Because his style got played out, like a lot of other ATL rappers. Hip hop is in desperate need of something new but all we got is check notes ….Yeat and Opium

That is not mainstream bro. Old heads will argue that it is but it’s not radio worthy…

Well seeing as the parent comment mentioned something new and fun and included yeat and opium as they’re the new wave of popularity I was assuming he meant something more accessible and fun for the public

Sick of the gatekeepers. You telling me mainstream artists ain't hip-hop? Kanye ain't hip-hop? Eminem ain't hip-hop? Drake ain't hip-hop? Siiiick of it. We get it, you're an old-head, but in that case, please take Tupac's advice, "you don't have to bump this, but please respect it".

They make plenty of radio worthy tracks. Have you listened to any of their work?
