there is nothing about pop culture in 2025 that should make anyone lament that hip-hop isn't a part of it. it barely even exists at all anymore.
Pop, country, R&B
r&b long been dead commercially bud and that's my one of my favorite genres
The problem is most of the newer guys operate in niches too “weird” for the masses to adopt them early enough
& ALSO that they don’t have to appeal to the masses as much as before because they don’t necessarily “need” to like you did in the mixtape era

they can still be stable without them

I like how you think the only thing stopping OsamaSon from being a number 1 selling artist is his choice
And that he would rather struggle for authenticity when he’s signed to Atlantic Records and Rolling Loud

I know and that album debuted at 81. 50 places higher than his last. Next year, 50-60. Let’s be honest the record labels own the “underground” too. It’s just another service offering to their operations
