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

[MegaTronBomb!]

You'll find that a lot of these dudes with large Youtube views, can't make that translate into anything else.... no radio spins, features with known artists... shows... NOTHING.

Oh shyt

Must be indian buddy. Bruh is annoying.

idk what he is but he got a french name right now lol. like i posted earlier i don't be getting all invested in these posters to remember their posting style or their background

Im old and like what i like now but i try to stay in touch with new rappers but i fw Griselda heavy and i never cared about streams or none of that i just follow the music but im not a elitist

 

[SnowflakesByTheOZ]

It would depend on who you deem as "popular and relevant".

 

[TEKBEATZ]

These new rappers

Some things could also come down to the audience and their streaming preferences.

I like Benny and didn’t even know what he looked like until after maybe a year or so of listening to him. I don’t really watch video. Just Apple Music for the most part.

some people use YouTube as their dedicated music app.

Double : Benny is popular and relevant and so is NBA Youngboy. They're relevant and popular to two different demos though. I think most of the coli are between early 30's to 40's, most 30-40 year olds aren't looking for the next 16 year old up and coming act. I don't think it's a coli thing more so than it is just the general case

Yeah, the Coli is definitely out of touch.

 

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

Yea The coli is great for a lot of things.

But a lot of people here are close minded and biased

 

[MIC Que]

Yea.

Been hip to Glokknine since like 2018 tbh.

What do you mean nothing lol? If they have views and streams they have something. Anybody with consistent millions of views can do shows too. Not nationwide tours, but they can get booked regionally at least and make a little chunk from streams and shows. They get features too. They don’t need radio play.

Their popularity isn’t comparable though. Benny’s most viewed song on YT has 4.6 mil and hardly any of his songs have even over 1 mil. Youngboy’s is like 132 mil.

Benny is at 1.6 mil monthly on Spotify. Youngboy is at 14.9 mil.

I think current day rap is complete trash. Garbage. No wonder it's been left in the dust by pop acts...lol

They can't fund the lifestyle they want to live...
