modern rap with millions of views on youtube

[Maggot]

BANGING. song of the decade. multiple millions of views in days.

That's not rap, that a ballad. Sounds like a cheesy boy band to me.

With respect I am not sure you have been following the evolution of soundlcloud/emo rap very closely over these last few years.

If a greyhound evolved into a chihuahua I wouldn't still call it a greyhound. Not even an emo greyhound.

They're quite well armed, so if they want to call themselves rap, then fine. I'm not going to tell them that they're boy band pop really

Shout out to the locals, we got brilliant talent, stuff the Yanks.....

1.6m will do

 

[Sasaferrato]

My grandson showed me one yesterday that had over a billion views.
Descapito 6Bn views.

On tablet cannot link.

 

[rutabowa]

It is probably unnecessary to link to Despacito. Did you enjoy it tho?

that is good to hear.

I got quite into mexican trap a few years ago. def fits into the "juvenalia" category tho, the lyrics are a bit silly, but it is a tune when you hear it on big distorted hi fi speakers at the michelada stand in a market:

Lady Leshurr clocking up some 5 million plus views

 

[rutabowa]

this is a bit raw

 

[rutabowa]

Tune... jimmy wopo from Pittsburg

 

[rutabowa]

I dunno how I missed a tune this massive. This is so heavy... play at 0.75 playback speed for maximum oof.

 

[Sasaferrato]

There was at least an element of talent and performance involved at one point.

There was.

It is no coincidence that the Stones, Dylan, Neil Young, Elton John et al are still flourishing five decades since their musical emergence.

Today's shit will be forgotten by next year.

Edited.

Actually, it isn't bad. I was assuming that it was the usual type of bollocks he plays me.

 

[PaoloSanchez]

Was a bit unsure about this one on first listen, but now I quite like it. The flow, the bars, the three drone shots, the transitions, the piano, the references....nice bit of creativity...
JME usually delivers and imo does so here...



...not quite half a million views for that particular video yet but it's only a month old. and the channel itself has 157 million views so I think it qualifies

 

[PaoloSanchez]

Time for some JME binge watching now, lol...

Powfu - Death Bed.

96 Mill views on YouTube in two months
454 Mill listens on Spotify in two months
4.1 BILLION views on TikTok in March alone.

I quite like it, it reminds me of a 21 Pilots, Grandson, slacker hip hop vibe.

The lil uzi vert album that came out earlier this year is surprisingly good

That sounds like a song on a dating site advert

TRIUMPHANT return of ski mask the slump God. This tune is amazing, if a bit short. Really unique style, and I love his crazy absurd lyrics

 

[rutabowa]

Ski Mask is def my current favourite rap artist... as well as his tunes being unique and fun he also seems like a proper nice cool guy and doesn't do misogynist or gun lyrics (of course I like a lot of tunes with misogynist and gun lyrics also though but i can listen to his songs with no guilt):

 

[rutabowa]

by contrast Drilla is the hottest name in chicago drill atm and his breakout tune (well all his tunes) is 100% gun. it is a diss track of 51 dead people. pretty morbid obviously but it has something no doubt.
