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

This is one of the first signs of anchoring breh.

knowingly or unknowingly, you've set yourself into a certain time period of rap, and in your mind nothing past that exists or is of significance for you to acknowledge.


Just turn on the radio breh.

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

I’ve been of this position as well

 

[FreshAIG]

We just old

The young people are listening to new artists

The thing is, hip hop is more niche than it's ever been. So shorties liable to be listening to a bunch of artists you never heard of

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

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.

Tyler did 300k a bit less than a month ago....and Camp Flog Gnaw is arguably the biggest rap festival right now


Rod Wave sad ass is literally on an arena tour right now.

21 Savage,Vince,Killer Mike,BigX,Rod Wave,Uzi, all were commercially successful this year.

just admit you either 1) out of touch 2) don't go outside/listen to the radio 3) an old head and don't accept it

I have noticed that regionalism has kinda returned

OP always got the worst takes.....unless its some obscure female drill rapper or something he just makes threads talking about artists who debuted 20 years ago

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

Most new generation mainstream rap is absolute garbage.


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

had no idea he was that old

He a legend more so than a cat like Coolio

 

[Capitol]

I Lived long enough for Tyga to be called a legend

I thought it was bad before but now the booth is painfully out of touch
This section never surprises me

 

[Barney Rubble]

Pop Smoke was the last young artist that interested me at all. Haven't heard anyone notable since.

 

[315]

Been a pretty dope year to my ears

Mach-Hommy
Currensy
Denzel Curry
Kendrick
JPEG
Doechii
Bruiserwolf
Gibbs, to name a few, all dropped heat

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

I agree with OP


Only new artist to really catch my ear is Doechii

When are y’all gonna recognize music ain’t big as it used to be period. That’s what happens when everyone who records a track can get it out to the masses - it makes the pie smaller and more people spend time in their specially curated hole

This.

Music isn't this all encompassing medium anymore.

There's only a few legit music superstars at this point.

Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, & Kendrick.

There are no other superstars in modern music

And Rihanna hasn't made a record in what 8 years or something?

Music lost it's importance. That's why MTV, BET, & VH1 REALLY stopped playing music, not some nonsense about "music's on the YOUTUBE, now".
