Am I bugging or does it seem like people dont even really listen to modern rap like that anymore?

[Finesse]

Like who is the hot rapper killing the streets right now?


Seems like everything is segmented into regions now. Everyone just listenin to there local scenes.


There really doesnt seem to be one centralized rap figure or movement anymore?


Been like that for a minute too. Last rappers I can really think of that had a moment like that was Da Baby and Lil Baby



But that was like half a decade ago already

If the biggest rap highlight of 2024 is a feud between a rapper who debuted in 2009 and a rapper who debuted in 2012 we are in some trouble

Outside of Kendrick and Future, it's looking real spooky for male rappers



Outside of those two, did ANY male rapper drop a notable project this year? LL, Cube and Common don't count as they are legacy acts, casuals weren't checking for those old heads albums.


On the female side Giorilla dropped an album this year, the songs with T Pain and the Gospel song was dope but IDK how it did sales wise.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Outside the regular suspects Glorilla had a great year



This guy probably dropped the best project that I’ve heard outside A LOT

Thats wtf im saying


Like who is even rapping anymore? Have labels closed down marketing departments or some shyt?



There may be something in the tea leaves here. It seems like there is no real push for new male rap star acts and its been like that for a minute.



Like I said in the OP the last time I felt a male rap star prescence fr was DaBaby's come up. He is actually the last one to give me that feeling.



BossManDlow, Boston Richey, and random Detroit/Michigan rapper number 5 aint it. I thought this year it would be a Skila Baby or OT Quanny but it aint taking off like how I thought it would.

Rod Wave and Meg The Stallion just did a nationwide arena tour as headliners.

Lil Baby just did an arena tour last year.

Most of these newer cats are incapable of making 3 fire tracks

Lyrics have been meaningless for about 15 years in hip hop

Somebody said Tyga

 

[Ziggiy]

Most new generation mainstream rap is absolute garbage.


JID is the only “new” rapper I fukk with and he’s 34.
