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

[spliz]

There’s a reason you’re discussing rap online, you are not the average consumer. Men didnt support female rap the way y’all making it out to be. Most heard them casually through features, label compilations and singles (back when we all had to tune into the same songs on the radio or video station), the majority of men were not blasting hard core, ill na na, or da baddest bytch albums in their car or discman, the girls were

Facts

Ice Spice is signed to Lucian Grange's son. That's a level of push and industry support that is unparalleled. His dad runs most of the music industry.

She didn't just blow up haphazardly lol

It's completely unrealistic to expect new bytches to be in Dunkin commercials with Ben Affleck and cheesing it up at the Super Bowl with Taylor and Blake Lively off some viral songs on Tiktok. She was basically teleported to A-list from obscurity within a year

She just got lucky and it's to the point she doesn't even need to do music anymore not to mention she's in a genre that doesn't have staying power.

If I'm mistaken didn't Rah Digga say the same and got push back?

Did she? I’m not exactly sure.

Remy had a street feel...

It felt like she was a gangsta.

She looked the type to have a razor under her tongue and go to sleep in her times judging by her rhymes.

But those I mentioned ain’t like today’s female MC’s. They all are better. Forgot to add Eve to that mix too and there’s others I forgot about.

I’ll never understand how we got to a place where Joe budden of all people is allowed to discuss sales

 

[KidJSoul]

The deaths of pop smoke, xxx, juice world didn't help the matter

 

[bl2k8]

They actually made music that men wanted to listen to and bump in the whip. And we also purchased their music.

I don’t think there’s any difference between us buying then vs now, only difference is we probably listened to their music in passing a lot more because they had more subject matter and were better spitters

he rise to fame is almost unparalleled. her team should be in the hall of fame.

he's not wrong, but its only half the story. its over for a lot of these dudes too, specifically ny drill artists. 2020 half azz artistry-ratchet and rob seemingly has an expiration date. and thank goodness.

There’s like ten

what? There are so many female rappers right now.

I’m convinced y’all really don’t go outside or have black wives

How many of these songs were top 20 billboard hits?


And i’d never marry ANY woman who listened to even half of that shyt

 

[O.Red]

Cardi will be just fine, she's fluent in Spanish and can tap into the "me no Black" lane.

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?

Don’t have to be a billboard top 20 to be making noise for the audience it targets. FNF peaked at 42 and we all know that was one of the songs of 2022. These girls are targeting BW, and like a lot of r&b artists (which mostly is a black female audience these days), there’s a cap in how high you go unless your hit crosses over

 

[OnlyOneBoss]

Crazy to say this after Flo Milli and Glo dropped two of the hottest songs out rn

Why nikkas in here lying acting like they were buying and riding around to Kim and Foxy albums?
