Pop was very poppy. His biggest track is essentially an r&b pop hit. That’s what makes him great. Men like him, women love him.

Y'all say any nigga that died was next biggest thing. Nipsey was next up too despite making music since I was in middle school.

I never said this about nipsey. X probably was going to be huge but I never found him that special. Same for juice

I don’t think we have ever seen an era when the entire next class of leaders have been taken out.

King Von, Juice, XXX and Pop.

Obviously I got love for Mac and Nip but they weren’t “new school.”

The only thing that comes close is loosing big, pac and big l.

enough

edit : guess you gotta define modern

mac miller

Legend.

Yeah I always thought people reacted to his death like he was an X or Juice Wrld artist he had a great and long career so no disrespect but he wasn't going to be a superstar. It made people check his stuff out and appreciate it tho so

I agree

He had enough of an output in the 2010s. Pop was barely starting out. Massive loss

mac was just beginning to drop his best music ever

Man Chicago had a crazy lineup. It’s so sad we lost a few guys.

La’capone
King Von
Juice world
Durk
G Herbo

Imagine all the great music we are missing. They would have all collaborated like crazy.

I think the same could be said for Juice Wrld but Pop was great to. The real test is if an artist can evolve and adapt with the times and we never got to see that for either we're going to be talking about "what could have been" for years. Remember Drake is only Drake level because he is constantly evolving as an artist

Man NY hip hop sucks right now. I honestly don’t get how they don’t have a clear leader. So many people are from NY.

Pop absolutely had superstar appeal. More so than X and juice, who really appealed mainly to the teen crowd

I can’t disagree. We don’t REALLY know. I’m only going off of what his trajectory was looking like

First mainstream rapper in years to really excite me

Most ny drill rappers don’t care to being like pop or tryna be a star/mainstream

They jus wanna make opp sliding music and do they dances

Big faxxx

Forever pop

pretty much. irreplaceable. sad stuff

bum level activity. swear i hate thieves

I will, I got homies who big on dude but I usually dont like to start listening to an artist after they pass. I still feel like A Boogie can go a lil further tho, he just need another hit

True. Chicago finally reaching the levels of success they should have been at. Keef wasnt ready at the time maturity wise and Durk hadn't reached this level of music yet. Plus all the dudes with star potential kept dying or doing dumb s*** like Rondo and Cdai. I just hope Durk and Polo stay the f*** out the city so they avoid the bullshit. Herbo already almost got caught up before

Comparing dead artists leaves a bad taste in my mouth idk about you guys lol
