Oblivion XIt's more or less just means quality control. So gatekeeping from subpar talent or people who looked at hip hop as a get rich a scheme more than an art form.
Since radio stations/blogs/shows/labele were the only real way to get recognize on a mainstream level, gatekeepers could just simply not give those people any cosign or a platform to use
But since the physical era is done with, there's practically no real way of gatekeeping lol since music is more direct than ever.
I guess playlisting maybe
That’s exactly my point, we can b**** and moan about the quality of hip hop and how much more we need to gatekeep but none of us are suits making the decisions as to who to platform and when. It’s all just so contrived and silly at this point

it's the fault of hip hop as a collective? what?
it's just the internet and social media man. this happens to everything. outsiders come in, things become more accessible, nothing is sacred. just embrace the growth and support what you like and ignore what you don't
old heads stay being dramatic

yungkingSo basically he’s saying HipHop is failing because we didn’t gate keep it enough which he has somewhat of a point but would HipHop have gotten to the top spot if it did?
He’s specifically talking about the SoundCloud era and where we are now cause of that

One of my crowning achievements during my teenage years was walking past Ebro at the Draks vs. Lil Wayne tour and telling Ebro that he sucked to his face.

Why can no one explain what gatekeeping means when it comes to hip hop? Everyone on here is constantly talking about gate keeping hip hop but from who? How? What does that look like?
Begging someone to explain
People not using age or other s*** to strawman arguments of someone not being lyrical or skilled lol
