don’t know but Connecticut got something 2 say Too much artist first blame.
When Lil Baby made the bigger picture song and was immediately met with cynicism. Same with Durk and All My Life.
Corny, pandering, racist, etc are often the adjectives consumers use when artist try to actually add substance if they did not introduce themselves to an audience that way.

I hear u. but I think its offensive and a major violation. all 3 of those guys are true students of the craft. you can tell at 1 point they all really loved music. all had the skill set.
the next generation took head to the hustle; but chose to ignore the art. detrimental IMO. Even jeezy over time was able to draw the conclusion and walk back his smoke for nas cause he saw the light.
even on here. its safe to assume we are all music nerds. we here right? there are posters on here who clown the essence of this rap shyt for whatever reason and big up the wrong things.
my man @ISO does a good job going to bat for how hip-hop is alive and the youth bringing it back. and he has valid points. but the 1 thing that is true is its everything BUT the music part.
why hasn't a rapper from CT blown up?

Not sure but that’s a valid question
I fukk with CT heavy; was curious thats all. Only breh that comes to mind is that fat Puerto Rican who rolled with French and max
Iceson Beckford
Rich In Spirit.
I blame the consumer.
Sexist but women don’t hold rappers to high standards. Thats how these TikTok meme rappers end up getting label deals and blowing up.
Another part is what you said. I like both songs but even outside those songs, Durk is someone who touches on his emotions/relationships with others in his music.
Thats the type of thing I mean, you don’t have to rap like Will Smith but be vulnerable or creative sometimes. Show some layers.

diddy did it, he was the one who made these big companies realize how commercial rap could be
The Amerikkkan Idol
The Amerikkkan Nightmare
This will always be the correct answer
Run DMC working with Aerosmith was what then? Bad Boy definitely had a aesthetic that was more "pop oriented" but its not like they were outselling everyone.

Run dmc and Aerosmith was the birth of hip hop going into the mainstream. What diddy did was make the blueprint on how to commercialize the sound and look of hip hop. Run dmc were used to sell product.adidas / kango ect . Diddy taught them how to sell hip hop as a product itself. Showed the industry u can make a rapper

There’s always been a lane for this type of music. Those are just flat out terrible songs though.
