Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread



Interesting take on the state of hip hop topic that came up in lieu of no one in the genre having produced a number 1 album in all of 2023. Haven’t listened in damn near a decade, so I didn’t think about the radio angle.

R.I.P. to Borders. Barnes N Noble still has a small CD section but it's like 1/8 size of what it once was. In the store nearby me it has been relegated to a small corner on the 2nd floor.

The Eminem Show was everywhere like a month+ before release. Guys at my school were trying to bootleg copies for $5 a pop lol.
 
Found this article. But they felt like Drake took the song and ran with it without giving them their props.

Always felt Drake hopping on these new artists early hits was not to service them but himself, maintaining relevancy amongst different genres and cultures.

Good example of this is Blockboi JB

This a good interview right here. He goes into how Drake was carrying it, midway through.
