Minks production is cool but his voice is just so grating. Simz is the full package

Pop Smoke was really the one. My
friend was teaching in New York told me the kids were devastated when he heard the news

Can confirm it was devastating

Disliking his voice is fair lol but simz is A. Tbh not that interesting as a writer B. Entire package only on paper and her style isn’t that unique and kinda falls apart without inflo C. Her latest project sound wise is very just not interesting and boring imo, mink has his whole own style of genuinely innovative unique music

She can rap tho she has some good projects but

we’re in the post-grunge era of hiphop rn

It’s because of how homogeneous culture has become.

Kids aren’t cool anymore because they’re the product of the instagram explore page and TikTok for you page. No matter where you’re from or what you do you more or less are exposed to the same s*** and as a result you see very few artists with any real individuality.

Is yo pink dungeon the same one as it's always been or did u paint a newer bathroom pink as well

Been meaning to ask u bout that 💀

definition of what's cool has changed immeeeeeeensely for these gen alpha jits fam. will be watching the rant in a bit tho

Last point I will make and then I’m off it but we also don’t have the OG’s and legends anointing the up and comers anymore. Now it’s just shameless wave riding (even if that’s always been the game it’s far more parasitic now)

I’m only gonna reference him because he’s an easy target at the moment but it’s kind insane that in 4 months fakemink went from performing during Drake’s wireless show to hanging out with Frank ocean to popping out at the antagonist tour and ALLEGEDLY linking with Ye. That s*** while it seems cool is more disgusting from the standpoint that everyone is trying to get some juice for this young kid.

People used to get “knighted”. I lowkey blame Kanye for throwing post Malone on tlop when he only had white iverson out just for clout. TBH TLOP is when a lot of s*** when from musing and creative uplifting to just trying to find what’s hot because creatively “im spent” but that’s another thread for another day

@insertcoolnamehere

Fakemink’s sity is someone working hard then getting a bunch of co signs the year he blew up that’s nothing new i feel lol

@Melz is not gonna like this OP

so true....the game so weak

none of those uk dudes cooler or wavier than xaviersobased to me tho ngl

but yea i’ve basically been a british person for the past like 2-3 years

being cool was way easier pre internet

cortis out now

am i right?? @user_offlineforeve

I wish I liked Xavier music cause he seem like a super cool dude

frrrrr

it seems like a troll half the time and then he pops out with like individual good songs

past a certain age, in this day & age idk how you’re supposed to view rappers as cool, is the music there, is the ethos interesting, are the things I care about

Pretty sure this thread wouldn’t be made if the music was not ass and the artist wasn’t deadly anti social
On top of that

How don’t you like his sgp type s*** ? Listen to left hand

It’s the regional sounds dying that simple s*** killed this genre fr

Why is this always said for some trash man?

Why can't it be for like...ambient Tibetan monk chanting or something

needing to be perceived as nonchalant or mysterious without any real lived experience or the underlying swag thats needed is the problem lol. probably a result of our online society putting more emphasis on having a more individualized, curated expression, rise of micro-niches, isolation, etc.
