The Next Leaders Of Rap 

Keem is definitely in a good position but I think he has to develop a bit more, but to be fair in a few years he could be there

Ya dont count out Baby Keem

I’m excited but a little worried

He deserves more attention

That’s actually huge

I could definitely see this happening, one of the fairest comments.

they are all mid

@@duringmidnxght this dude don't know ball

Jid is 33 and denzel is 28 already. Im sorry but this is not happening.

@@randomlemon3689that don’t mean nothing, it’s never too late to take over. Many artists have started late in their careers.

tyler been up there bro. Hes basically one step below drake, cole and kendrick. We need someone NEW or fresh faces

This one is coming up a lot and I see the vision

I could believe that but definitely not a leader

@@MattMiranda oh for sure, like he might have a comeback, but wont like be a leader for sure

Carti being top 3 would amaze me

LOL@@MattMiranda

I don’t think Yatchy is consistent enough but Baby Keem is an interesting idea, would depend on how he develops as an artist.

@@MattMirandaI mean cmon how Yachty has not missed so far in 2024 and he had no misses 2023

@zaydz_ idk if I would agree he hasn’t missed, but he is talented for sure

Thanks! Will do!

Who would you have picked?

we are talking about ppl already in the mainstream@protegeprod

JID, The Weeknd, Tyler The Creator

I am really familiar with Aaron May and think he is on the comeup but top 3 would surprise me, but do like what he is doing for sure. I think JPEG is probably a bit too experimental but that’s could be exactly what makes him surpass everyone so who knows. Kenny Mason is an interesting choice, I could really see him make a push into the mainstream but feel like he has to develop a bit. Denzel is fantastic and might make more sense than Ski, I’m just curious as to what Ski is doing with this next album.

@@MattMiranda yeah I meant more so that Denzel, JID and Kenny going to be the next group but idk if they will dominate for a long time like Cole Kendrick and Drake or like Nas JayZ and Andre. I think their run will last for like 2-5 years then Redviel and Aaron will take the role. Peggy is a sleeper pick but he could definitely get in there. Icecoldbishop is really good too but he has a lot of development left considering how heavy he leans on the untitled unmastered era of Kendrick

all 3 are randoms.

@@duringmidnxght you cant be talking bro you get like 100 views per music video who tf are you 💀

@@flyersfan28-2 but i make music. unlike u. also buddy I got 40k monthly listeners

I am very excited for his album and to see what he has for us

imo the album is a 7, plenty experimental songs@@MattMiranda

ski fell off 3 years ago

@@duringmidnxght🧢

@@ThatGuy-pj2kh wdym cap? buddy look at the numbers and the hype

Thank you! More on the way

Carti has a style that kills his chances imo

I wouldn’t be shocked if a UK artist was top 3

Hell no 😂

Uk? Their accent is just not for me

SoFaygo is interesting, I would like to see what happens with him

I want to see how his music changes in the future, I could agree but need to see more.

JPEG is experimental to a degree that I think hinders him, but who knows maybe that’s what will make it work.

do u ppl even listen to ski rap, he is fire just watch his freestyles

randos

@@duringmidnxght “i just spent bands on the mf jacket” fire line bro…

@@uchenna8885I’m a huge ski fan but he nowhere near Kendrick

I think that could be true for sure. I think JID is far from his peak and is going to take over for a while, he is the only easy pick in my opinion. I just wanted to come up with who I personally think is most likely but of course this is going to be very controversial no matter who I put. Figured it would be fun to make for the conversation, disagree or not.

Idk is definitely going to. I think JID will bring Kenny Mason, IDK, earth gang and more up with him if he pops

Little sims is a wild pick but I haven’t heard her music in a while so you could be right. Doechii is incredible though

@@MattMiranda I have not heard Doechii in a while! What ive heard is really great though. I need to check that out now! With little simz i honestly Think she is reaching kendrick level. Her last 3 albums have all been incredible, especially Sometimes i might be introvert, which i Think is a top 10 hiphop album of all time, might even go as far as saying top 5. I know its a controversiel statement right now

I can’t tell based on the report but j didn’t even know he got arrested in the first place. CS fire tho

I might talk about this again, lots changed already

Now that you mention it, 21 does have himself in a similar position to JID where drake could pass him the torch. Not sure if 21 has enough versatility though.

Tyler could stick around, always has been able to reinvent himself

ok bud

I am amazed at how much Carti is mentioned, Tyler as well but I get that one more

I think yeat has a style of music that won’t ever have him talked about as a leader of the genre, like Lil Uzi has always done numbers but no one would put him near the top 3

Easily the hottest take. I just think he is a guy who does huge numbers and vaguely can make songs for everyone in a similar way to drake. At the end of the day the video was just for fun, but you gotta tell me who you would pick.

Alongside him, Baby Keem

A Kanye comeback would amaze me.

It is but doesn’t get enough attention at all

At the end of the day it’s an opinionated video 🤷‍♂️. I think Denzel makes some sense but no shot on Vince

Cordae would need to overcome the industry pushing him as corny, possible but hard

Cordae just can’t be the second jcole clone otherwise no one will care about him. But I agree and he’s young

@@MattMirandawhy does everyone think he’s corny

I would've liked to hear more from him

I can’t hate on the Denzel pick

Carti is wild

yeh jid is it but idk about anything else

I’m personally not a huge polo g guy but he makes music for multiple demographics, has done insane numbers, and is talented. Ski I think could go either way, we’ve seen a very raw version of him but now it’s been 5 years and I think he will either stick or disappear. Could be a bad take no doubt, who would you have picked?

the comeback lol

Carti and Uzi are wild imo but to each their own

@@MattMiranda but they are the influence of everyone rn even drake and travis

They’re already done dude. Uzi is washed, Travis has been cheeks, and carti is still mid. You really just named 3 trap artists?

He got atleast 8 years

I didn’t hear of that but you could be right

Wym?

@MattMiranda I don't really see nobody placing Kendrick, Cole, or Drake as far as the "longevity" of being a relevant rap superstar, most of the new rappers that are being hype up as the next "big 3" by the media have either have a promising debut carrer and a year two later there next record doesn't live up to the previous release and later they fall off and never come back (ex: DaBaby, Lil Baby, Polo G, Lil Tjay, etc) or they blow up all the sudden thanks to tik tok and a year later they fall off. With social media platforms still existing and affecting the music industry by supporting mediocracy (such as tik tok) it's almost impossible for a new or non-mainstream artist to have a long term carrer (I'm talking 10-15 years at minimum). Times have changed, and mainstream hip hop right now is dogshit. It's not the same anymore, unfortunately. Right now, I don't see anybody having the potential to replace the big 3 besides maybe JID, but he's been in the game for 6-7 years, so he's not really new so🤷(I still fw with JID music though)

JID is more like Kendrick than Cole imo

I feel like he isn’t as versatile as you’d need to be to be top 3

Scarlxrd is an interesting one

yeah.. i know he's serious so talented and just keeps levelling up and trying different things all the time, but not alot of people talk about him as much anymore.

@@whaupdawg scarlxrd is doggy

@@duringmidnxght 🐐*

@@whaupdawgdoesn’t he just scream? He only really makes 1 type of music and it’s very hit or miss

Don’t sleep on Ski

Travis makes some sense

​@@MattMirandaTravis has been making music for almost 14 years bruh he is not next gen

Travis isnt next gen hes the old gen

Carti would really shock me, he has a style that I feel like wouldn’t be the top. Tyler is so unpredictable and could easily be one of the top ones no doubt.

@@MattMiranda carti is already at the top

I don’t think either of them have a style that will have them in a top 10 conversation

@@MattMiranda buddy yeat and carti are already bigger than all 3 of them combined. ski mask fell off 4 yrs ago. we are in the era of the decline of lyrical rap. lyrical rap will always be a thing but not what a random person will think of when they think of rap. polo g also fell off 3 yrs ago after the release of hall of fame.

@@MattMiranda also the whole underground rap scene is influenced by yeat and carti. the underground rappers will be mainstream in the next couple years. nobody is getting influenced by polo g, jid, or ski mask.

@duringmidnxght I don’t think either have a style that would have them looked at as top 3, even with ski he isn’t known as a lyricist but he has a style that would fit. At the end of the day it’s opinions though, this stuff is impossible to predict 🤷‍♂️

@@MattMiranda yes they would cus lyrical rap is dying
