RYM is fire
Just don‘t look into RnB ratings and u straight
Also f***ed if you‘re a Drake stan lol

How u gonna blame the fans for the genre's falloff lmaoooo

Wish niggas would rally behind Kenny and send bro to the moon. Bro easily the coldest young nigga out rn

Because there are artists pushing the boundaries that ppl here will just discard or ignore

most of the rap ratings on there are completely f***ed lol

niggas got Tha Carter III not bolded and at a 3.30, they had TA13OO as one of the greatest trap albums of all time on there

niggas out of their damned minds on there to say the very least

I‘m not that enthusiastic about Weezy either but I get what u mean lol there‘s definitely a recency bias there too

i was surprised to see Whole Lotta Red wasn’t bolded on there, they have Die Lit at a 3.70 and bolded instead

im assuming they didn’t like Carti’s punk/goth aesthetic on a rap album

something something don't be too hard on the new kids something something they're just young and just having fun you hater hahaha something something crine ur dusty

now they're getting older and we're seeing what a coddled generation has accomplished and birthed

Topaz is right there bruh lol

they even got the new Swans record f***ing bolded at a 3.7 over leaving meaning which is honestly easily better

the ratings are bullshit

The community back then was 95% rock elitists and they hated Wayne so u see their imprint there still lol

I think consolidation of wealth has a lot to do with this as well. Labels are giving established artists like Drake half a billion when in the past that same amount of money might have been spread around to up and comers. Putting it all in a proven commodity seems less risky to a capitalist.
From the consumer side, with concert tickets being 5-6x as expensive as they were just a few years ago, people are more likely to just go see a few really popular artists they already like as opposed to seeing smaller shows on a more frequent basis.

Die Lit his magnum opus imo

this is better than this s***

Which is wild cause the most the rising artists arent even expensive + do a better show.

Drake telling niggas “I wanna hear YOU sing it” meanwhile I was in a moshpit at a Paris Texas show.

Yeah u right but they are definitely way better than other sites like AOTY or Metacritic

Have to check their new album out

it’s definitely a lot more consistent and tighter production/atmosphere wise

WLR was really damaged by its length, s*** could’ve been so much shorter

This why when niggas post my avi as a “joke” I just laugh it off cause you can’t give me 9 hip hop albums that were better than Sundial this year

it’s decent, wasn’t too impressed with it tbh but it was nice

there’s something to be said about the value of being impressive

all of the greats of the 2010s are impressive in various ways

nobody could write a hook like drake
nobody could tell a story like kendrick
nobody had more charisma than nicki minaj
nobody could deliver a punchline like j cole
nobody was cooler than asap rocky
nobody could build a world like childish gambino
nobody could turn the club up like future
nobody was more imaginative than young thug
nobody had more energy and color than tyler
nobody sounded bigger and more layered than travis

think about the rappers that are touted as the new superstars. do they actually impress you in any way? do they stand out above their peers? does it feel like they’re creating their own world?

if i ask you about the best rapper bar for bar, you’ll prolly say a really dope underground guy that is unsigned and doesn’t really cater to the masses. in 2011, we didn’t feel like that, and that is why hip hop is suffering. skill and being impressive is a standard that’s only upheld for the little guy.

I appreciate ur post but this reads like something off reddit or YT lol

If they aint open the door for Smi, they not opening it for Kenny.

The city got its priorities f***ed up turning into “drill city #424” instead of fostering talent like him and Deante. Only other dope “new” guy who aint really new is Nudy.

you should check out swavay if you haven’t already, i think he’s dope. works with the same producer as kenny and nudy a lot

Lil Tony up next from Atlanta
