Despite some colorful details ("Handcuffed in back of a bus, 40 of us") Deck's verse on C.R.E.A.M. is more defeatist than political imo -- an older person teaches him the value of hard work ffs

Anyhoo, I'll play along through all this bullshit because I'm bored, just to get facts straight because you're just using your fucked up raccoonesque perception of reality, the following are cold hard facts:These were Metacritic's top rap/hip hop artists from the 00s (as you might be aware they have these scores by summing different review scores from popular zines):

No use Moka. It's common knowledge that raccoons have tunnel vision, making it common for them to cherry pick.
― Evan, Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:33 (nine years ago) link
I'm sure you'll continue saying that they are previous generation artists or whatever but the truth is they are still the ones getting the best reviews and sales. I'm sure in your 15 year old world it seems like the only artists that matter to other people are Minaj and Drake but there's hope out there. Hang in there, buddy.

What about streaming, mixtapes and YouTube tho? Metacritic is OK, but I don't know if sales is that representative of the RT successful + popular criteria.

Looks like for YouTube Vevo, it would be Pitbull, Chris Brown, Nicki, Black Eyed Peas, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Drake, Nelly, Soulja Boy and Tyga, depending on what you label as rap/hip-hop.

my question was why.
1. rap became pop. pop music is rarely political, esp since I dunno, end of Vietnam War era.2. it became passe, seen as corny to be overtly "conscious"/"political". this goes for just about every genre that once wore its heart on it sleeve.

I don't think it's wrong to note that rap is different now, just that all the ways and reasons for it cited by RT were basically wrong
