those artists are all abt the convergence of 'made creatively great music' and 'made reasonably popular music' -- like, none of these dudes are will.i.am, but i don't care about that kind of "hip-hop" anyway. but none of those artists are actually niche in the way that idk even Danny Brown is.

and whiney, you listed Lil Boosie ....

every single year since the beginning of time has good music that fits into this. but thank you so much for telling us that "swag surfin" made 2009 extra special 4 u
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:21 (fourteen years ago)
and those artists i listed (aside from like AZ who is obviously niche, but i was talking more jacka/max/boosie/gucci) were all in the midst of UGK-type slow burn popular but below-the-media-radar careers.
― somebody call the brinks truck (D-40), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:21 (fourteen years ago)
re: Boosie
Wow, you're right, the year was defined by it's 23rd best selling artist. You know who was also probably around the 23rd best selling artist of a given year?: ORIGINAL CONCEPT

that not-at-all reminds me of Fucked Up and Thee Oh Sees
in conclusion, 1988 is hip-hop's greatest year

Max B is obv more popular than fucked up; I'm just saying thats how it looks compared to like the Foo Fighters and people that actually make records that chart on Billboard
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:43 (fourteen years ago)
I know the way "hip-hop works" in your world of young people is that Max Biggavelli is "street famous" in ways that makes Lil Wayne look like Aesop Rizzle
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:44 (fourteen years ago)
with all those undisputed classics
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:45 (fourteen years ago)
looking at that list whiney posted, it's a lot of legacy artists. like, guys who had been popular a decade earlier. imo this doesn't really say much about which emerging artists were hot in hip-hop then, particularly since most of those artists weren't releasing traditional CDs but instead lived primarily off of mixtapes, which naturally aren't reflected in those totals, and includes boosie (who released several mixtapes IN ADDITION to his album) and Max B
jacka of course suffered the bay area curse, although Tear Gas sold reasonably well considering

deeper than rap is good !
i don't really get why the biggest selling artists should define hiphop's best year.

wow it's almost as if we were having a conversation about the biggest artists in a particular year instead of what emerging artists were hot back then
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:46 (fourteen years ago)
Or more specifically a conversation about when the emerging hot artists and the biggest selling artists overlapped.
― Bam! Orgasm explosion in your facehole. (DJP), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:49 (fourteen years ago)
Which they did in 1988 and 1993 for the most part, and no fucking way in 2009.
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:50 (fourteen years ago)
you're making the assumption that biggest selling artists = biggest artists

or that eminem or will.i.am's popularity is anything but tenuously related to their status in hip-hop
when was the last time you heard 'love the way you lie' played on a rap station?
