Homeboy is way beyond a cult following...

Blame the ignant street dudes who were WILDLY UPSET at J Cole and Kendrick blowing up and changing the direction of the whole genre back in 2012. Even Drake was moving people away from the stagnant ignorant shyt, and record labels wereat the fact that these rappers were inspired by Nas and not the likes of some early 00s wannabe Tupac rapper on the mixtapes or Gucci Mane.
Interscope, at the last possible minute, recruited a random rapper from Chicago to swing back the trends to ignorance on the streets, but he was much, much less lyrically talented. His name was Chief Keef, and he gave birth to the self-destructive Drill movement. Almost everyone that came up after the end of 2012 to erase any impact that Cole and Kendrick did. Apparently, it worked and now we have a new generation of non-lyrical autotune-abusing "rappers" that removed any form of standards in black music.
this aint it bruh/
has nothing to do with trying to move "positive" rap out the paint.
The linear progeression is really Souljah boy to keef to kodak/YB/current gen of under 25 rappers who blew from the internet...with a few regional/stylistic family trees like Boosie to gates to YB or Kanye to cudi to travis scott to Uzi and Carti by way of Future
Where we are at in hip hop is simply a by product of Web 2.0 and the extinction of the Executive Producer concept. Notice, outside of Coach K, the likes of Diddy, Suge, Dame, J. Prince, Master P, Birdman, etc dont really exist anymore. Those guys were the link between the Labels and the streets and in some respect were quality control. Nowadays anyone with a internet connection and a mic can produce, record and distribute.
The layer of separation between aspiring rap artist, grifter, hobbyist or a bored nikka on house arrest is gone and there are no exec producers to sort it all out.
Not a household name? Dude's probably the biggest rapper not named Drake.
Lil baby doesn't even have a fanbase like youngboy

NBA youngboy is a hit because women love him. Hes the personification of the "toxic street nikka who loves hard but cant be tamed". LIke i seriously see tons of 30+ women who are birds who lowkey stan him.
Women love Drake as well.
At the end of the day regardless of that, he's probably the 2nd biggest rapper in the game. It's just a hard pill to swallow for older heads, and understandably so

And u don’t know shyt about what you talking about. The real industry plants were all those non-street rappers of the blog era. J. Cole, Kendrick.
Chief Keef wasn’t a nobody he had the youth of Chicago on lock and was one of the first viral YouTube rappers with an organic independent following.

But it was negative and non lyrical, thats was the entire point. Interscope was desperate to find another 50 Cent to bring back the
energy back in the rap game.
Soulja Boy was out of the charts after his 2nd album back in early 09. 2010 to 2012, was the era when J Cole, Drake, Kendrick, Cudi, and others were making their impact and climbing out the rut of the 04 to 09 era of one-hit wonders. This was before IG existed.

They simply cashed in on the demand.
Labels were looking for clean cut, polished rappers, early to mid 20’s preferably.
Consumers have to be held accountable too for years in that era nikkas complained about rap becoming soft.
