luminate_data they mentioned you in the article. As you are a data tracker, you can develop a business model to allow artist to be better paid. There are lots of musicians putting their music on YouTube and other social media for free and lots of young artists are complaining to not be paid

It’s absolutely terrible, meaningless, and cheaply made. There is absolutely no substance to 99% of todays hip-hop. For the love of god can we let real musicians make mainstream music again.

The Islamic Republic is firing on students at Iran's Sharif_University. Yet, reports indicate the US may send this criminal regime billions yet again. POTUS, you have yet to help our people. At least don't fund the bullets piercing the hearts of our youth!

But their lyrics are so uplifting!

In front of Sharif_University it looks like a battlefield. Families are very worried. shot sounds is heard. The smell of tear gas is everywhere. No one knows how many students stayed inside and how many people were arrested and injured.we need your help. مهسا_امینی MahsaAmini

I'm ready for the next genre so bad

Music comes in waves, tbh. Some are always gonna be on that wave and then it will swell and pick up a bunch more.

I think the factor to consider is the one also mentioned in this article (eg Bad Bunny who is classified as Latin and not hip hop). Hip hop transcends barriers, languages, geographies, etc. So would argue it’s a classification issue, which needs to be sorted prior to ranking

Hopefully

Cause the rappers today are buns?

Probably because people have finally have realized how f_ing awful it is..

Because rap fucking sucks now and has sucked for the past 7yrs.

jeffreybvaughn yes the deeply right wing “fiscally conservative” uncle of journalism has a cogent and well-informed take about the state of hip hop in 2022

Let's hope that the steaming pile of vulgarity that is hip hop dies off soon.

Most of the entertainment industry has been taking swipes at the American people for nearly a decade. People have tuned out.

Perhaps because it’s not music?

NO non-black person opinion on rap matters

Dude, hip-hop is been the hottest music since like 1988

I’m white

Rap sucks.
