Ain't it crazy how artists can have no talent at all & be a star these days?

[Rev]

This has been happening since the beginning of the entertainment industry, really

 

[PhonZhi]

Not really once you learn about "media propaganda" and the power/influence of the media itself over the masses.

Not crazy at all.

i feel like you should name names otherwise the thread is kinda vague stomachlines

I'll get it started by naming 21 savage and lil yachty

You can tell they never rapped in public before they started releasing albums

Trindad James was like that too
He had just started rhyming like a few months or some shyt before he got signed

Guys like that would've gotten their demo tapes tossed in the back in the day

First person I thought of was French Montana

French has plenty of talent

If you think metaphors and multis are talent then you’re a dummy

Explain how 21 & Yachty lack talent?

Exactly
Them nikkas making music that would be parodies for a skit on In Living Color back in the day

YoU think complicated bars equal talent?

Talent is making hot music. French is great at making big record songs and one of the best hook makers of this generation

Making catchy hooks requires more talent than metaphors that dorks think are clever

This. Purists think that their opinions dictate the climate of hip hop. If youre a lyrical, miracle type dude and are more about lyrics, cool. However, a song can have fire lyrics and still be a bad song. Many rappers out here can spit their asses off and cant make a hot song to save their lives. Usually due to boring hooks and a bad ear for beats. Idgaf if someone is trash on the mic, if they make songs that hit, them shyts hit

It ain't like a bar for talent these days; it's like anything goes and nothing is wack
What happened to standards, bruhs and bruhettes?

I sorta blame it on the Internet/social media for making it easier for anyone to make it. Talent or not.

 

[JayStarwind]

Whosoever is popping is going to get the shine. Like most have said, this has been going on since the beginning of time. Social media just enhanced it.

With that being said, an act like Lil Pump doesn't deserve half of the attention/acclaim that he receives.
