Are we all here completely out of touch with who is popular and relevant?

[Dusty Bake Activate]

What got me thinking the other day was I made a thread about Glokknine going to jail. A bunch of replies were your typical “who the fukk is that?” booth posts.

Now the only reason I even know who Glokknine is is because he dissed another young artist that I do listen to some (Foolio) for no reason. But I noticed on YT Glokknine has a song with 35 mil views and another with 22 mil views.

Now compare that with someone I listen to a lot and is considered a gawd on the coli, Benny the Butcher. Benny’s most popular song on YT has only 4.6 mil views.

Maybe that’s just YT though.

So I compared their spotify monthly listens. Much closer but Glokknine is at 1.8 mil monthly and Benny at 1.6.

I know Benny isn’t mainstream like that but I thought he had more listens than a fukking Glokknine.

Is the booth a bubble?

i know you not gonna like to read this OP but people like to talk about quality/worthy things.

i'm not gonna write home about a bologna sandwich. ruth chris though.... i might post a pic

I'll speak for myself, yes.

I found the Rap Caviar/Rap Life playlists at least semi-palatable as late as late 2019. What has happened since then... yeah a lot of this shyt has passed me by. If not for diversity of content, I at least need diversity of sound for popular music.

No thread for Juice Wrld album but pinned threads full of mfs I never heard of

Maybe but who gives a fukk? Why is it a virtue to be 'in touch' with something just because a bunch of people are? Maybe a bunch of people are into some bullshyt.

Health food junkies be 'in touch' with the cool new fast food menu items? More info, more content = more tailored to who you are and what you like. Yet you have a sect of people who are constantly looking outside themselves to see what other people are doing/listening to for no real reason. You nikkas ain't playing the stock market or anything based on any of this data.

I dont think the Coli/Sohh was ever about whats popular.

The mainstream rap fans (yes even the hood) has always liked bullshyt.

This is a music site where people who post here take things a little more serious

Nah I negged you because you are an unintelligent shyt poster who never has anything substantive to add to any conversation about music other than some catty pretentious comment to pat yourself on your back about how cool your music taste is like some white dork Company Flow fan in 1999.

Nobody said it was virtuous to be in touch. You’re just looking a reason to rant on your soapbox. Sit down.

Ok but do you have a point though? “I LiKe GoOd MuZic!”

Ok…?

The thread is about perception of what’s popular or not. You came in the thread just to say you’re cool because the music you like is better than music other people like.

You sound like some cac packpacker talking about how Aeseoprock is better than Jay Z.
