This a weird take, it’s literally so many good artists who ain’t really poppin. It’s never been less about popularity vs just finding your lane than it is now.

I don't think we are disagreeing.

There's a lot of good artists who aren't poppin'.
Exactly.
When they should be. But if the majority ain't saying theyre good, then they wont get the traction.

But I think it's my fault putting "popularity contest".
I think I meant more or less "group think" mentality.

It’s not about the majority saying they’re good, the market is flooded. Even young mainstream rappers have lower bar of popularity compared to the generations before. Like I said, this is literally the most diversified era of music listening ever. Group think and popularity contests defined the 00’s IMO

Did he turn muslim/ denounce gang life while he locked up?
Before going in he used to speak on how he started the bloodstone blood gang or something in New York or something like that.
He's the worst

Bruh deserve to be where he's at because he is dumb as hell

Dude is such a dummy.

it's not about "cherishing the bloods and crips".
It's about USING HIP-HOP, USING MUSIC to BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

Imagine a building full of LEGIT ENEMIES coming together for music, to have a GOOD TIME
and foster COMMUNITY.

Last time there was a bunch of different sets/sections together, Drakeo got stabbed in the neck.
(admittedly Drakeo antagonized a lot of people and brought the wrong energy).

This time everyone was ENJOYING THEMSELVES and keeping it HIP-HOP!!
