So basically this comes down to the hottest in rap = who older white people (or people beyond the "niche" of the culture i.e. people who generally don't pay attention to hip hop) know?There's no hate, there's just no point in discussing something with someone who has no reasoning when faced with Facts. Dude is trying to Argue that Somehow 21/yachty are as hot as Kendrick lamar because he thinks they're hotter on social media & hears his friends play it more (two factors which cannot be measured). but if you look at anything tangible in any category they aren't close AT ALL.
Social media is absolutely a help to artist but nobody should be considered hottest in rap if the general public doesn't know who the **** you are. that trio of ****** is JUST getting to a point where people not in a certain niche know who they are. Homie continuously comes into these threads challenging facts and numbers with his friends aux cord plays and Spinrilla numbers.
1'000'000 spins on a mixtape app & a million singles sold are Completely different plateaus, having a meme online does not equal the same exposure of your music career as performing at the ****** grammy's. do you see these outlandish comparisons homie is throwing out here.
You're saying people paying attention to hip hop ages 10-30 are unaware of Uzi, Yachty, 21, Kodak, YG etc.? Because if not then you're saying that the hottest is determined by how much exposure and popularity you have outside of that bubble...leaving 10-30 year olds who don't pay attention to hip hop...and if that's the case then Pitbull, Flo Rida, G-Eazy, Eminem, DJ Carnage/whatever EDM DJ is doing rapper collabs this month etc. all are owed spots.
Which is it?
How are
Homie continuously comes into these threads challenging facts and numbers with his friends aux cord plays and Spinrilla numbers.
You just proved my point.
Numbers are numbers.
8 Million Apple Music or Spotify streams are no less or more valuable than Spinrilla or MyMixtapez streams and that's the whole concept of "me and my friends aux cords". It's not specifically about me and my friends but as a whole this generation consumes music through aux cords when they're in cars were not listening to the radio waiting through 4 pop goofy songs and 8 commercials for one song we wanna hear. We don't have to do that. You did that but that was 10-15 years ago sir.
We are not watching the Grammys. We're going to see the performance on Twitter, watch it for < 60 seconds just like we'd watch a meme. They are reaching the same amount of people and staying on the consumer's mind for the same general amount of time. Who gives a **** about award shows and late night talk shows. As a whole this is how my generation consumes music.
But of course you'd know more about that wouldn't you
