Joe Budden proclaims "the girl rapper wave is over": "Very few of y’all are selling records"

[Da Bull Ace]

She already tried that. Her fans weren't receptive. She said herself that she was trying something different and her fans were like what the fukk is this?

Huh? I Like It was a huge song she’ll be fine in that lane

 

[Da Bull Ace]

Joe is 50/50 talking truth and talking out his ass. This take isnt new but he wants to be one of the first to say it to say “see i was right!!”

He not wrong tho cause only 3 female rappers are really selling. The rest cant even sell more than 20k

Don't tell me tell her I told you what she said

 

[Da Bull Ace]

Don't tell me tell her I told you what she said

I dont even remember people hating on it tho, shyt went crazy soon as her album dropped

“For any artist watching this just remember you are watching a failure give their opinion on his idea of a recipe for success...a quitter give their opinion on how to achieve longevity...”

She never really tried it. She didn’t that one song with Ozuna but that was before she blew up though.

And she has a Spanish song on her debut that went diamond so it clearly worked when she did actually try.

Joe couldn't nagivate industry trends for his own fukking career... He has no chance at doing it for someone else. He's just an old man yammering nonsense along with that fat lightskin c00n he shares his platform.with

the point he’s making that everyone is missing is there was an influx of female rappers the last 3-5 years a new one was popping up everytime you turned around. that shyt is dead. its not worth the investment. because no one gives a fukk about them honestly.

be on twitter and always see shorties saying “the girlies are running rap " and didnt stream their music.

Successful male rappers have always been the gateway to female rappers breaking in. Nicki's association with Wayne is why she got the looks that have y'all praising her.

Doja don't count because she can play in other lanes. Glo doing the same thing her CEO been doing but it took him over 10 years to break into mainstream. Cardi HAD the Migos stimulus. Meg could have leaned on TX legacy but too much bad blood with people who matter in that space. The rest of these females artist don't have any male noticeable crutches to carry them through dry times because there aren't any successful male rappers in their era and the female rap space is oversaturated (which is the bigger problem).

So when the viral songs dry up, there won't be any Kanye MBDTF level features they can snatch.

Grey Hova gotta give the game a shot in the arm

Some of y’all need to realize you’re out of touch. You the homie, but the fact that girls are coming in WITHOUT men is highly celebrated among these young female listeners. None of these new artists are going to have the careers people had in the past, music has changed. But women are loving that these girls pop up, drop songs that resonate, and do it without a nikka being the first face you see all in the video.

 

[NYC Rebel]

I'm around Joe's age. Why the fukk is he speaking as if he has a pulse on today's culture?

 

[Biscayne]

As much as the Coli hates her, someone like Doja is special. She kinda has it all - looks, personality, skills (half decent singer, decent rapper) she can dance, entertain on a livestream and has a unique brand. She "gets it" musically and can make hits. A lot of dudes fukk with her

Labels need to take a risk on pushing another girl like that. Meg has some of that definitely, some nerd appeal and personality.... But in the last 2 years they pushed so many boring ass hoes with no skillset talking about the same bullshyt, looking exactly the same.

It's not the same as the Young/Lil shyt that was being pushed a few years back. A lot of those dudes were similar, but again, men and women consume differently. These new girls can't completely abandon the male consumer and expect to last

Yeah they can. They can absolutely abandon their male base. Feels like women support rap more then men do nowadays.

Idk breh but the mumble era killed it. As you mentioned there are no new superstars. We need new blood. Drake has been around forever now


Travis Scott was the only rap album in the worldwide top 10. And if I change that to USA Travis was number 7 and Metro boomin album was number 10. It just got stale like superhero movies. Perhaps people are ready for something new.

And yes Latin music has exploded while rap has been declining. You have artists in that genre setting tour records. Bad Bunny is just as big as Taylor Swift if not bigger.

Bad Bunny is bigger than Taylor Swift, where? If you completely dominate the Latin American market, then that’ll make the numbers look different

This isn’t true nowadays.
