Once Future dropped that Summer, it was a wrap...

Fetty Wap and Desiigner were both Future clones.


Both of em could be easily replaced.

2015 was when all the groundwork of the everyman 9-5 rapper (Wale, Kid Cudi, Cole, Kendrick) that was being built from late 2008 was washed away, in autotune and techno-friendly beats. Basically, ignorance and clout and Instagram basically took over and fukked up black culture and Hip Hop ever since. That was when quality control of music was non-existent and clones of mumbling rappers took over.

Looking back at it, Jeezy's homeboy getting killed by Gucci Mane instead of the other way around really fukked up black music in its entirety

Stop focusing on sales, start focusing on art and actually being a great artist…perhaps. So much terrible music by terrible artists being mass-produced and released by terrible people…focus on making better product that lasts and not just stupid shyt that little kids and white girls/smuts enjoy for a week and a half.

If the sales are down 40% they’re probably really down 80% since them streaming numbers is fugazi.

Nas, a leader in this, is showing you how to do it and everyone wants to try so hard not to notice. Focus on making great music, forget the sales, your fans/potential fans will appreciate it and show up for you in droves when you’re in their cities and buy your merch and support your outside endeavors, etc…money going crazy! Sales are politics…and it’s 2023, what even are sales anymore? All that shyt is smoke and mirrors

No

50 years in we’re probably due for a new wave.

I mean there’s discourse about a Drake album and it’s almost 2024

Gucci Mane was in the underground networking, I wouldn't blame him entirely.


Jeezy gets some blame since he's the quintessential "I'm not a rapper, I'm a hustler".


You have a point about 2015 though.


From the moment that, Drake beat Meek Mill...


All chaos broke loose in the industry.

 

[I Really Mean It]

the artists actually focusing on their craft, staying genuine to who they are, and producing music that isn’t hollow and derivative are eating well.
