But the hottest rapper is... lil pump ?uzi? I honestly don't even know but I do know that I don't feel the same energy I use to feel in the earth to mid 2000's as trash as Soulja boy was he put all his energy into making his product. Now it's like everyone, good or bad is half assing it like they not really dedicated. Albums with no rollout or promotion, lackluster projects, cheap videos. Cardi B really the only artist in 2017 that moved in a semi traditional way, Dope single +street buzz= brand /album promotion. She actually out here doing stuff.

finally an objective take on Cardi B

Trust that I brushed her off too in the beginning, but I respect the way she been moving out here. She actually feels like a star as opposed to a generic MF.

Nikkas out here hating on her but Id rather hear music from an ex stripper than a current junkie.

If these androgynous nikkas gonna look and act like bytches, might as well fukk with the real thing. Plus she spitting harder than alot of these brain dead azz nikka

Noticed a lot of people round my age or
a little younger saying they really not fukking with rap like that anymore and I’m 23 just seems like it’s geared a lot more towards middle schoolers and high schoolers more than ever now even with my fam in the hood they wiling more to club music and dancehall but I noticed a period like this in 2007-2009 ish so it might be dry for a while before some legit stars pop up like Drake, Kendrick, Cudi, Cole didn around 2010

rap will never truly die but it's been a coma since at least 2004. If I'm being generous, 2007.

Rocky and Lil B gave it a shot in the arm, and it moved, then went back to being comatose

all these nikkas are industry plants. Planted right in front of the camera in on the radio 20 times a day til they grow on you when you initially didnt like them. All these nikka are some labels investement; They linger in the background til they get themselves hot then the label promotes them to the moon cause they know they can get a lot of kickback from them 360s. There hasnt been an organic buzz in a long time. All these nikka are industry plants.

Far as the Cardi B hate. I have no dog in the fight. Im just givin my objective opinion as a person who not really deep into her body of work. I'm not going on any crusades to slander the bytch. It aint that serious. That energy can be applied to alot of these effeminate fukkboys, and Cheif Keef clones while we at it,

I feel like at the end of the day alot of the saltiness is because she a chick gettin looks all over the place. I dont care either way. She'll never occupy space on my playlist regardless but it dont change the fact that she has a place in the game whether you like it or not. Clearly people are fukking with her especially chicks.
