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

trying to spin it as "relevant" when Yatchy literally had his own Air Force 1 drop last month and DDG being a well known youtuber/streamer is crazy.

If you don't really listen to music
Talking about music when you're talking about somebody streaming video games, alright bro. I guess Joe Budden is still relevant musically too

You can tell these replies are youngins :heh: .yall ain’t really lived thru a seismic takeover by a new young artist in rap. Even moreso when it’s legit rap and not mumble rap bullshyt. When it happens, you know it, you feel it. It controls everything his songs plural are everywhere and can’t be duplicated

That’s what the game is missing now. An artist may have the biggest song, but it’s easily replaceable. Ie Bossman D Low. Kendirck obviously has that moment now, but he’s not new

I’d argue the last time it happened was when Meek mill first came out :jbhmm: Other than that, individual songs blow but not grassroots male rappers

You trying to hard breh.

Had you just taken the clues from the thread, and the fact you attempted to use XXL freshman covers ( that disproved your point)... You don't really listen to more than a handful of artists and are probably out of touch.

Out of the 70 artists, 10 of them still drop music- my point stands. I listen to hundreds of musicians monthly most of them have never been on an XXL cover

Females rappers are holding it down right now on a national level. Also you're right it's become a regional or even city thing now for niggs. Do we still locals who run up a million through local clubs "chitlin circuit" rappers? Because that's the play right now. Bossman D Low is the biggest rapper that hasn't "blown up" yet

I don't know if its just a West Coast thing but I always see people bring Tyler the Creator up in these convos, hear about him a lot but I never actually know anyone thats a fan of his like that

Almost every rapper that came out from 2016~2022 has fell off, thats also kind of nuts.


Kodak Black definitely applies to this statement…


Dude fell off after 2020.

In the grand scheme of things, nikkas stay getting shot or locked up in rap nowadays and it’s the younger crowd.


It doesn’t help that the younger crowd is doped up on those hard drugs.

Juice Wrld was popping pills like bubbles

Kodak lookin like a fiend

Enchanting died of fett

RHQ was out here being a J

Tyler comes off as a cornball, he’s one of those guys that makes headphone music. His music was for backpackers who always wore Vans and black jeans trying to look fashionable.

His music isn’t to be played out loud like Lil B though.


Honestly, I liked listening to Domo Genesis over Tyler.

He didn’t sound like a squeaky, whining fakkit .

Out of these 70 artists only like 10 still drop music

21 Savage, Kodak, Uzi Vert lasted the test of time…


Latto too. I have no issue bumping her out of these new female rappers except for Sexyy Red.

Most of them still make music.

The ones who don't are either:
  • Dead (XXX, PnB)
  • In jail (Pooh Sheistey, Blueface)
  • Vultures (Lil dikky)
  • Rubi Rose (they seriously degraded the value of a Freshmen cover placement with her inclusion)

Pooh gonna be good when he comes home… Blueface not so much

Lets face it, rap is played the fukk out on the mainstream level. People are tired of the flossing and fake shyt and cannot reach it.

In a era where cats are hungry and drugged up, these new cats are wild.


It’s easier to be a YouTuber nowadays

Kids love him

My 12 daughter friends say him and rod wave are the best rappers
