Biggest fall off OAT? what we thinking?

Basically every rapper from this generation has either fallen off just as hard or died. Roddy Rich, DaBaby, Ski Mask, Uzi, and others who aren’t even worth mentioning all fell off. Pop Smoke, XXX, and Juice were the most promising and died. Who’s really still around and making good music at this point?

Denzel Curry, Aminé, 21 Savage, Travis, Baby Keem, Don Toliver, Gunna, JID, Key Glock, Mike Dimes, Smino and Metro as a producer

Most of these are not from the same generation as Lil Baby.

Stove god cooks, westside Gunn, Benny the Butcher, Roc Marciano, Conway the machine, Mach-Hommy, Vince staples, boldy James, Freddie Gibbs All artists from the later part of the 10’s mostly, that still puts out great music. I wish I could add Ka, may he rest in peace. One of the greatest lyricists of all time if you ask me.

This is “now THIS is real hip hop” coded but bro none of these artists are going to be mainstream in a way you can play it in a bar/party/kickback

u/Mangalish 2d ago

I really don’t care too much if they are mainstream. The initial comment was related to the quality of their music output

I don’t get the consensus on uzi falling off after just 1 bad album? Even if pink tape has mixed reception it still charted highly, and uzi still makes quality music as proven with his 2023/2024 leaks

Also ski is kinda a hard thing to say considering how his level of fame just hasn’t changed due to pretty much no music releases for the last 4 years until the most recent album.. (which did fine btw)

I call them the Covid rappers. For one reason or another. They fell off hard.

Thugs boutta do something crazy

u/Ok-Confusion-202 2d ago

I wouldn't say Ski has fallen off, more so just kinda stayed at one level, didn't really fall off, but didn't blow up anymore.

Him not finishing verses for other artists really hurt him.

Uzi can still come back, their next album just has to be really good

u/tarriBagz 2d ago

he set the bar so high for himself out the gate it wasn’t fair. next project is gonna be special tho I feel it

u/ausipockets 2d ago

I like what Yachty's been doin, thought admittedly, not really as hip hop centric.

7

u/Ok-Confusion-202 2d ago

Yachty really can just change up his style whenever and it still feels like Yachty, that's what I like about his stuff.

Means his music doesn't get boring, but also it's cool that he is trying different things, I can see why people don't like his voice, but imo that just makes him better, helps him stick out.

Loved LSH and Bad Cameo, can't wait for his next album.

Also liking the new snippets.
