This is why no hip-hop songs are in the top 40

[#BOTHSIDES]

Hiphop needed drake. He was carrying the genre on his back…

After that battle… hiphop ain’t really had no hits.

Like when 50 killed hiphop by attacking everybody

 

[King Poetic]

The biggest consumers white people and Hispanics isn’t buying any of this bullshyt today

And these non talented artist today are just using rap as a quick cash grab

They don’t rap about no social or political issues, they don’t address any real issues at all on microphone

Its all about party and bullshyt

u got these young nikkas so quick to say so and so NLE choppa is the new 2pac

2pac went at politicians, police, sellout blacks besides talking about partying and other shyt

These new nikkas don’t stand for shyt except for their dead homie in the grave who killed people themselves

Drake dropped an album this year

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Rap is back underground and good.

I'm tired of people who cant even be bothered to learn how we move or even care for our struggle having such unfettered access to such a big aspect of our culture. Let those that want to participate, look for it like good Jazz or House music.

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

There is no inspiring story anymore. Rap needed to pivot past the tiresome cliches corporate forced down to the masses and return to making music for black people about the black experience.

gen z not able to carry the art form forward because they're less creative, less intelligent, and stunted. not their fault though. the fault lies with society in general and what our culture permits, to be precise.

 

[MoveForward]

Drake kept rap alive…

 

[Jaguar93]

Drake been outside since 2024 dropping music. That shyt just isn’t hitting.

 

[keon]

The type of rap I listen to (and have always listened to) would never be in the top 40 anyway and I’m fine with that

 

[Kuma the Bear]

Make Boom Bap Great Again

it's 2025.

 

[Premeditated]

A lot of good music dropped this year. It’s clear that the labels only want a certain type of rap out…

the labels are looking for new stars that will stick and you are over here posting artists that debuted 15-23 years ago?

Drake has dropped dozens of songs in the past year and a half.

The decline in chart success has been seen since before 2023.

If anything, trying to rely on a single person has done significantly more harm than good for the genre.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

From a historical perspective, we’ve been LONG overdue for a new genre

Every new genre that black Americans created was in response to terrible times and shytty conditions.

Slavery gave us Spirituals which became Gospel Music.

Congo Square, New Orleans gave us Jazz.

Post Civil War gave us Blues which became rock, R&B and Funk.

The Urban Decay of the Heroin and Crack epidemics gave us Hip Hop.

Give it some time…

You sound retarded. Taylor Swift has been performing professionally for 19 years and she at the top of the charts currently.



Only black people have these stupid requirements of their artists.

White people coddling Taylor Swift her whole fukking career. That’s why she’s still on “top” as you say after 20 years.
