, these are the people that really don't care about lyrics in rap music, they just want to listen to (what I call) a 'fake deep art aesthetic'.

In this type of music we have artists that basically make music that has lyrics that are nonsense. Flows that you've never heard before, and of course trap 808 style drums that are very typical for almost every new song we hear.

This "fake deep art aesthetic" is basically what people resort to when they have a "**** you attitude" against hip-hop culture. It also brings in the hypebeast crowd as well. (I'm an old dusthead so I had to look up what a hypebeast was) basically they are new era swags.

People in the center and of course right. Are pretty critical of this type of music, some of the centerists will listen to some of this music if it sounds good. The left will avoid it entirely and trash on it every chance they get.

in the center of the spectrum we have artists like Drake, Cole (yes Cole), and Kendrick.

The center is the hub for pretty much any average hip-hop listener. They care about some of the history of rap, but want the genre to progress, but aren't into the stuff that they can't understand. Alot of this rap is pretty much what everyone vibes with and there's not much else to say.

(I'd say I'm actually more of a centrist that leans a little bit right, most of ktt is filled with centrists that either lean right / left a little).

So now on the right side of the spectrum we have the more traditional listener, this is where old heads, dust heads, and people who just hate new rap pretty much stay. One side of the spectrum is also nikedon syndrome.

These people care more about what happened in the 1980's and 1990's in rap culture than any other side. The artists that are prevalent in this side are of course: eminem, Joyner Lucas, Logic, NF, Afro (the trash artist who someone played at a party and got kicked out), etc.

This is an annoying side in my opinion even though sometimes I'll agree with what they say. They come off way too angry and belligerent and will never listen to any rapper who doesn't have a "rippity rappity flippity flappity" flow.

Oftentimes this where the people who are very pretentious head to when listening to rap.

Anyways guys: what side are you on personally? Let's dish this out and end this thread with some good opinions.

empoleon is the worst by far in gen 4 imo

@SinceKumbaya and all you did was ignore all the times @crossroads listed that Akademiks has done f***shit that proves he isn't the source he claims to be. You argue day and night that he has close ties to Drake and talks to him every other day, getting information but he still hasn't said ANYTHING about this album that's held weight or water. He hasn't predicted anything Drake has done in this era, whether that was DLDT dropping or the album being pushed back to 2021 or LNCL dropping, NOTHING. Throughout, all he's done and make theories mostly based on what people on this site have said. If he had such close ties shouldn't he have been able to verify many of the theories he openly posts on his page without posting them only to be proven wrong?
Akademiks has taken theories from KTT and posted about it on his page. He has taken fan theories from Twitter and done the same. He posted that fan art and said "soon come" or whatever he said because he knows how dumb some of you are when it comes to biting on anything he says and you people did just that. The thread of all of you being excited for potential new Drake music based on that fan art still exists. Y'all were pointing to that fan art as another proof of him being a Drake source because y'all couldn't find the picture anywhere else online, only for it to be proven that he stole the picture off someone else's page, posted it without credit or consent and tried to pass it off as something it clearly wasn't.

I already know you're going to jump in here and ignore all the things I've pointed to and defend Akademiks like a mindless stan, but what @crossroads and I are trying to say about him is that:
He isn't the Drake source YOU claim he is because he's posted too many stupid fan theories and done too many fake clout chasing s*** to be.
He exaggerates his relationship with Drake to validate the things he says he gets from Drake so people like YOU believe him when he says he got info from him. This man claims that Drake "hit him up" every other day on his Twitch stream and if you really believe Drake is hitting up Akademiks multiple times a week (since that seems to be how frequently his threads pop up in here) telling him details of when he will release music and saying that s*** to ONLY Akademiks when he could be telling his whole fanbase that, you are very stupid. Sorry.
You are so desperate for information on when Drake's album/new Drake music will be dropping that despite getting an update from Drake himself only a few days ago, you're biting on what Akademiks is saying about the new timeline for when the album will drop. When will y'all learn than none of these niggas know anything about Drake's moves? Notice how all the celebs/verified accounts who had the most to say about Drake definitely dropping in January have gone quiet since he posted that he wasn't? Akademiks magically couldn't say anything about what announcement Drake would make or that the album would be pushed back but right after Drake announces that it won't be dropping in January, he magically gets a new update saying it'll be dropping in February-April because "Drake hit him up and told him so." If at this point you don't have the common sense to notice his patterns and how he tends to word things to make it seem like he knows what he's saying when he really doesn't, then that's on you. Just don't get mad when people call him out for being a clout chaser or get angry that other people don't believe the things he says. Akademiks isn't the only "media outlet" that talks to Drake or has asked him about his album/when it's dropping, yet he's the only one who has gone out of his way to position himself as an exclusive source like Drake appointed him to be that.
Lastly, we are all Drake fans here. We all want new music from him and we'd all like to know when said music would be coming but biting on what random people or Akademiks says about that is never the way to go. Drake has proven no one knows his plans by all the delays we've gotten in this era and with all the moves he's made. Whenever people have come out to claim they know when he's dropping, he's never dropped at that point or he's come out to announce a new date. At the end of the day, everyone will believe what they want to believe. This has never really been about trying to get you to stop believing Akademiks but really just trying to point out his pattern of behavior and let everyone make a choice for themselves
