Lil Uzi is waaaay bigger than Mac Miller right now, one of hottest rappers in the country. I know, crazy.

I guess it's more of an indictment on where pop and hip hop is at now. Explains why Fetty Wap was the gig last year.
Turn-up trap music.
I view Mac Miller as a ten times better artist than Lil Uzi.
 
Lil uzi has had a few hits and current top 50 single out now, not a bad get at all. Not close to a drake or wiz khalifa but defintetly popular.

It's amazing how far mainstream hip hop has fallen, never knew how lucky I had it in the 90's.

If you are talking about national and worldwide popularity i dont think hip hop has been bigger than it is now.

I'm so old I was pumped back in the day when they brought in Stevie Ray Vaughn and the musicians actually PLAYED instruments and sang. Ok back to Diarra....

No it's pop music. You can call it hip hop or rap if it helps you feel manly.

meh "pop" music has changed. Yes, he seems to be popular with young kids, but it doesn't make it generic pop. This dude has two songs with over 110,000,000 million plays on spotify. In case you don't know what that means... it's a metric fton
 
"Music when I was a kid was better rabble rabble"
 
Nas, Biggie, Kool G Rap, Pharoah Monch, Biggie, GZA, Rakim, AZ, Jay-Z, Beasties, Public Enemy, Big Pun, The Roots, Brand Nubian, Eminem, Outkast, Goodie Mobb, Ras Kass, Heiroglyphics, Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples, The Pharcyde, NWA, Tupac, Common, Busta, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Redman, Big L, Tribe, De La, KRS-1, Fugees etc.

The hip hop of my youth was incredible, bums me out this is what the younger generation wants to hear. I still hear all sorts of good rock music and other genres but the overwhelming majority of mainstream rap I hear is garbage. I know there must be talented people all over the place but don't understand why they don't make it.

Did you just leave Run DMC, Wu Tang, and Lost Boyz off that list?
