Has the "I'm a rapper" fad ended?

[JasonSJackson]

I remember a few years ago everybody thought they was a rapper. My nikka, EVERYBODY. Mixtapes upon mixtape upon mixtape. Everybody had a mixtape back then. The nikka selling loose ones had a mixtape. The genre had become so flooded with rappers/mixtapes it basically made fishing for off the radar talent on those mixtape websites a joke.

It doesn't seem that way to me anymore. These days shyt just seems less congested. I figure its because alot of the allure has subsided with the whole being a rapper thing (money, bytches, cars, etc.). People are now being exposed to the lies, the financial situations for alot of the nikkas they thought was doin it big, etc. and have now set their aspirations on the next lottery ticket level idea.

It could be just me tho, what you think?

Nope there's plenty of talentless fukkboyz out there filling the ranks that truly believe the bullshyt they churn out actually contributes something. That retard observe is a good example

Nah, the mixtape game is def still oversaturated.

But i think its going to move away from that slowly.

Fergs album was supposed to be a mixtape, until he decided to release it as an album. And sold 65 k with no prior material out just a few songs.

French Montana just announced hes releasing Mac and cheese 4 as his sophmore album instead of a mixtape.

Honestly, more artists already on or with a movement behind them should be doing this.

thats what i was thinking too....

maybe it's cause ive become so used to avoiding all that nonsense my habit has blinded me to the reality. That's why i made the thread for real, to get other peoples point of view.
