Is It Safe To Say Atlanta’s Hip Hop Run Is Over?

[3rd Ward Swangin]

How many time's is this thread give be made? Y'all boy's really hate Atlanta, seem like y'all have an inferiority complex to them dude's. All the lames showing their true biased talking it been over or this artist make better music or this region about to blow blah blah

Pop and Fivio got more views than him. Brooklyn drill scene got a lot of artists and it’s fanbase stretches to London. I would say this wave is bigger. Also Pop and Fivi are both signed now and got major co-signs from Travis Scott, Meek Mill, Drake.

Sada Baby Spotify numbers are nowhere near them. His biggest market Chicago and Pop get 5x as many listens there than he does.

I don’t know why but the street Detroit street artists don’t really pop outside of Tee and he fizzled out. The three biggest rappers out there last 10 years is Big Sean, Eminem, Danny Brown.

Yeah I got no idea what's popping in London...just speaking on what I've noticed personally in the cities I frequent enough and been out recently to have a feel for what's bubbling (STL, Chi, naptown, ATL, Dallas)...Spotify numbers ain’t quite quantifying what’s popping on a street level lol...better way is to check what’s getting played in the strip clubs or getting booked (and actually drawing crowds) to shows in hood clubs...Brooklyn Drill pretty much don’t exist here on that level , like it’ll maybe eventually catch on but it’s not gonna be some organic street fed thing...it’s gonna have to be some top-down label driven type thing...but right now a Sada or Key Glock or even some complete unknown (to me at least lol) like Bankroll Freddie is outdrawing Pop Smoke... I’m sure it’s different in the northeast

Pop will be in Chicago soon (March 21st) let’s see how that go

He got a song out with Calboy shyts lit

Somebody like Key Glock is hotter in that market shyt he just dropped an album that did 29K he been out for a min too. At this point Pop above Sada for sure just off every metric. He’s going mainstream now he was on a H.E.R. song and on a Travis Scott song. Fashion shows with Virgil and all that.

Everyone's had their little run..
Atlanta's will come to an end soon, just as everyone else's did. Not out of spite, but that's just life.

Atl will have to combat complacency, tastes changing over time and the fact their rappers are not interesting or diverse..it will catch up to them.

Actually wouldn’t mind catching a show at all, his shyt sounds like it’d translate performance wise and be lit as fukk with the right crowd

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Atlanta’s run has been so long that there’s other places sounding like them, so I can’t even tell

Since when was making it mainstream mean your run was over? Sure, they don't have as many new up and coming artists that will get big like they did 5 - 7 years ago, but even new artists like Roddy straight up said they listed to and were influenced by thug.

Detroit shyt is making no big noise. I never heard shyt from them at any club I been to or party. At least you heard 69 and Cardi shyt when they were dropping music. So at best, I'd just say New York has the best chance of putting out music that sounds like it comes from their own region while "making a movement". Calboy was hot for a minute though but that Chicago drill movement wave has been dead.

His videos get millions of views and yet I hardly hear many people outside of the Northeast bump his music. If they do they usually follow drill music religiously like some cats I know. And I'm a Sheff G fan btw.

That's old and not a good example. Sheff not getting millions of views now like Fivi or pop.

Carti

Bruh, carti is not up and coming. This nikka has been on for years wtf.

Sada has a song with 60 million views on youtube, Pop ain't there yet.

Wishful thinking.

this is what happens when you have zero connection to the youth, don't go to clubs, don't fukk with young chicks, and don't know what's going on.

Nobody cares about Detroit rap. A lot of cities are popping on varying levels but the pulse of rap remains in Atlanta.

I'm 20 years old, and people my age listen to Detroit rap but Im from Chicago so we always listened to Detroit rap

Detroit got the best underground movement going right now. Memphis and Florida is creeping up too.

The Brooklyn drill gonna be big because the sound is different than anything right now which is going to birth new rappers to ride the wave and influence established artists (Drake and Tory Lanezs).

The Atlanta movement kinda been stagnant for awhile imo. I was fukking with Bankroll heavy because he was bringing that old-school trap sound back before he got killed.

RHQ still dropping fire but he don't have that major backing anymore and Trouble been hit or miss for me lately. Earthgang is probably the most interesting thing coming outta Atlanta and have star potential but they ain't on that drip wave which is trendy.

Me personally, I wanna see Houston make a comeback.
