Honestly: it may be a wrap.
We have seen the complete annihilation of our culture and it's the Young Thugs and Lil' Baby's that put the nail in the coffin.
The combination of
- Black artists STILL tap dancing for white owned major labels as if they are doing us a favor...
- With the bar being so low that "the beat" is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more important than what a rapper (not an MC) says...
- The rise of Social Media aka Where Fake (the opposite of Hip-Hop) runs the show and gossip culture fueled by people like Charlamagne, Akademiks and Envy
Seeing things like Kendrick Lamar rapping for real and getting success is great - but knowing it's because he beefed with an R&B crooner in Drake suddenly makes it far less appealing or impressive. When he did his most creative work this dude was NOT doing no Super Bowls.
For all of us who lived through golden eras of rap from EPMD, Gang Starr, Wu-Tang's rise, Biggie, Tupac, Nas, Jay, Death Row, 50, Foxy, Wayne etc. the game is so watered down and the "niche underground" sound could be great BUT you can't experience the feeling of California Love coming on right after Pac got out anymore.
Being lame is excepted now. Having ZERO original aspects to your game is normal now. When I came up everyone wanted to be like rappers, now the LAST thing on Earth a smart/cool person would ever want to be is like one of these rappers.
What do you think? You think there's any hope @Knucklehead?

Pick up the phone is the only thing I think Thug might of went crazy on, it complimented where he shines.
Super Slimy is the only time I've given any of his music a chance and I felt like Future washed him on the whole tape. Outside of Rich Gang tracks, what Thug tracks are memorable?

Thug was never really that popular to begin with.
His plea deal making it so he cant rap about street shyt or work with street dudes, really made it feel like Thug was coming home defanged.
His decision to criticize Cudi was a bad look, and just served as an example of how retarded street code is. It reminded me of when Cam when on fox and said he wouldn't snitch if a serial rapist lived next door.

The “Shift” is how mainstream music is viewed/consumed…. There isn’t a rush to “be like” those guys anymore… so the interest in them really falls to the wayside…. They got way to many “personalities” to look up to… They don’t respect the rap nikka the same anymore. The whole shyt is different…. If Thug made a different style of rap he’d be fine…. But he’s stuck in the wrong lane where he needs the folks I mentioned above to care. And they don’t… they’d rather idolize “content creators” or streamers now.
He already peaked well before he went in.
the nicca music catalog is largely trash
