To each his own.
Explain to us why you think Gunna doesn't make hip hop music.
Holy shyt some of the comments in here.
Mike has done more for his community and his city than the combined lifetimes of all you lowlifes.
But please go ahead and keyboard warrior yourself away in the comfort of your homes lmao.
Album been out for 9 hours and all I see is two pages of people whining about his character, meanwhile these same folk will catapult a new Drake mixtape to 400 pages within the same time period. Good one.
Am I smelling a cac infestation in here?
You'd think these guys were resurrecting BPP on the streets and constantly propping up militant music the way they talk.
You can always recognize them, they take who ever is speaking up the MOST and go against him the HARDEST.
And you so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me
Until my voice goes from a shriek to whisper, I can’t breathe
And you sit there in the house on couch and watch it on TV
The most you gives a Twitter rant and call it a tragedy
Just us ducks here sitting
Where murderous chokehold cops still earning a living
Funny how some say money don’t matter
That’s rich now, isn’t it, get it?
They write these bars last week or something?

Breh i never said he doesn't make hip hop hop. I wa just highling the fact you think Gunna is somehow more hip hop than RTJ.
Explain why you don't think Gunna's music is for pitchfork festivals
Gunna: Wunna
Seems like they like his music a lot...

Pitchfork review everything. But who you think is going to play their festival, Gunna or RTJ?
The majority of RTJ's fans are indie rock listeners who don't follow hip hop music. RTJ just ain't part of the culture like that. They're in that alt-rap lane that's more relevant with college white kids and hipsters than full time hip hop heads.
Gunna's music is a complete representation of hip hop music in 2020. This is what hip hop sounds like in 2020. You may not like that. But it is what it is. RTJ veers far to much in the direction of electronic music for this forum. A lot of these beats I wouldn't classify as hip hop. There's collabos with people like Josh Homme. This album is at least 50% alternative/electronic. So of course one of the most prominent artists in hip hop today is gonna do bigger numbers. This is like in 95 asking why the new Beastie Boys album ain't doing the same numbers as the new Dogg Pound album.
But I'm sure if you go to the indie rock version of The Coli their RTJ thread is doing numbers while no one is mentioning Gunna

I get your overall point but this is a bad analogy. Beastie Boys album that came out in 1994 Ill Communication sold more than the Dogg Pound's Dogg Food that came out in 1995.
Yeah but if The Coli (or SOHH) existed back then that Dogg Food thread would do bigger numbers than Ill Communication.
Ill Communication is a great album but it has a lot of alternative shyt on there that a regular hip hop fan ain't gonna necessarily like. Beasties never got that much love on SOHH for these exact reasons.
