NBA Youngboys tour and ascension to the next level of stardom. Really feels like we are at the end of the Drake era of rap

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

YB has been mainstream for damn near 10 years

 

[sayyestothis]

I heard some fat dude from Texas that collabs with country is hot now...lol

fukk hip hop in 2025

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

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

I know im flabby and sick but every "new king" had at least one identifiable hit. Chief Keef had "Dont like" . What is that song for Youngboy?

 

[Ducktales]

You don’t hear real choruses as much. I don’t even be realizing it’s the chorus until after they repeat it creativity is just really low in regards to what we hear on the radio

nikka doing arena tours with no opening acts and y'all talking about "that kid is gonna make it big one day"

OUR favorite rappers struggle to do arena tours and that's WITH other acts

Young Boy needs WAY more radio play to really take that spot IMO. And some undeniable verses and guest spots.

Right now he’s giving Prime Lil Baby. I need to see him really kick into another gear. A lot of artists have had dope years. YB deserves his success though

went from DeBaby to Bossman DLow to Lil Baby to Big X the Plug… c’mon…just let it happen

OK, so he’s having a Debaby run?

 

[MoshpitMazi]

YB the biggest out

 

[Deathstroke]

Y’all gotta be trolling

 

[Braman]

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

He actually does have an opening act, offset been on tour with him.
