Skills haven't mattered since the era of the club banger. That's what modern hip hop caters too.
The "true" fans of rap are a niche market. They simply don;t matter. Take an artist like Papoose. The dude has plenty of skill but he always ******* about not getting enough play time. Why? Because he doesn't produce club bangers. It's simple as that.
It's all about appealing to the masses on a single track (the entirety of the album itself isn't that important any more) and when you do so, you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
There's a formula to producing club bangers. It's no different than producing top 40 pop. Within the first 20 seconds of "all Gold Everything", I knew that it would be a club banger.
The key for artists nowadays is to string a few of these together which in turn confers legitimacy. Then the folks start to look into the non "pop" work of the artist.

Hip-Hop is the only genre where discussions about relevancy, marketing and almost everything besides the quality of the music itself takes precedence and that is what drives an "artist's" popularity. SMH that is why it sucks so hard not because of crappy southern artist(because there are plenty of good south acts).

That's because other genres of music were commercialized long before hip-hop. Not only is hip-hop a relatively new form of music (compared to pop, rock n' roll, R&B (an outgrowth of Motown),etc) but it didn't lend itself to commercialization until the mid 90's. Up until then, the music industry could not commercialize the genre for a variety of reasons. Foremost being that it was associated solely with Black Americans and since Black Americans only constituted ~12% of the population (and on average were poorer on the economic scale), commercialization wasn't viable.
It's no coincidence that we started seeing rap " moguls" in the late 90's, early 2k's. Are Diddy and Jay such geniuses? For the most part they were at the right place and at the right time. They seized the opportunities that commercialization of hip-hop created. Why were there white dudes at the helm or as partners at all of the major hip-hop labels? They were there because they had the connects necessary to commercialize the genre.
The catalyst for commercializing hip-hop was the Biggie and Tupac murders. The era of "gangsta rap", which wasn't appealing to non Black Americans, was over. It was like a clean slate whereby another entity could be created and put in it's place. This is what we have now. Commercial hip-hop.

I tried to avoid this guy forever just like ASAp, but every station and site has him on. The damn song is too catchy, but it is nothing great.
