charli xcx brat out now

the closest thing to the next hip hop superstar

she can do it all, people love her, they relate to her, and shes super super super commercially successful with crazy stage presence she prolly will be
one of the craziest first years ive seen for an artist like this

playboi carti MUSIC out now

also true but new album doesnt seem to have staying power like a superstar's should

superstar dont mean every album u release at every point in ur career is gonna be #1 for months tho, s*** still in the top 10
guy just ran the whole last year with no album

Cus they havent signed me yet

10 new artists a month putting out 100 songs a month each

a great reason why streaming shouldnt be how people listen to music

It’s too many niggas revolving in and out of our faces

The superstars from before everything fell apart have no one to pass the mantle to

Seems like artists lost the ability (or just gave up on trying) to make music that was both accessible and crafted really well.

Like Carti is cool but far from universal. People decades from now will have no clue what he's on about. They'll probably still be listening to Mrs Jackson tho.

S*** needs to be appealing for more than one generation of people to attain superstar status.

Idk man but I hope celebrity culture ends

S*** killed all the greats

There's actually a very simple, correct answer that no one in this thread seems to realize.

It is because of how fragmented media consumption has become over the past decade+ due to personalized algorithms. Not any deeper than that.

It's why overall consumption (in all media industries) continues to grow and grow, yet the share of that consumption occupied by the "top dogs" continues to shrink and shrink. Everyone is consuming different things that are tailored to their specific taste/preference

Idk but I put money shorty about to blow

hold on

can not believe this thread still getting bumped when he just stole my post to piss me off

I got a video on this dropping tuesday

🧢

I’m standing on this btw

There’s a million videos on YouTube that talk about this “Death of Monoculture”

Kendrick and the pop girlies proved last year that potent enough music can still dominate culture and crossover beyond their lane if it's good enough

No way she will be a superstar.

Why not?
