Did you forget to prompt it for the date range which is over 1 year :mjlol: 2024, 2025
based on what I found, no rap song in the past 5 years ran on the Billboard Hot 100 for two full years (~104 weeks) before a chart-rule change.
What is true is that Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar set a new record as the longest-charting rap song on the Hot 100: it logged 53 weeks on the chart. Hypebeast+2Stupid Dope+2

So you not going to include any other rap song that ran the chart in the last 2 years :mjlol:

This is why AI is only as good as the person prompting it :manny:

I can't keep coaching you to make sure you get a full understanding of the charts in the past 2 years. But does this answer your question to me about raps popularity? You have at least partial answers :manny:

Like....you have AI telling you that rap was popular from a span of 2024 and 2025. Then you have an article telling you a rap song was not on the top of the chart last week or whatever. ....what is even the question again? "Is rap popular?"

Uhhh yeah :ehh:

No single rap song has run for a full two years (104 weeks) straight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the past five years

However, the rap song with the longest run in history on the Billboard Hot 100, which occurred within the past five years (specifically, its run ended in May 2025), is Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us", which charted for a historic 53 straight weeks, just over one year.

Did you actually hear any other rap song on the chart that you can prompt it further with? :mjlol:

You said rap is the most creative and the most popular and I showed you a billboard that refutes your claim.

i didnt prompt it to come up with Kendrick, I asked it to give me a song that lasted 2 years, in the past 5 years. Kendrick is the only one to come close.

it literally does every single genre.

I went into chatgpt, and asked it to give me a prompt for a new genre. It basically came out with experimental.




I've done soundtrack music with it too. Classical mixed with haunting chinese vocals that sounded like Akira. It does EVERYTHING.

The fact that you didn’t understand my point tells me everything I need to know about why you like this shyt.

nah I think it's you that didn't understand ME.

AI music’s problems — data ethics, consent, and artistic authenticity — are serious and real. But framing them as a deliberate pattern of anti-Black exploitation simplifies a much larger, global phenomenon. The evidence suggests opportunism and technological pragmatism, not a coordinated attempt to trivialize Black art. It was not AI that created K-pop, for example.

First of all, I also said entertaining and billboard doesn't give an implications of entertainment value or creativity.

I'm not going to go any further based on the ridiculousness of your initial logic :francis:

what's YOUR number 1 rap song of the year then?

you'll have a Kendrick song breakthrough, and then a bunch of cookie cutters in the middle, as in 98%. I have no idea why you have an issue with AI replacing them.

said it once and i'll say it again. the industry is played out. Rappers talking about the same shyt, how much they got, whos bytch they took, 80k on my wrist, shooting up a block. singers that really cant sing but use engineers to push their sound. same beats, same cords. I enjoy making AI music (for myself) because I can literally make any topic, use any instrument, any genre. Maybe today I'm in the moood for some afro beats with violins or drill with some flutes and arabic flavor. I can literally do whatever I want, its a jukebox of endless imagination.


example. I want to hear a drill rapper rap about the Epstein files. something most rappers wont do for one reason or another.



and if I want, I can even use the same voice, same lyrics but over an afro beat, I can change his voice into a female. if I want to have some trumpets? I can do that too. heck, I can even master it by downloading the stems and sound engineer the whole thing. I can run a 16 bar piano sample I played, and have a beat or an orchestra revolve around it in less than a min. and build from there. I even prompted background music for someones tiktok horror story. I knew the exact synth and notes I wanted, and effects I wanted to pop in and out and the exact seconds.

I prompted a neosoul track clowning my wife while she was in the shower , I had it on full blast, she started laughing her ass off. :russ:


this doesnt mean artists are gone forever. I will still listen to my favorite artists when they drop, but these days I find myself very intrigued by AI music, esp since I don't have to wait for a single or album to drop. I can make 20 tracks in an hour. however I see fit. you just have to know how to prompt, its esp useful if you know music theory, scales, format etc.

How TF does any of that refutes my post about rap being popular, creative and entertaining than other genres :mindblown:

Your own partial research shows are least one rap song running the chart in both 2024 and 2025 which is two separate years! Not including other rap songs!
But your conclusion is rap is not popular
