The rise of Ice Spice almost feels like a game or trolling IMO…

Mid. Let's keep it a buck. There's a thousand sistas in every city that look exactly the same.

Never understood why we elevate the looks of a celebrity just because they're famous.

That's what Im saying.

If you gave me a budget and said pick a baddie off IG and make a industry plant not one person would invest into THAT lol...

Now, the poster that said that she was already popping with the youth in NY for some other social media stuff at least makes SOME sense..

And I dont see how this is hating, ears are ears. You don't have to like something to understand why it's hot.

I listen to ZERO Kodak and from what I've heard, I get it. NBA YB...Glo, even Sawatiee and some of those lamer artists like her...

But this chick speaks slow, like she's missing something, isnt funny, outgoing, or even have those hits that everyone bumps (AND DONT GET IT TWISTED, EVEN IN THE GROWN CLUBS A HIT RINGS OFF)....

'mid' is a little weird, she's above average and has sex appeal it's not complicated

Women and gays are the emerging market of now. That's who they want to market to, that's who the mainstream is catering to.

Admit it, we followed the new "street" artist that would emerge ever 1-2 years with the same narrative and content, same backstory, same outcome where they're dead or locked up with the year. Rinse and repeat. Our demographic doesn't matter anymore. We've been sold to, and that well is dry

It's the same thing now but the "IG baddie" aesthetic. The audience sees themselves in them. Women were used as an accessory when selling the "rap lifestyle" for years, now they're in the driver's seat. Ice Spice also feels like the NY media intelligentsia (Conde Nast, Pitchfork, Hot 97 etc) conspiring to push a star, being that Cardi B seems to be mostly over

I'm not defending it, but I understand it. It's obviously not empowering and extremely problematic in its own way, but to many people, it feels like the tables have turned and they embrace that. Time will tell, if any actual stars or memorable music comes from it
Music is no longer designed to be memorable.

I mean even if I don’t like the artist or outgrown the genre, I can usually at least understand why someone is famous or hot…

But the Ice Spice girl feels like a bunch of execs got together over dinner and bet they could make a regular average Instagram girl famous in 6 months…

Like, she does nothing exceptional or even average or even decent, music wise or looks wise or anything to be this hot lol…

I mean keep it a buck, Cardi Bodak Yellow was hard, that Glorilla chick songs ring off, the “mumble rap” era at least had guilty pleasure bangers…I cant think of anytime catching all the mag covers and co-signs that is so… :why:

The matrix know the culture is dying lol
She got big cuz simps in her city as well as rappers from her city gassed her up, she most definitely a plant but the attention was real imo.

A fat ass latina IN NY (yall know them nikkas love latinas) that raps even though she was lowkey dissing the same nikkas that made her pop, with obvious backing behind her, it was fool proof.
