The lyrics on Hot _ are trash, we all know this, but that's not why ****** like the song, so why aren't you holding Bobby to the same standard that you would hold to somebody else?
You're literally changing the standards when you admit that this particular song is better than Tom Ford even tho the lyrics are WAY worse, no substance etc. Yet, in the same breath will criticize other rappers for slacking in "craft and artistry"?
It can't be both ways bro. We all know lyrics aren't the end all be all when it comes to making a good song but for some reason it's only cool when it's a rapper _'s like themselves. When it's somebody you don't like they need to step their bars up, come with some substance, etc
From what I've seen I don't think anybody in here said anything about Jay or Tom Ford being trash lyrically although there are some weak *** lyrics on the song.
As for the last statement, there's a flock of hot new artists in EVERY genre EVERY year. Some stay some go. This isn't exclusive to trap or hip hop in general so idk where you're even getting at with that.
Statistically, how many people on the yearly XXL freshman cover end up getting to the next level?

Fam what are you talking about, i'm not changing standards at all.... i don't think Tom ford is a bad song because of the lyrics o lack of substance, or because it's from Jay. I dislike the beat, i dislike the flows, the energy is off it's just a bad soong in general IMO. If bobby came out with it i would consider it the same type of trash.
I criticize other rappers about substance and artistry when i see those artist mentioned amongst a different caliber of rappers that their names shouldn't pop up. Cats are acting as if i don't like any of these songs. Uzi has a handful of songs i rock with, I listen to Migos, a lot of the songs that pop in the club i like in certain settings. However i am also not that ***** claiming these same artist to be the hottest rappers out, or claiming that one of these ****** are dropping "classic material"
There's a handful of Bobby tracks that i like, i don't think he's an amazing talent, but in the lane of rap they are in they make good music. At no point however am i gonna start fronting like these dudes are making incredible music or **** that isn't easy to replicate. I don't have a problem admitting that, with these other artist dudes are acting as if they are really Nice. like they're really making game changing brand new music and that's the disconnect.
and as far as the trap rap **** goes... yes other genre's in music have artist that lose steam... but it's been like a damn royal rumble of ****** year after year who get the most minuscule of buzzes, then 6 month later they're obsolete because the music they were making can be so easily replicated.
a ***** get one mixtape in with 4-5 bangers and suddenly there the new "big" thing.. they continue to drop the same non motivated records and the crowd that built them is now dickriding a newer ios version of the last rapper.
