Exactly!

That makes me wonder tbh @Nikedufflebag name 5 popular street rappers thats popping in ur opinion right now that you see get hate

You mean to tell me Nettspend isn’t actually saving the genre

I said hood niggas AND street rappers.

And on his last album he made it a point to showcase his shady park crips affiliation on the cover. So I’d say he’s at the very least street adjacent

Adjacent isn't street nigga I'm street adjacent technically I wouldn't call my self a street nigga though

Like YoungBoy you prolly had one but Gunna?

tbh not surprised based on low low quality of music from hip hop recently

Don't get all the fuss about this. It used to be hip hop was over represented in streaming then other genre fans started streaming too. And so what anyways?

Rock music is popping again?

Guessing its probably legacy acts. There's a trend of older songs being more streamed than newer ones.

Let it die in the mainstream, Hip hop always gonna be around

Once it’s not what “looks cool” to hypebeast white kids we’ll stop getting all these uncreative losers that get hyped up for everything except the music

Either way the point is I said hood rappers as well as street rappers. Basically rappers that don’t have that artsy/pretentious vibe to them get seen as lesser artists on here

Again tho it feels like you're taking arguments from outside of this and putting it in the thread.

Like what does that have to do with that posters point? Just seems like you're carrying other things that really don't add up.

It all goes back to him saying ice spice is a breath of fresh air. I’m deconstructing why that’s his opinion based on s*** I’ve seen him say.

You’re mistaken, I’ve never s*** on hood niggas or street rappers. The only one who maybe I was negative about was YB but that’s because I just don’t like his music

Ice Spice is still a breath of fresh air regardless

ugly god and amine were gonna be the next drake and lil wayne

This always been a dumb take imo because:

1. There are street dudes that are “artsy”

2. Why wouldn’t you want an artist to be artsy? They are literally a f***ing artist

Sorry guys that put more effort into their sound, Aesthetic, Videos etc. get more artistic credit but it kinda uh makes sense right?

Exactly, why are artists that try to be more artistic considered a bad thing to some people?

That lowering of the bar for street rappers is why rap had died down also because street rappers use to try and be artsy

90s street rappers use to drop movies and s*** like Master P was as street as possible and still put alot of artistic effort everything.

YB made some of the best music in rap from 2017-22 and he was stamped pretty much everywhere you looked but you f***s wouldn’t even respect him until he renegaded Tyler

Yall care about cute little cover arts and s*** like that sometimes even more than the music
