No hip hop song or album has reached number one in 2023

basically what people have said about the current rap scene in all these threads

today's stars aint as big as the past
potential stars died
afrobeats and other genres are growing
people are tired of dead ass trap/drill and are looking to dance - the move to danceable songs should help sales

Drill was the worst thing that could have happened to hip hop in the 2020’s

Hallelujah. Hip-Hop has had the longest reign of any musical genre. Time for something new.

Anybody on here will tell you I dont idolize Pac for one...

But how you raced in here to cape for these nail polish wearing rappers is top tier Pride posting

You idolize Nas which is nothing to be proud of

Rap is still the most consumed genre

What happened to Rock is slowly happening to Rap. You are seeing the beginning of Rap no longer being the dominant genre in music.

It’s almost impossible for rap not to be number 1 off the sheer output of music released

no, there is one ugly chick with a song that fits her station in life. most the other girls are at least cute, despite making ratchet ass songs

You can’t say it’s only one ugly chick rapping. It’s a million bytches making ratchet anthems nowadays

I’ve just accepted this is my Point in life because i get almost no enjoyment out of newer rap music or R&B anymore

The south took over hip hop/rap and killed it afterwards with overpopulated microwave music

Everyone wants to listen to hit songs instead of quality rap albums. Mainstream is dead. I’m still listening to albums from the past few years and older albums.
