He’s a Morgan Wallen feature away at this point.
yb would have to get a verse written for him to crossover it's not his natural inclination

no.cap is the street artist that the labels & execs should be going crazy trying to give that look

he has the flashes of crossover pop potential in his music & all the street adjacent criminal fukkery the crashouts obsess over when it comes to yb

but it's like unless the artist goes mainstream by accident the labels don't want to do any work especially when it comes to hip-hop/rap/black artist

the crowd needs to be force.fed & guided left to their own devices they will consume bullshyte 99.9% of the time aHA

The Coli’s dismissal of YB as another retarded YN cause he ain’t running around rapping 7 syllable words over Conductor beats is :flabbynsick:

Gotta have standards. May not be a 90s MC love child like Pharoahe Monch, but gott do better than weak vocals and autotune. The Oldheads support their legends and still rock awards shows, people of YB generation be having shows CANCELLED due to weak stage performances.

We live in a timeline where BET Awards show and other traditional formats are shutting down permanently because of the weak bench of the newer artists.

a large part of it is a lot of rappers construct songs in a way that they cannot be performed

the song is really built on computers the verses were not written & performed naturally to be performed live

the way all the random shyte is arranged stacked & layered is so chaotic..........purely processed sounds straight microwave music

This and the thread are wildly inaccurate

1- Hip hop and hip hop trends change too much, they are too cyclic to grade it by a whole decade.

2- Youngboy is just as famous now as he was 5 years ago. Same cult like fanbase. So what ‘ascension’?!

3- Prime Kanye had the president talking about him. Drake has put up Taylor swift numbers. It is not the same. It’s hard to categorize Youngboy bc he has a such a massive following that doesn’t translate to mainstream, but that’s ok. No need to force it
