Im sorry lil bro but you gotta touch some grass: Obviously they aren’t gonna say denzel curry, cus he has zero relevance to mainstream hip-hop culture at large, and obviously they’re not gonna say little simz or dave, cus they’re an american magazine. It’s not about rapping ability nearly as much as it’s about cultural cache. Ask yourself: when was the last time you heard any of those artists feature on an actual popular, playlisted song? When was the last time you hear someone bumping one of their songs in public?
This was def one of those rare takes where the audience & melon are mostly aligned, this list had to have been made by some casual 29yr old "don't call them a millennial they only go by zillenial" dipshit, like why is this list comprised of soundcloud era shit (and even before with cloud shit with chief keef, respect to him ofc), and one-dimensional leaders in their lane that maybe popped off in early pandemic, and kinda fell off.

There are so many relevant rappers in their 20s missing from this list: Key Glock-27 BigXthaPlug-26 That Mexican OT-25 Mavi-24 Bktherula-22 Redveil-20 Mike-26 Flo Milli-24
Duwap Kaine not being on the list is insane, dude influenced the whole underground rap scene at this point, especially the current wave rn and he’s only 22
we got Illmatic when Nas was 21, Ready to Die when Biggie was 22, The Miseducation of when Lauryn Hill was 23, Aquemini when Big Boi and 3k were both 23, good kid M.A.A.d city when Kendrick was 25 (and To Pimp a Butterfly when he was 28), Black on Both Sides when Mos was 26, College Dropout when Kanye was 27, Get Rich or Die Trying when 50 was 28 and on and on and on..... and now these are the best rappers in their 20s??? yiiiikes. they really dont make em like they used to
Little simz is 30, but she has classics at earlier age like sometimes i might be introvert, Grey area and no thankyou, Dave also had some really great Music at earlier age. Baby keem aswell. Jid also made some fantastic Music before turnin 30 i Think.
Jack Harlow is so incredibly bland, like he looks, sounds and raps like a self-insert videogame character who does not talk so you the player can feel like you're the protagonist
It's crazy cause his early ft. game was interesting I first heard him on The homies - leaf wraps, and then an Audrey Nuna track, and then I actually liked the beat on Walk in the park and it's not like his performance on leaf wraps was stellar but he at least had the awkward kid with broccoli hair aesthetic going, and then they took away his glasses in the 2020s and like it took away his powers fr
This list just makes me think about that thing FD Signifier always says about there being no more new rap superstars coming down the pipeline. That hip-hop is "dead," so to speak. I kinda have to agree after seeing this list, at least from a mainstream perspective.
i think judging by the last few XXL freshman lists, there really aren't that many new artists to be extremely excited about or should be on a list like this
You can't just use the XXL freshman lists to judge the talent of today's artists, a lot of new talented artists don't even do the XXL stuff cuz it usually sucks now lol and has for years at this point
Some people don’t realize just how corrupt the entertainment industry can be, the ones in charge can pick and choose who becomes famous, then we hear a bunch of Lil Baby. It’s rigged bro. It’s like a crime against art
A certain great rapper who got fucked over by labels named Lupe Fiasco said manoeuvring your art to fit into what the label wants is “less like putting on some makeup, more like severing the face” which proves more true by the day. They don’t want great music, they want McDonalds rap
Yep, and it's been that way forever. Your Pac's, Em's and biggie's all had the industry backing them up. This is not to discredit their actual talent, but I'm just pointing out it's nothing new. it's just that the industry is picking lower grade artists now with lower self worth because they're easier to work with/manipulate.
It’s crazy how much the general perception of Carti changed in the last 10 years. I remember in 2016/2017 a lot of people still thought he was a bad artist, but now he’s considered one of the best in hip hop
Youngboy needs actual help in life. He’s a very good rapper, but has done nothing but live the street life. He’s has a lot of talent. If he had a mentor like Kendrick Lamar I’m sure his artistry would improve ten fold. Life really isn’t fair.
@@jaysven6153 the edm banger (lovin' lies) somehow sounds even more horrendous now. he added like half a dozen more vocal layers on top of it that drown out the rest of the song
Regardless of how you feel about this top list, I think we could all agree that this list proves that the reason why hip hop (mostly mainstream hip hop) is in a embarrassing and a horrible state as it is rn is because of the lack of new/young talented/new voices in the genre. We really need to move on with the 2010s main figures, Imao we are heading to 2025 (halfway through the decade), how tf are still having the same old 2010s/2000s people (Kendrick, Cole, Drake, Travis, Carti, Future, A$AP Rocky, Kanye, Eminem, etc) been the main figures of what the genre has to offer in the 2020s when rn we should be having new and young faces in the rap scene?🤦 Can we fucking move on people. Thank You
I agree with you! But most entertainment nowadays has entered its Disney phase. They'll stick to known IPs. It's really sad. That's why you're witnessing a lack of innovation and creativity. Things have stagnated and are being regurgitated. As long as we keep consuming.
He did have a number one hit this year. Lovin on me The song was number 1 for 5 weeks . Mabye one of the biggest rap hits this year. Not the best rapper but he isn't irrelevant either.
I get so sick of people still acting like hip hop is some new thing that got invented five minutes ago and only people under 20 know about it. The original hip hoppers were born in the 50s. Old heads (which would now cover people born up to the 80s) tired of getting treated like we never existed.
@@kayfimt7769 I’m pretty sure he was referring to people in their 20s. Bc right after that he said Drake, Wayne, Kendrick etc are all well into their 30s now. Fantano is like almost 40 he has zero say in what 20 somethings do
This is why hip/hop is declining in the mainstream. The new 2020 generation of mainstream rappers are both lackluster in music and star power. The Drake and Kendrick beef was great but they either already have or will be transitioning into legacy status in a couple years. Rap needs more exciting new blood in the mainstream because right now the previous generation is completely carrying the genre.
No one on this list besides youngboy has 3-4 number 1 albums, also with a album with every song on it going gold & 100+ plaques but shouldn’t be on this list? Ok
I agree with carti just for the sheer fact he basically made rage what it is. I agree with most of the takes here curry should be top ten but, idk I'm 28-29 myself and carti just feels right IMO
His recent features were pretty good at least for the most part most of them is why the songs blew up in the first place, all red is a song from 2021 that was hailed as a grail, his record wanted him to drop, same with rockstar, pop out and potentially 24 songs, Carti is definitely never fried musically, I love all red but I can see why some people think it can be stale since it’s just future, but songs like meet yo maker yvl g wagon and ect are great with the outer type beats but it’s a shame most surface level listeners will only hear what’s presented to them, which i cant blame them but y’all couldn’t experience wlr v1 & 2 truly amazing but it got scrapped for the most part, I think all of his recent songs been amazing but obviously I know some people prefer the rage beat hyperpop Carti or the ur the moon typa content, but I definitely don’t ever think Carti is coasting type of artist, he just wants to make music people can enjoy and him staying with a select sound is never gonna happen that’s just not how he is, Carti would never and won’t ever be a lyrical artist, songs like over, location, 24 songs they employ a feeling rather it be excitement, rage, sadness, or retrospection, i adore lyrical artist but I think people underestimate how a song just makes you feel, listening to location and over still makes me wanna cry same with 24 songs I think a lot of people forget that and take Carti as one note which is a shame it’s underselling his discography a lot
This list is garbage. I love Carti, but Denzel Curry and KOTMS2 has been on repeat for me since it dropped. Baby Keem got robbed of being far higher imo, and half of these rappers qualify as cringe/one tricks that couldn’t go bar for bar with Denzel Curry, Mike, (Mach-Hommy if he revealed his age) redveil and honestly Ecco2k
Yk fantano, your content is genuinely quality. First video I saw was a Drake review and as a Drake fan I remember thinking “this guys an idiot.” Next thing you know I’m crying laughing at you responding to your bad take videos 😂😂 keep it up man! Much love
This list made me realize that a lot of the up and coming talent that SHOULD be dominating have passed away (Juice Wrld, Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion, Lil Peep)
@@undergroundkingz7969 4 artists whose EARLY mixtapes and albums - that were made when they were children - are STILL dominating numbers wise. My point is that if they were living, they would be near the top of this list. Also have you heard the meet the woo mixtapes?
Go for it. There's loads of older rappers these days, and even then, 30 is still very young. Rappers like Jpegmafia and JID are in their 30s, and Danny Brown and Freddie Gibbs are in their 40s. Most of them didn't get tons of fans until they were already in their 30s as well.
I think he deserved a spot because even if you only consider that album, this list “heavily weighted the last 2 years” That said I do see why he isn’t here. Dixon is handily one of the most versatile and exciting new rappers, he just doesn’t have a big footprint yet
Music is in trouble, I guess because I'm older but that list was mild. I remember when songs made you feel a way that could change your whole mood. Now it's like EHHH OK
Fantano acts like Lil baby is too old to be on the list when he's LITERALLY A BABY. SMH fantano this anti-baby behavior cannot stand.

Baby Keem got robbed of being far higher imo, and half of these rappers qualify as cringe/one tricks that couldn’t go bar for bar with Denzel Curry, Mike, (Mach-Hommy if he revealed his age) redveil and honestly Ecco2k
IM SO GLAD DOECHII MADE IT!!
What happened to rap man? My lord.
No Young Thug? No Kendrick? No Lil Wayne? No Nas? No Ice T? No Grandmaster Flash?
😂
Yb should be number 1
Yk fantano, your content is genuinely quality. First video I saw was a Drake review and as a Drake fan I remember thinking “this guys an idiot.” Next thing you know I’m crying laughing at you responding to your bad take videos 😂😂 keep it up man! Much love
This list made me realize that a lot of the up and coming talent that SHOULD be dominating have passed away (Juice Wrld, Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion, Lil Peep)
You named 4 artists who’s music is aging horribly.
@@undergroundkingz7969Pop Smoke’s music still hits.
Literally never heard a song of his that didn't just sound like an alternate take of Dior - RIP tho @@CoOl-yc6er
@@undergroundkingz7969 4 artists whose EARLY mixtapes and albums - that were made when they were children - are STILL dominating numbers wise. My point is that if they were living, they would be near the top of this list. Also have you heard the meet the woo mixtapes?
I feel like a bunch of people who would be on this list and in their 20's are dead
I want to rap and make music but I’m 30 and I feel too old to do so; although I do feel I am talented
just rap bro just go for it your still young and either way u can start whenever
@@peter_fartbuckle Thank you so much Peter I appreciate you
Go for it. There's loads of older rappers these days, and even then, 30 is still very young. Rappers like Jpegmafia and JID are in their 30s, and Danny Brown and Freddie Gibbs are in their 40s. Most of them didn't get tons of fans until they were already in their 30s as well.
@@MasterTangerines Thank you; I will take that to heart I appreciate your comment back.
@@ensightanime no problem man i’m a fellow rapper my names not actually peter fart buckle idk why i made my name that but
when has complex ever been right about anything
Yea this is thee worst list I’ve ever seen holy shit
I love this video. I get so many recommendations.
No McKinley Dixon? I'm so disappointed.
He has 1 good album tho
I think he deserved a spot because even if you only consider that album, this list “heavily weighted the last 2 years”
That said I do see why he isn’t here. Dixon is handily one of the most versatile and exciting new rappers, he just doesn’t have a big footprint yet
I was shell-shocked to find out Chief Keef is still in his 20s.
Lil Yachty definitely deserves his spot, especially for those Karrahboo bars
Music is in trouble, I guess because I'm older but that list was mild. I remember when songs made you feel a way that could change your whole mood. Now it's like EHHH OK
you're not wrong at all!
Ur jus burnt out unc u pushing 40😭✌️
They literally just looked up "top 20 most streamed rappers in their 20s" and to make it look not so obvious they put Jack Harlow down to #19
ion think bossman dlow and doechii fit that category
Remember when uzi said omg i found my birth certificate and I was born in 1995 not 1994…. dude is 30
When you so heavily disagree with a list, you should make a follow up video with >your< list
