You’re just getting older. Younger gen view the new rappers as cool. When you start to hit mid 20s and older you’re not supposed to find a Ken Carson “cool” even if you enjoy his music. But listeners that are in middle school and high school probably view him as being cool and something to aspire to
Yeah its this tbh, these rapper are legitimately considered cool to these kids
Whats funny is londons saviour is better than those people’s last releases and he made it in a week at 18 lol what are we talking about
No lmao
I mean idk bruh I think it’s the opposite. I’m watching your video but I think the lame s*** is the outlier, and because it’s such an outlier it gets more attention.

I’m hit or miss on fakemink strictly on the I’m not a rapper I’m an artist bullshit he’s pulling while not being black (big pet peeve of mine) but his ability with production as a 19 year old is dumb impressive I won’t usopp.
It’s so clear that he really is a child of early SoundCloud and blog era so I can’t be mad at it

tbh that was blown way out of proportion the live he’s talking about being the best rapper he cares about rap and has pride about being a rapper but he was talking about how he also produces and makes music he wasn’t tryna talk down on rap kinda surprised how that got
spun but I get it optically
Real tbh I think he can write really well sometimes too and his hooks and flows are excellent. His style is so unique
Overall tho Hip Hop isn't a black genre or black culture anymore it's really not our thing even if we make the most of it so you can't really compare modern Hip Hop with previous Hip Hop at all.
Some of it definitely is but a lot of it is Black British Music is easily one of the best albums of the year, and I wouldn’t just whimsically bestow a claim on something I don’t believe in
it is also what people comment a lot that the biggest young stars died or got locked up and...covid happened and def changed some things
Covid solidified streaming being the only way 99% of people participate in any kind of art which made the art much worse.
I think man’s ideas of cool is too tied to hyper masculinity and what they liked when they are younger, dawg it ain’t the same era anymore lol ur parents and s*** prolly thought ur slang and all other types of stuff in this thread was lame too

10000000000000%
Shows barely matter especially when audiences who would care about the art are priced out
White culture slowly made its way into hip hop culture and you begin to see the effects, but....
There was also S*** lil Uzi and soundcloud era rappers like them that just moved in a very Lame way...

This does not look cool lol
EDIT: Also in case youre thinking, no, I'm not trying to say he looks Gay here and this is suddenly a homophobic attack on him. I'm just trying to say this look is so radically different...it just looks stupid. And Also sort of attention-seeking, which pretty much devalues the "Coolness" factor, since coolness is supposed to look like the person isnt even trying
I see you point and I think the “rockstar” s*** is super lame, but at the same time Uzi is one of the only people who has kept the tradition of the 5 Pillars going

To YOU
Also white culture is a hilarious thing to say
i agree but like the thing is different people think different stuff is cool. also we're not getting any baller music cause we're in a recession and flexing is kind of looked down upon a little ngl.
mans s*** on rappers for flexing all the time now they saying “we’re not getting baller music”
smfh
100000% not even a hot take tbh
What about that project makes it better than the simz and Dave album. Sure the production is cool but it practically stops there. Lyrically, mic presence, flows, subject matter, etc isnt really anything noteworthy
Cool is just something you are or not, and it has nothing to do with financial success or access. It’s all about to essence of you.
It’s the reason why three people like this with different swag can all look like they fit together and have uber dedicated fan bases 
Lack of regionality is a good point. More and more kids are moving from place to place during formative years due to the economy. Its something even i think about even with my own music. Its really sad and bigger than hip hop fr
