Ice Spice is easily Top 3 female right now. Takes the craft seriously and she didn't even make the list. Trash.

Pretty bad list. I don't know why Kodak Black got left off. That's the biggest :why: to me.

They used that title as clickbait. The last question they had was the answer, the next gen of hip hop is the weakest it has ever been and it’s not even close
That’s definitely a clickbait headline. The biggest problem is that the younger (mainstream) stars they do have don’t truly have the juice like that and were pushed too fast without actually being developed. I’ll give props to Glorilla and Sexyy Redd just cause they actually do have bangers and hits, thought the latter is a completely terrible performer. Ice Spice was never supposed to be in the position she was in in the first place. People finally became honest about her music and have turned away in droves. Meg has hits and high visibility, but she turns 30 soon so I’m not really counting her. Also notice I haven’t listened a single male star or burgeoning star :mjlol: Travis Scott is 33, Uzi is 29, Doja Dat is 28 but people don’t REALLY put her in the rap category. Who are the next wave of real stars and not just TikTok stars, Destroy Lonely and Lil Tecca :laff:????

This year the women have been doing great, I agree.

I think Monaleo is the best female rapper under 30. She popular now but in a year or two I think she'll be up there with Latto.
