I feel like, while the artists can be held accountable for the decline of mainstream hiphop (after all, Drake is the biggest artist in hiphop right now regarding numbers) by putting out lackluster projects and generic songs, the industry itself has to be held accountable as well. They are the marketing machine after all, and they are completely missing the mark. When you reduce the concept of listeners/consumers to shit like streaming numbers, that commercial dehumanization results in marketing fuckups. I feel like that plays a huge role in for instance, Lil Baby canceling his tour, because he fails to generate enough income from his supposed fans. That you like to bump his albums as background music in the whip or while you're chilling at home, doesn't mean you're willing to pay damn near a hundred dollars for his concerts. Their music or their live performance (or both) just isn't special ir engaging enough for the majority to go out their way and attend that shit. But by simply translating streaming success to the price of their ticket, you fail to take these factors into account. Mainstream hiphop has been commodified like never before, in a time of such inflation, those two don't mix too well.

When this video mentions Drake concerning himself only with streaming numbers, the video footage of him tells an interesting story. All of the video clips in that moment are of Drake imitating Michael Jackson, the “Tootsie Slide” video “Walk It like I talk it” video and “2 Sexy” video. It made me realize that at some point, Drake stopped trying to be considered the greatest rapper of all time and instead is competing for being the biggest selling artist of all time. He wants to be as big as Michael Jackson! Remember on the Meek Mill song “Going Bad” he says he “got more slaps than the Beatles”. Drake wants to sell records and break records and he’s using the accessibility of streaming to do that. That’s why his albums after 2016 have been so bloated. He knows the more songs on the album the more songs he can get to chart on Billboard after the album gets streamed. He recently bragged on “First Person Shooter” that he’s “one away from Michael” referring to the fact that he had just received his 12th number one hit and then ironically that song gave him his 13th number one hit and now he’s tied with Michael Jackson as the male solo artist with the most number one singles. Drake wants pop music dominance.

The real problem r the labels...all they want is someone who they can pimp out to make their bag...drake is one of many of these 'rappers' who don't rep or tell the story of life experience but just spit commercial rubbish designed to make $$$ not enlighten the audience

What a great achievement.

I don't necessarily think Drake is a problem as such, he has just stopped putting any effort into his albums for the past 6 or 7 years. When he first came out I actually liked him, his wordplay and storytelling and being emotionally vulnerable was actually a really cool thing in hip hop as people who aren't from a ghetto gangsta background finally had people we could identify with as well (no offence to the hip hop heads, but I have far more in common with guys like Drake, J Cole and Mac Miller than I ever did with Biggie, Game or 50 Cent, sure, they are great artists no doubt, but I am a goofy white rapper from the suburbs so naturally their music is not as relatable to me as the former). I think the issue is more that he sticks to a safe formula on every album and shows no real growth as an artist, and while he is the king of hip hop in terms of sales it lead to other artists not putting in as much effort either.

Let the man enjoy his success,.. he is not forcing anyone to listen to his music. It's simple, more people resonate with his music now more than before. To be honest if I find something that works for me too, I'd hop on it. And if you do find something that works for you too, i.e the KZread channel, don't mind us, sacrifice the few if you can get more, after all the whole point is being at the top. We all wannabe

But he still the one who is keeping it alive

I am not worried about the state of Hip Hop. Hip Hop went through the East Coast VS West Coast feud from the late 1980's to the late 1990's and is still standing. Hip Hop dealt with the Pop success of rappers in the very start of the 2000's and is still standing. Hip Hop isn't just rap, but DJing/Turntablism, Breaking/B Boys and B Girls, Graffiti Art, as well as MCing/Rapping. Just as KRS One, the Teacha of Hip Hop, once said: Hip Hop can never Die!

Saying drake is the face is a bold statement

Three drake videos in a row? Dawg at least try and split them? U feasting on his relevancy while complaining hes ruining hiphop.

Enough with the drake hate… give me one artist that didn’t face a decline in the quality of their music over time ? None , we all either grow out of their music or they themselves are artistically drained

Irony at best! Bro makes music and $$$ but it constantly keeps getting worse. But fk this is what happens when u sell ya soul, don't know when "they'll " take u out. Like his Album he need "More Life"

I mean this is what y’all’s generation deserves. There’s a reason why older gens never allowed our artists to copy flows and get away with subpar bars or not being able to truly freestyle. If we allowed that, we would have had to endure the very same bs hip-hop is in today. Y’all condoned Drake monopolizing rap by buying out other artists and straight up jacking entire styles and sounds instead of making him have to truly compete. This is on the fans. Y’all created a monster and now you’re stuck with him.

That's more or less on the industry and his contemporaries who support him. The fans couldn't do jack shit about it if they wanted to. Plus, a lot of rappers can't freestyle. Hell, Cube wrote lines for the rest of NWA. Will Smith had ghostwriters. Multiple rappers, including Eminem, have admitted to biting Nas. There has always been rappers in the industry who jack styles, can't freestyle and are essentially mouthpieces.

He was saying he need time to rest and now he dropped another project after a month xd

I wish I we had DMX and Tupac back i rather listen to them over pathetic Drake and Jay-Z.

He ain’t never been the same since he got 🐶 slapped by Diddy

Perhaps if hip hop and fans alike fully accepted Drake when he was dropping “Take Care” & “Nothing Was The Same” we wouldn’t have the Drake that we have today. Now Drake is in the position to where he can do whatever he wants with it….

Drake hasn't lost a step. What even is this?

He has actually

R&b is what helped hip hop mostly dominate the charts prior if u think of most of the big rap songs that were considered mainstream back then use to always have a big R&B artist on the hook.. R&B is completely dead on a mainstream level that hurt hip hop a lot there’s no soul in it at all nomore.. Drill music and the lean Percocet rappers help kill hip hop even further every rapper got Opps and drink lean all day nobody is original Its boring.. also with no rapper feels unique or special also due to social media that killed the whole aura celebs use to have we can just go to their page and c what their doin all the time now.. We use to actually care about artist because wasn’t much we knew about them personally only musically.. They felt larger than life.. I blame social media also for the decline because when I think back to the 2000s for instance u had maybe 20-30 rappers as a whole nowadays theirs thousands of rappers it’s overwhelming hard to pick a favorite artist when there’s waaay to many and they’re all talking about the same exact shit.. Prime example Eminem, 50 Cent, Nelly, Busta rhymes, Ludacris, Nas, Jay-z to name a few were all out same time but literally none of them sounded the same or talked about same shit every artist was completely different back then.. Last but not least KZread TikTok and Podcast have overtaken the music it’s more entertaining nowadays our attention span is so much shorter so it’s has to really grab our attention to b truly interested. I remember when I use to go on KZread and my feed was filled with music nowadays is filled with different podcast funny videos or life informing videos..Hip Hop just don’t hit the same.. Never thought I’ll c the day sad truly sad

I like the new Drake. Balls to the wall raps. Hilarious and pompous. Hip Hop can be introspective and deep but he's just a flamboyant rapper. It's fun. If I want the deeper cuts I go somewhere else but sometimes you need the silly-shit. The Boy can still rap though. Charlotte reminded you that much.
