I mean ain’t nobody drop s*** 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think a lot of the top guys are realizing they gotta switch it up because everyone has lowkey been on the same wave since 2018 so they are taking their time to deliver something special. Just like how games take long as f*** to develop these days. You’ll have an off year where nothing comes out then boom the next year is flooded with AAA titles.

That’s my wishful thinking anyway

Right Scarring The Hoes does not deserve an 86 that’s like the average meta score for Yeezus

Lowkey agree

Their negativity bias towards rap has sullied the genres reputation for quality

A lot of the albums they pan are really good and a lot of the ones they praise are really mid

People say critics “don’t matter” but they affect public opinion and shift cultural narratives a lot more than people realize

That goes for Melon too

Probably the most out of touch thing I’ve read

I been saying rappers need to start proofreading their s*** again

Haven't really listened to hip since her loss tbh

S*** is rock and roll status now

i agree it was dumbed down lyrically but trap production in the 2010s >>>> 2000s
the technology got better, the producers got more creative

Mixes got better too 2000s trap sounds terrible

Depends on who you're referring to. I think Lex Luger's beats are still immaculate compared to the s*** Pierre and Wheezy be doing tbh

In 1999 Eminem debuted...so we are getting another Eminem type artist debut next year?

Also I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again people gotta give this street s***/ratchet s*** a f***ing rest man

No one takes that s*** seriously anymore s*** is a meme

people laugh at it but when it comes to really listening to it majority of people are over that s***

It’s possible to be a rapper and not make ignorant ass music

That s*** doesn’t represent who we are anymore

Unless he’s being produced by like a Metro, gets cosigned by heavy hitters in the game (Kendrick, Drake, Cole and Future) and can rap his ass off while being extremely creative then no lmao

i'd take metro boomin over shawty redd and them anyday

Rap fans still consider Drake, Kendrick and Cole the big 3. They were the 09 class lmao rap game been

You really are out of tough , Pop really had the london audience in his palm, in America he had a large female fanbase and the streets and suburban kids rocked with him. Stop viewing things from your perception, you have the internet you can actually see different perspectives daily if you get out of the algorithm

every critic thread is 'who cares about pitchfork/who cares about this cac' yet all this time they were the ones pulling the strings?

Easy to be an event when the only way to get an album was through the store.

CDs dying hurt us.

Ehhhhhh, nah. And im a kendrick FAN.

When we say events, i mean like TLOP (think that was the last time an album dropping felt like an event and i dont mean that cause it literally was lol)

that's not nice

Depends on what type of “underground” we talkin bout

The reality is a lot of these rappers are not that talented or unique

Yall motherfuckers really wanna gentrify that term man lol.

Nothing about them rAgE kids is underground when the whole mainstream jacking em off lol.

Because the last time it happened, it spawned one of the greatest eras ever seen in the genre

Hip hop desperately needs a reset because it trash rn

Hip Hop was much more fun before it was super commercial (pre-Eminem). I'm an "old head" and remember those days. It won't die out just like Rock hasn't died out, artists will hopefully start focusing on making core fans happy instead of casuals
