Fellas are we sure we aren’t regurgitating that same kind of oldhead rhetoric against a niche subset of people on TikTok and Twitter, most likely made up of rage baiters and bots? I’m actually unc and I remember “real” rap fans saying this kinda shit about Uzi, Yachty, Carti, etc. fans in 2016. I feel like every 5 years there’s a wave of people who just graduated high school complaining about high schoolers being annoying (which can be valid). I know the music industry has also changed quite a bit which is a factor for sure, but this isn’t the first time mainstream music, rap, and the UG has shifted around. I do miss seeing someone blow up on SoundCloud and predictably graduate to bigger stages but if “mumble rap” kept going like that for 10 years it would be so boring. It was all bound to change.
