THE BLACK MANS OBSESSION WITH THE RAPPERS IMAGE NOT THE RAPPERS SKILL OR TALENT BUT HIS IMAGE.. See growing up I liked Dmx because he could rap I liked nas because he could rap I liked Jay z cuz he could rap I liked 2pac cuz he could rap Y’all new niggas be liking rappers based on “He getting money” “He got that new whip” “He really did that” This is groupie like behavior lol we never did that before So this is a new phenomenon

ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE YOU DISCUSS IN DEPTH HOW THE BLACK AMERICAN LOSS ITS TASTE FOR ACTUAL TALENT WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC GEN Z BLACK AMERICANS WERE RAISED BY THE RADIO AND YOUTUBE VIEWS INSTEAD OF ACTUAL TALENT.. LIKE THE OTHER BLACK AMERICAN GENERATIONS BEFORE THEM AND SINCE MANY DIDN’T HAVE PARENTS TO TEACH THEM WHAT REAL TALENTED ARTIST SOUNDS LIKE THEY LOSS WHAT THE BLACK AMERICAN USED TO POSSESS SINCE THE PLANTATION A EAR FOR TALENT.. NOW IT’S BEEN REPLACED BY POPULARITY INSTEAD OF TALENT AND THIS MUSIC MENTAL ILLNESS HAS LITERALLY KILLED BLACK RNB AND KILLED BLACK RAP MUSIC IN THE MAINSTREAM Your music sucks outside of the rappers over 34 for the most part and everyone knows it except you.. All black music is not selling like it used too because the talented artist are no longer appreciated by their own culture

A nigga who profited off talking about all that shit suddenly wants purity when he’s reached a comfortable financial level. It was all about the bullshit on the way up.

"Rap died when the music stopped mattering!!!!" But look at what him and every other hip hop media outlet are known best for lol like cut it out. Everybody places blame but doesn't take responsibility. They don't even ask the artists about their music until they done asking about drama.

I kinda agree but even this guy takes the entertainment industry too seriously. Shit only exists so citizens won’t rebel against the government. A famous quote from a Roman poet named Juvenal explains it all.

It is about talent. If yo ass tryna be around for along time and actually be taking serious. Real fans and real ppl do not care about who you fucking or if you killed somebody. Don’t listen to this nigga😂🤦🏾‍♂️

All facts hip hop used to be about the struggle and what you go through not the kind of car you got or the kind of bitch you got I will blame all of that on Jay z and rappers who came after Jay z cuz he's the main one that made rap so materialistic

It’s not about Talent in America…. That’s why J Balvin is richer than any Rapper. Rap is dead, these dudes mumble on records

He’s right and it’s something all artist needs to hear. If you want to go mainstream congratulations your about to be a puppet just leverage the best deal for yourself. The character you’re about to play is going to be use to sell products or ideas. Ta-Da ! 🥳

Also niggas let GIRLS jade they view of what’s good…they want all music to be music you can play “for the bitches”…

You want bullshit because your views are down.. you want these dudes to crash out so you could make money. As far as rappers, Good music and originality will always make it through, problem is everyone sounds the same, the production is garbage, Radio is dead, streaming is scamming. 🎵💔🎧 #MusicIndustry #OriginalityMatters

That’s exactly why I stopped rapping. I literally wrote music for 20 years. Everyone around me knows it. I perfected tf out of my craft. People heard my shit and knew it was good. If I was in New York I would’ve been signed… We down here in the south though.. Niggas found out I wasn’t selling drugs or active in the streets so they wouldn’t fck w/ me 🤷🏾‍♂️ I don’t like when people brag on themselves versus letting people brag for them but I’m the fcking TRUTH in that booth and EVERY person that know me knows it. I have TONS of vouches on that. Niggas wasn’t fcking w/ me because I was making pizza’s while rapping. #HappyandHeartless… I’ll be back on day though.

It's a new era overall. I've watched lyricism in the mainstream fade slowly. J.Cole and Kendrick likely don't have fans under 25. Lupe doesn't have fans under 35 probably. JID's fan base is between 22 and 27 maybe. Youngbouls like streamers now 🤷🏿‍♂️.

The talent still matters. The messiness does give people with no talent an option to get views as well. But talent still matters. If you show someone that raps better than Eminem they will blow up if they have talent with making good songs.
