eye contactRaps biggest market share was in 2017. Obviously they took us part of the way but they weren’t the ones who pushed rap into the stratospheric everpresence it had in 2017
So I think that basically means that the new generation benefited off of the foundation that the OGs laid.
The genre was already heading to new heights regardless of who came after the OGs, but instead of continuing to push the genre forward, some of the new gen have kept it stagnant and somewhat regressive

Yachty
Carti
Uzi
Yung Thug to an extentNone of these dudes are real “superstars”
The kids love em, but that’s only because they’re relatable to the extent of not having to have “real” talent to be popular.
The kids see the way they dress and act and want to be them. The music comes secondary. It’s just part of their image.
I seriously doubt if these kids even really like Yachty/Uzi/Carti or if they go along with it because it’s “vibes”

TheFaderNo they did not
That was people like Jay, Eminem, Kanye, Wayne, Drake, Kendrick, etc.
That 2016 generation was supposed to carry the torch and take it to even higher heights but they dropped it and pissed on it
This is just not true hip hop’s commercial peak was 2017-2022 that is not Kendrick hov or Wayne’s prime lol nor were they the highest sellers of that era other than DAMN Uzi was way more significant in that era than any of them

Uzi had some actual rapping ability at least
Oct 30, 2025Combination like Fransisco Mandarin said. We need new combinations is all. “Originality” isn’t this completely unforeseen thing like the romantics suggest; it’s simply a new combination of preexisting ideas. We just need new combinations. The lack of “new” combinations is what’s unique to the current era - the combinations are simply not new

Pac, Em, Hov, DMX, Nelly, Luda, 50, Wayne, Ye, Drake, Nicki, not Cole, Kendrick, Keef, Future, Thug, Carti, even Travis’s boring ass
Provided new combinations. Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely do not

Nigga… what?
First of all, the genre doesn’t even get to that commercial prime without the efforts by Jay, Em, Kanye, Wayne, Drake, Kendrick, etc. during the years and years before that point. Do you think the world woke up one day and decided to make hip-hop the #1 genre in the world in the mid-2010s because of a Lil Uzi Vert mixtape?
Second of all, you talking about 2017. Kendrick and Uzi both dropped studio albums in 2017. Do me a favor and look up what the highest selling rap album of 2017 was. I’ll wait!
Lil Uzi was never more culturally significant than any of the guys I named at any point during his career. You sound like you started listening to rap in 2015

None of these bullshit streams ar2 coming close to the pure sales Em, Nelly, 50, DMX, Pac, Biggie and Jay had
