i rizz so many huzz in my #metaglasses

This mentality of saying f*** the rap ethos of 20 years ago (which the genre is still in the shadow of btw: Jeezy Gucci Kanye Wayne etc) in exchange for the rap ethos since 2016 instead is why no rapper can captivate a new audience

No matter how hard mfs want to dance around it, lyrics with effort and cohesive projects that stand the test of time are fundamentally what creates lasting moments in rap. Uzi and Carti are slowly going cold because of this principle after dominating the last ten years of rap ethos lol

Music is peak unc s***, since I turned 21 I mostly listen to podcasts unless im at the club

so what careers are officially dead now because of AI?

crazy how AI retired and came back in a different form

Few random thoughts

Most of the new best or most interesting artists are self prod

Greezy gang and the 6ix pop sound up next

Slayr will be the next biggest rap superstar that takes over with pop/edm crossover

Nate sib gonna bring back male pop in a way not not seen since beiber

Niiiiiiiiiceeee, 😏

Hmmm😳🫣

there is an abundance of music throughout hundreds of years in history

you can still be curious enough to listen to music that isn't from the current moment

if you don't want to listen to new music, you can always listen to the same music on repeat without getting tired of it

There’s a lot of exciting and interesting stuff coming up but you can tell by the engagement on posts and threads that most are stuck in the same circle of artist they listened to 5-10 years ago

Almost like a new artist needs a co-sign from somebody of that era for ppl to recognize. It’s weird but eh I get it to a point I guess

The young/new rappers cares more about fashion than the music, they care about trying to turn a big streamers audience into their fans.

Well yeah they’re catering to an illiterate generation.

killed em, damn

Niggas will say this and they’re just telling you to accept distorted bass unintelligible cosplay of keef thug carti from a decade ago

lmao

Well there’s also the likes of armand hammer, navy blue, etc. who are beautiful, poetic writers that ppl won’t engage with because they’re not putting it in pop songs and label marketing paradigms i ain’t a one trick pony man

I like my rap game without a hard divide between niggas who can rap and make intricate cohesive projects and the people with the most visibility making vapid bullshit lol

Word to The Cool Graduation Blueprint GKMC and other mainstream cohesive classic rap albums and the switch around 2015-2017 when this line was drawn where all the good s*** in rap was stuffed down some reddit rabbit hole

Encouraging this divide is validating people like Lyor Cohen when he stops Lupe’s original Lasers from coming out until Lupe turns it into generic pop NBA 2k rap music

Get with the times buddy because that s*** doesn’t exist anymore

And no it doesn’t validate lyor cohen just cuz u said so

We’re needing a tavern break

…hence this over arching discourse of something being wrong with rap coming from so many different people loudly since 2023

you’re almost there lol

seeing your edit: it absolutely does, thats the exact mentality he has, that mainstream rap fans cant digest cohesive intricate projects. Niggas loving mumble distortion rap so much that they agree with Lyor Cohen is crazy

talk about mexikodro single handedly restoring the feeling

The multiple albums and singles released weekly

We can always talk about Drake vs Kendrick
