based on what? 4 good albums

Also this thread isnt so much about quality rather than nothing really happening in hip hop to drive anything foward

I think some of this is also a reflection of all the OGs doing interviews on the past non stop/ It sort of keeps a lot of things in the past in ways :jbhmm:

Less money is being spent on music creation on the mainstream level than ever before.

We went from million dollar music videos, full blown commercials for albums and five different remixes for one song....to iPhone music videos recorded in their hotel rooms, lazy Instagram promos, and "leaked" songs that don't even make the album.

Artist development is basically non-existent. Plants are at an all-time high, so organic buzz for new artists is not there. These labels only want artists that have 100k streams and 100k followers on their own already, talent is secondary.

But music is forever, so something will give.

There’s not even producers who comes through and lock the game down anymore. Polo Da Don, Neptunes,Mustard,Kanye ect..

Call them wack or whatever else, but they all had the game on lock at one point. I fukk with Metro and Hit. They not super producers.
