He’s a black post Malone, not entirely mad but it’s not targeted for me

Dude makes mediocre "of-the-times" music :yeshrug:

he's like an amalgamation of every single rap trend, wrapped up in a neat package, and easily presentable to audiences that need someone SAFE but still slightly edgy .

On top of that - due to being a total and transparent industry PLANT - he gets good features and collabs, and decent production - to the point where seasoned rap fans may check for him just off the strength of someone like Future collabing with him.

Juice WRLD is almost insulting because it's like "they" think the typical audience and listener is stupid and easy to impress. Which may be true at the end of the day, but it doesn't make it any better.

They just found someone willing to play the role and be the front man for the combination of every single rap and youth trend going on right now. It's unfortunate that they had to have him sell the story of a fake drug addiction to his audience to keep up with the times :yeshrug: He's like the peak 2018 rapper - they took every trend in regards to sound and style, threw some face tats (not yet but those are on the way, trust) and dreads on to be safe, and forced him onto us. Dude's music is passable at best, total garbage at worst. Wouldn't be surprised if he just continues to get bigger and bigger until we see him on Ellen or chopping it up with Hilary Clinton on the 2020 trail :francis:

Because he's "relatable" and people think he's a good songwriter. I dont tho, he just got some catchy shyt to me. He had this whole "My girl left me and im sad so let me sing over stock guitars" vibe when he first blew up with All Girls Are The Same and it stuck with people. On top of that, he's literally the black Post Malone. I think I prefer Juice but I wont deny that this nikka probably wouldnt exist without artists like Post blowing up. Yeah his style is completely unoriginal but it works in small doses. I dont think he was terrible on Wrld On Drugs but Future and Juice have 0 chemistry, it was almost like that Uzi and Gucci tape but even worse. He might not even be relevant this time next year but its interesting seeing how far he came, like somebody in this thread said tho once Uzi drops its a wrap for this nikka.

This fire but it shows how far ahead Uzi is of him

This nikka officially a star

Coli usually 5 years late on to new artists but Juice already got the Coli's attention in less than a year of being "on"

:whew:

The Coli Hate is a sign of longevity and success... Get your money black man

:wow:

I expect him to be on Ellen soon.
