I think that rappers that dont study the game f***ed the game

Like, every young blood is trying be a new Playboi Carti, but they dont even study his refs, like Tech n9ne, old lil Wayne, old gucci and try create something new

I started liking rap because of 50 Cent, the I go deep on Eminem/Dr.Dre, then I dig on his refs like Rakim, KRS-One, and s***. At a point that I was listen on some Jazz and blues

People RN is just shallow, and dont go deep on culture

Respectfully I don’t think this is true. Plenty of newcomers are nerds and I’d argue there’s potential to be even more studied now bc the internet has more information than ever and it can be delivered to them in short form content instantaneously

Bro, why every new rapper try be a copy of Playboi Carti? Back in the day, everybody got his own style. New rappers are lazy and shallow today.

I talk about mainstream, cause I f*** with a lot rappers that dont pop on Billboard

“I want rappers who just started dropping music 2-3 years ago to be at the level of the greatest rappers and singers of all time, that sounds fair”

rap is 30 years in and still being expected to create legends from the golden ages of rap that we discredit what’s going on today smdh, they won

You're right.

Like I said too, I think that with time, a lot of new cats will delivery better s*** puttin more work and hours on his crafts

Tooked years to jay-z, 50 or Biggie peaked his skills

then why is the conversation and a majority of the comments in this thread always presented in a way that talks down on rap and current rappers ya’ll reinforcing narratives and talking points about the genre you would hate if “they” used it against some of your favorites

When I think about new rappers that people point as "the next", I think about the NettSpend, Osasamon, 2hollis, and s*** like that.

you need a break from the internet lmao. I posted BigXthaplug who is significantly bigger in a mainstream context than all 3 names you listed. again, you not really tapping in and then using those few examples popular on the internet to judge what’s really going on IRL then circling back and s***ting on the same genre of artist you like by not taking the time to explore lol

I fell on the trap, lmao.

Agree bro.

Its sad that we lost some names like XXXTentacion, Pop Smoke, Juice Wrld, that have the big star element and put work/time on they craft.

The new cats just need some time. I f*** with Skrilla music too.

the problem these lil niggas don’t respect hiphop ,or the niggas that came before them. niggas don’t know how to make classics because they didn’t grow up on hiphop classics.

This new generation don’t respect the craft

When I was 13 I knew classics from the 90s and 80s and respect the s*** out the genre. these niggas not real hiphop fans just looking for a quick buck because they got a little flow

your last 2 sentences is the problem and the simple fix for niggas questioning rap today lmfao

those younger huge rappers at the time died, which did affect mainstream, but as a result, it’s made niggas think that’s all the new age of rappers were and that there weren’t actually other stars or those with smaller clout like I listed who probably just performed in your city

time is what is needed and we not giving these new rappers any of it like back in the day with our favorites

it took Dot, Cole, and Drake 3-4 years to even find and reach their debut ability and sound choices for the projects and even after that, they still had to put in more work cause they still had no clout (aside from Drake)
