Oct 21, 2022 I mean...look at the posts in this thread lol. I brought him up in my post earlier in the thread, it's insane how popular he is and he's not even really "mainstream" in a traditional sense if that makes sense? You never hear quote unquote normies talk about him — but him and Drake are the only artists to have over 4 billion streams in 2022 so far. He doesn't even really tour cuz he's always in jail or on probation and can't travel lol. The king of cracked iPhone 6 youtube streams. https://boardroom.tv/nba-youngboy-realer-2-yb-better/
Oct 21, 2022 bc you’re a really good writer. don’t you think the writing on some of these songs is kinda lazy and pandering? even a little?
Oct 21, 2022 All of these rappers have top 10 hits in 2022 so far: Lil Nas X (multiple) Gunna/Future/Young Thug Kodak Black Nicki Minaj/Lil Baby JID (w/ imagine dragons) Doja Cat (multiple) Latto Jack Harlow Future/Drake Future solo (multiple) Lizzo Kendrick (multiple) Drake solo (multiple) Drake/21 savage Drake/lil baby Snoop Dogg (w/ BTS) Glorilla/Cardi B
Oct 21, 2022 Who specifically are you talking about? All rappers have had lazy/pandering lyrics at one point or another
Oct 21, 2022 Until you ask people to name the songs without using Google lol and some aren't even rappers like Lizzo or Doja No Tomorrow is only interesting because of Cardi
Oct 21, 2022 i googled some random youngboy lyrics - now, i realize not every rap song can be one mic or rap god. but this is literally incoherent rambling and catering about the gangsters he thinks stream his songs while they’re f---ing and doing drug deals… idk how people can like this stuff lol. but maybe like i say it’s personal preference. em is the current highest selling anyway so it’s really neither here nor there, but i’m tryna find the reason these songs exist lol. but i think i likely answer this question somewhere in this post lol
Oct 21, 2022 Have you ever even listened to a Doja Cat album? She raps on 11/14 of the songs on Planet Her and two of the ones she doesn't are duets with The Weeknd and Ariana Grande. That's like saying Drake or Uzi or Travis aren't rappers because they sing and rap. Her current hit Vegas is absolutely a rap song. I can't speak for Lizzo as much cuz I don't like her music but she definitely both raps and sings. I know earlier music was like 100% rap.
Oct 21, 2022 what you think about him is irrelevant, him being the most popular rapper right now isn’t an opinion, only Drake has more streams than him this year
Oct 21, 2022 I wouldn't even call Drake and Travis rappers lol and that's not bad, it makes them better since they can also sing their own hooks Uzi had his moments but he was always whack lol I also wouldn't call Vegas a rap song
Oct 21, 2022 It’s very weird, I can’t think if an example of anyone ever having been similar to him in terms of popularity but in the way you explained it. He’s definitely most popular with zoomers and yeah he’s on house arrest so has just been absolutely pumping out music. Kids just connect with him for some reason.
Oct 21, 2022 aight look, this is… entertaining… but i’ma head to the eminem sxn, but i wanna say, unless mic is an alt, him not knowing bc says all this stuff ironically, is sweeter than f---ing icing
Oct 21, 2022 it's a song with two rap verses and a sung hook. Is anything with a sung hook not a rap song? That eliminates a lot of Eminem songs from being rap songs. And you just ignored everything I said about Planet Her (prob bc you were straight up incorrect). If you rap on a significant portion of your songs you are a rapper by definition. Splitting hairs about what's rap and what isn't has always been stupid.
