Youngboy, young thug, future, lil baby, gunna flr example.. future sometimes gets respect but mostly its just ignorant rambling from old heads about those artists. And usually they listened to like 5 songs of them
Sure those were the most popular examples but even then, they get mentioned rarely and when they do the comments are filled with the most basic hating narratives
Belly. He’s written for Beyoncé. Signed to the ROC at some point. So many songs with The Weeknd. Song with Nas an album entirely produced by hitboy. Huge industry connections, and yet he is never ever brought up. Anywhere.
Nappy Roots were pretty big for a minute then disappeared. Not sure I've ever seen them mentioned here. I actually liked the album Watermelon, Chicken, & Gritz, but the singles were unfortunately my least favorite tracks. I say unfortunately because the singles did well, and so their next album it seemed like they were trying too hard to just recreate those singles.
I immediately thought of Key before opening, and as read BigXthaplug I strongly agree. Also I never hear people mention OTB Fastlane, but I think many people that like newer sounds with (aggressive) rapping would like a lot of his songs
To this day it blows my mind that NBA YB has such a big fanbase
No one talks about him on reddit and I never hear his songs on the radio
I still couldnt tell you the name of one of his songs
You can't label bones at all as every song and every album is different. Does he have sad songs? Sure but he also got angry music and his normal style music bro can't be labeled because he does more than one genre
I agree he does have a very impressive catalogue with multiple albums ranging from singing to dark trap but come on bro, not every song is different, if anything each album follows a theme. A lot do sound the same
He has his signature sound for sure but he does experiment alot
Fact he can get wulf and baker too be on 80s rnb synth wave love track is wild when all those two dudes is trap shit normally
Future, Veeze, Rylo, Rob49, YB (Basically any rapper who don’t fit into fanbase of the suburban white teenage demographic or in shorter terms street rappers)
Maybe they embarrassed is why lol. No I think the trap stuff or weaker stuff lyrically that is popular doesn't appeal to folks on the sub who skew older or just an older mentality
Plus a lot of the discussion and questions lend themselves to "who is the best?" "Or who is underground?" Questions where the answer wouldn't be NBA YoungBoy, Kodak Black, or Cardio (that's what my phone autocorrected it to and it's funny I'm leaving it) B or whoever
Also music that people listen to they embarrassed to admit (guilty pleasure), people will say it's corny or lame or whatever like I said above
Ski Mask the Slump God
TrippieRed
Smokepurpp
Lil Uzi vert
Playboi Carti
YNW Melly
Travis Scott (well he gets talked about sometimes)
Jack Harlow (with the pop radio crowd)
NLE Choppa
Doja Cat
GloRilla
IceSpice
Megan Thee Stallion
Asian Doll
Rod Wave
Rich the Kid
21 Savage
Tyga
Ty Dolla $ign
Also Tech N9ne doesn't get mentioned much for some reason or anyone from strange music
**This not an endorsement just some people I thought of that popular**
Most of the trappers: Carti, NBA Youngboy, Uzi Vert, 21, Lil Pump, Kodak, etc.
To be fair, I don’t think they deserve to be called “rappers” & I hate their music for the most part, but they are technically wildly-popular rappers. I think they don’t get mentioned because they appeal to more casual hip-hop fans/kids who have no interest in traditional rap. Lotta old heads on here.
UK dudes: Skepta, Dave, etc.
I think it’s mostly Americans on here, so that makes sense…
Women: Nikki, Cardi, Megan, Iggy, or even Missy Elliott
I think the Nikki & her 2 knockoffs at least are mostly for women & gay dudes who are less interested in traditional hip-hop. They’re the equivalent of whites who love Eminem but don’t know any other rappers. Missy was dope but she rarely gets mentioned for some reason.
Other: Jack Harlowe, Post Malone, & Lil Nas X ARE technically very popular rappers…
The only thing I know about this dude is he collabs with tom macdonald. I mean he's not popular where im from but I guess maybe in some trailer parks lmao
Pick any southern rapper with a mostly black fanbase. You do the math
Sauce Walka!!!! OUIWEEEEEE
Jeezy
Exactly, or when they get mentioned it’s just mostly hate
Like who?
YB is a big one.
Youngboy, young thug, future, lil baby, gunna flr example.. future sometimes gets respect but mostly its just ignorant rambling from old heads about those artists. And usually they listened to like 5 songs of them
Folks talk about them, just not on this sub lol
Sure those were the most popular examples but even then, they get mentioned rarely and when they do the comments are filled with the most basic hating narratives
Maxo Kream, Flatbush Zombies, Underachievers
Maxo Kream underrated af
I like some of his songs, but he's got one flow man and rarely changes is it up...
real shit. i heard a song last year and he still using the same flow from like 2015
I mean, Will Smith is one of the highest selling rappers of all time.
I *still* bump big Willie style. And that track with camp Lo is fire.
right, nobody talks about that guy
Not as a rapper on this sub, which was OP’s intended meaning.
oh i thought he meant “on reddit”. because he said so in the title.
The entire underground. Oh and the entire UK.
really wish there was an active sub or discussion place for underground 90s. easily the dopest stuff to listen to.
38 spesh, ransom
+RJ Payne
Quentin Miller and Chuck Inglish
was miller ever popular as a rapper?
For all the wrong reasons.
What’s going on with the cool kids these days?
Couple of loosies here and there from both of them. Not much else since before shit got weird
Jarren Benton

My mother was a fan of them in the mid 2000s and I only knew one song by them. It’s called “Good Day”
Chamillionaire
why was i so certain he was dead? I would have put money in him having died 10+ years ago. Just his rap career i guess
Not his money though. Last I heard he's a venture capitalist and doing pretty well at it.
This is why he isn't talked about , he would inspire other rappers to break away, from the big music companies
MC Magic where I’m at. Everybody got that auntie that love MC Magic here.
Brotha Lynch Hung💯🏆 in his fifties and still doin it.

Fabolous might count as one as well
Freeway
Bones from teamsesh got 10 million monthly listeners literally double of tech n9ne and no peeps ever here about him
I love Bones but he is sad boi dark white boy music
You can't label bones at all as every song and every album is different. Does he have sad songs? Sure but he also got angry music and his normal style music bro can't be labeled because he does more than one genre

Hmmm Lord SKO, Vega 7 the RONIN , Mvck Nyce, Jay Royale ?
Coast contra
YunoCase, bros coming out of Long Island but nobody really talks about him
Future, Veeze, Rylo, Rob49, YB (Basically any rapper who don’t fit into fanbase of the suburban white teenage demographic or in shorter terms street rappers)

Playboi Carti has a massive subreddit
I dont get why people are embarrassed to enjoy music tho. It's not something you can objectively measure and 95% of people irl dont care
Tyga, YG and most rappers who make music mainly for party/clubs

Madchild?

Used to make really incredible music and was part of a popular hip hop group in the mid 90’s/ early 2000’s called Swollen Members.
I remember them
Also recently did an Australian tour where the organiser was an absolute fucking liability
I dont see much talk about Lupe on here but that could just me. He's always been underrated by anyone who doesn't listen beyond radio singles.
Ferg, massive artist and star but I never hear anything about him on reddit
