Before the :flabbynsick: come in here whining about the culture

Yall dont support the real. This is partially yall fault. The youth and the taste makers. It's way bigger than "no one makes good music anymore"

Yall don't appreciate the good music that's made. That's why it's not broadcasted. That's why the artists who make bullshyt make it

"I could rhyme like Common Sense......."

This JID record is everything yall say isn't in the mainstream anymore. One of the many quality albums that came out in the past year. How come it didn't go Gold?

This generation a complete music failure and its catching up.. smh


These nyggas wanna just smoke and wear nail polish now..

They let females take over rap.. pathetic
****This generation's era of mainstream music****

It's not "nikkas" its Trippie Redd, Uzi, Carti, and the other main rappers who do that. And yall would rather listen to them than redveil, Denzel Curry, or Nick Grant

Don't blame the players or the game. Blame the game designers, the game sellers and the consumers

I agree with you...and I always like your posts...but what is "good" or "quality"?

If someone is providing a piece of art that isn't wanted/accepted by the consumers at large...while someone else's works of art are...how do we quantify which is good and which is "bullshyt" considering Art is a real "in the eye of the beholder", subjective thing? Tbh, the art that is more revered and "hot" has a better argument for being "good" than the art that the public isn't interested in, in terms of arguing its case.

But yeah...hip hop may not have reached #1 but has it reached #2-5?? Or even #2-10?? If so then this is nothing to overreact about, lol.

That’s cause no body big dropped

The biggest artist that dropped this year was durk but he dropped when Taylor swift dropped.



You gotta be a tier 1 artist to outsell Morgan wallen and Taylor swif. That’s drake Kendrick Travis cole Eminem maybe lil baby that might be it

Art is substantive, musically. It takes time. It isn't oversaturated. You get something out of it. You can listen to it over time and it doesn't get old quicky

With that being said, there's music for everyone. The "trash" music is the fast food music. There's filet mignon bubbling below Billboard

Looking at other genres, their popular music has subject matter. Subject matter that is diverse

Heartbreak, relationships, self-confidence, LIFE. The popular maintream rap music is drugs, sex, and violence. That's it. And this isn't even the core problem. This is what they promote. And nikkas listen to it non stop. The cycle repeats. They eat it up every time

That subject matter in mainstream hip hop wont make it No1 on the charts anymore

The Bad and Boujee era is over

Is the year over?
To be half over and not have any is a flop, not like years only have one hip hop record or album go #1, there’s usually multiple.


But this shows the limited reach of these “new stars”. Durk and Youngboy been crowned for the new generation and can’t reach beyond their niche of listeners. Gonna take the vets who dropped last year to get them #1’s again

Youngboy isn’t going to reach #1 because of his output and audience

Durk never had a #1 before why would he be expected to get one with J Cole?

Who else should’ve had a number 1 atp?
