Also this. People aren't takin street rappers seriously. And why should they?

So many niggas got killed and locked up the last couple years. Makes the whole lifestyle look fraudulent.

This is actually pretty wild

The best hip hop was ignored by the charts all together
C’mon, dude

so you’re saying it’s like a grey area? cus he definitely not mainstream

you prolly got kilt for this take. i def. don't agree with you. i just feel he would have ventured into different styles. it's a shame cuz he passed right in the middle of his drill phase which got played out fast

no, he had timmy turner which lots of ppl acknowledge and liked since it was different from panda

wow a whole one and a half songs! You’re right he was definitely bigger than Pop Smoke man

Yup they rely on their image their wardrobe and makeup and social media antics more than their actual talent

Everything that hip-hop purists warned us about through the years has come to pass

We should’ve listened

monoculture is done it’s finished

we are never getting that unanimous classic ever again because our society simply isn’t built like that anymore

we will keep falling deeper and deeper into niche subgenres without any big stars to look at

This s*** dead it’s officially just like rock

maybe but i knew quite a few people for a while who liked his music and didn’t even know he was dead

No it wasn’t

Outkast
Hov
Kenny
Ye
Nas

Could keep going. Great hip hop is not ignored.

This, Scaring the Hoes, and Larry June & the Alchemist are literally the only rap projects that have earned repeat listens for me this year

Man what the hell, 3 out of 10 of these aren’t even rap

YUP

Da Drought 3 out now

Summarizing the genre from the esoteric position, the encapsulation of quantifiable characteristics prevail in a fashion of coexistence. Manifestations of all the qualities exists adjacently, constructing a particular hierarchy of genre prioritization. Points of intersection could resemble the downfall or uprising of particular trends, in which generalization is marked as fallacious to the entire concept.

d***, you're implying he only had one song. he had timmy and the new english mixtape, and was good enough to be part of GOOD music.

also, pop was cool and all but let's not act like his two short ass tapes or ep's meet the woo 1 and 2 were different from each other. they all had the same sound. couldn't even tell em apart.

Yup. Sad times. I hate how in this era, when an album I really love, one that ticks the boxes of what a “classic” is for me, drops, I'm almost guaranteed to see half the internet calling it mid.

When I used to get that “classic” feeling in the past, I was usually on point, and the culture and critics were on the same page.

Good

RAP IS CANCELED SIS

you’re pretty slow huh
