If you read the initial message, I said that it's pretty hard to get there when Rap Media/The Industry/The Internet are in shambles. It takes longer now..and some of the people that were getting really close died in towards the end of the last decade..that was a BIG setback. Pop Smoke, X, Juice Wrld, Lil Peep. They wouldve been critical pieces in how rap wouldve have matured in alternative spaces.

Kanye Drake Jay etc..all were able to benefit from those things (media, radio, tv exsposure, authority at the record labels) with a way more concentrated market.

We are in different times. It takes longer. It takes built in communities that are mature and understand and champion rap.

So when people s*** on the underground rappers it makes no sense. They are the ones that will be on those stages and have the best chances of being huge. (Ken Carson, Nine Vicious, Destroy Lonely, Che, etc)

People just want them to be/look like traditional rap artists. That is dead.

and then it's like..Lil Baby, Playboi Carti, NBA YoungBoy, and Lil Uzi exist...do these artists just mean nothing? are these not huge names produced in the last decade?

Do we seriously think there wont be more stars in rap? lol

You THINK it’s lower effort but that’s simply not true and the portrayal as such is just because you don’t LIKE it

Artists like Ken Carson/Destroy Lonely could get replaced by AI and barely any value would be lost tbh lol, he's not wrong

Even subject matter aside, they're not even trying to put an interesting spin on their flows/delivery/rhyme schemes etc which is a crucial part of rap music
Even production is pretty repetitive and simply not interesting enough to carry full albums of that bs

In the mainstream {or whatever you want to call the type of s*** that makes it to Kurrco and Akademiks consistently/the post mainstream}

dense linear lyricism that continues a thought for more than a bar or two without the majority of the vocals being melodic is absolutely dying and the fact that niggas about to argue with me that rap doesnt have to be that, means rap is already dead. GGs

Trying to portray everyone in a generation as stupid does not correlate to whether the music some of the ppl in said generation make is high effort or not what a dumb argument
