The Young Thug arrest ended all of that. IMO that contributed to Drake’s slowdown too. Thats probably PARTIALLY why Kendrick felt like he had the clear shot to go at Drake. That entire incestuous posse-cut era.

We’re gonna look back on that era and see what happened. Takeoff’s death and the YSL trial ended ATL’s immediate run. IDK where things are going forward.
dont you get embarrassed? dont you get tired of dudes mocking you every day? do you REALLY think you are changing minds with your 'mission'? i dont

you probably caused multiple people to stay home on election day just by the sheer cringe factors of your posts. you make me not wanna vote.

im ignoring you now man enough is enough. get a fukkin life dude

if anything id say people are mike dean fans and dont know it. you can throw any trash rapper on a mike dean beat and it'll work

edit: yeah mike dean is all over the credits. speaking of credits.. look at the credits for sicko mode by itself. this dude might be less of a writer than eazy was, good lord

I never understood it, but I'm also in my late 30s

Those of us that age and older had the privilege of growing up with multiple very different and distinct musical genres existing

Travis is a hodge podge of different aesthetics intended to cash in on youth angst. Everything is sort of rap influenced now and he cherrypicks from different aesthetics to stand out. Except he stands for nothing, and his extended family is a billionaire club.

His ethos has none of the traits of the groups he pays tribute to and wears on his shirts. It's hollow and while it plays up to Gen Z disillusionment, it's unspecific and really feels like distilled "counter culture" made in a lab. He's made music that I enjoy, but I can't sit down and listen to a whole project from him

People was calling Kanye a genius before he even put out a album breh

As far as your gripe with the song credits , who gives a fukk

If 1 dude made it or 1000 - the goal is to make a slap

I find it funny dudes complain about shyt like this but will glorify sampling records which feature in itself feature 6 or 7 musicians, producers, and song writers

I’m a Travis fan but everything Travis does is juiced with well thought out marketing and PR. Nothing he does feels like it’s actually being carried and consumed by the culture. Utopia felt like a dud without the Carti feature, Astroworld was carried by Sicko Mode.

He takes songs from other artist, he’s carried by features, He’s a bundle merchant. Kardashians, Nike, McDonald’s, WWE, everything he does is propped up by marketing and PR

He’s the first artist that I’ve seen bundle his way to a #1 song that fell completely off the charts the next week :dead:

Travis is a superstar but it doesn’t feel like he’s a superstar because of his music performance
You said all that about Travis but stan Drake ? :laff:

That weirdo nikka always sucked ass at rapping.

It’s all production, vibes, and aesthetic with a ton of $ and mass marketing.

Him and Quavo are some of the laziest, most basic rappers shyt is mailed in especially nowadays.

*Trav ain't overrated it's just that white boys carry him. Same thing as Carti.

*Fans of these guys are ppl who would of been 2000 Eminem fans

*You wouldn't say Em is overrated it's just that his numbers get a boost from the fan base.

*Culturally none of the guys doin shyt. Shoot nikkas like Drakeo and Nipsey Hussle mean more to the culture than these dudes


*Its Middle America rap
