everybody in a$ap that wasn’t rocky
but especially ferg immediately s***ting the bed after trap lord
Big krit smh
Krit’s an interesting case bc I feel like in terms of his music and who it was catering to (southern rap nerds) he’s exactly as successful as you think he’d be. Like I think he was always supposed to be a curren$y-level artist, super solid fanbase but never huge.
For some reason his label decided he should’ve been in the convo for rap’s next superstar that was big in the 2010’s but his lane is way too niche for that imo
Didn’t XV get in trouble for doing something with a minor and everything for him went away
I always thought BoB would be a mainstay in pop rap but he went too crazy
I really thought Jazz Cartier would be huge
I wonder how Pnds life would have been if he kept the song Work among others.
Tinashe I also thought would have been a star

Tinashe had a huge hit this year.
BOB def f***ed himself with the flat earth s***
and XV fell off by time the second wave of mixtape rappers like Cudi and them came around.
I mean how was actually going to follow Down on my luck, keep dropping moderately successful house tracks for Europe? He followed it up with a ye collab his music just didn’t connect with people
Traffic dissipated as a concept
Charli’s breakthrough is a perfect storm of the fact that there’s zero good mainstream pop artists right now. TSwift has been flopping like crazy and Sabrina is a two-hit wonder
Sabrina got 3 hits
Allan Kingdom.
Kevin Abstract.
Two fake "different" niggas with mid talent
Kevin Abstract still tryna breakthrough fr, it's crazy...bro is a labrat he tryna take any path in the maze to the cheese
& that fake emo album was ass. S*** was powdered milk, s*** was stepped on parmalat not crack

it was downhill from trap lord, such a great debut smh
he kept a summer hit for like 5 years tho
Raury
Him wearing that dumb ass industry plant shirt at the XXL cypher f***ed his rep and he didn’t really have a large output
It’s crazy that this guy was one of the biggest blog era rappers out there, what happened man

The fact he has the same manager as Tyler and still didn't break through is hilarious. He tried copying his whole steez from day 1.
jazz cartier
88glam
Jazz Cartier damn thats a name i didnt hear in a long time
It’s cause he’s still put in that box of being weird for some reason. Why? I have no idea
Nigga listen to cracc era beat and imagine him playing that for like veeze carti or boston richey lmao
Id love to see it but how would the typical mainstream rapper rap on those given their versatility/skill level lol
Big krit smh
ngl i respect him for staying local forever. hes a much much better j cole
“Hey d***wads, you gotta listen to my new artist, Saigon.”
they did saigon super dirty too
wiki got f***ed several times by his group projects falling through. Ratking died and Secret Circle never materialized. hes been on a downward trajectory ever since. im a massive wik fan and it saddens me to say it
Don’t know about up next but Amir Obe and Johnny Cinco two artists who come to mind that I thought would have made it into the motion of the semi industry at the time that just went away or stayed regional rather in cinco case
Key! Is someone who i thought woukd have caught a situation. A lot of these like troy ave and key are people who lingered in one era so long to the point where the next era came before they really solidly stuck themselves in our minds, or rather just didnt get “the deal” in time
Amir was so good man
