I feel like if we go through the whole Vlad feed right now, we're going to be like, damn, there's not a ton of rappers coming through at this point.

And from my perspective, yeah, there's a lot less up-and-coming, interesting rappers to interview.

But if you go for people between the age of 20 and 30, yeah, it's slim pickings in terms of who's the big superstars at this point.

Doesn't seem incentivized to do so.

That's one thing I was thinking watching Universe 69 is that as much as hip hop really turned on this guy at a certain point,

he brought a lot of hip-hop fans in.

There's probably a lot of people, especially in Spanish-speaking countries that kind of relate to him, et cetera, that he was probably their way into paying attention to not just 6ix9ine, but all the other SoundCloud-adjacent rappers at the time.

And, you know, that's a great thing.

If him or...

or Drake, or any of the superstars over the past 10, 20 years didn't exist.

That's just less people being exposed to rap and becoming overall rap fans.

Although I would say that even beyond that, there's just a decreased interest in hip-hop, generally speaking, it feels like.

At least two kids.

Did you have multiple kids with Offset, right?

Yeah, and that almost says something positive or negative because it kind of says a lot when the fan base for, like, the most popular street rapper is not necessarily, like, extending to the fringes of people outside of his culture.

Because, you know, even, like, I've seen a lot of subcultures die.

I'm a BMX dude.

There was a point where I looked at the vert podium for a contest and realized, oh, everybody who's meddling in these contests is well into their 30s.

That doesn't bode well for the future of this activity when people are just kind of aging out of it.

And I think that even when I was going to bring my wife to the Youngboy show before she eventually opted out of it, she said, I don't even know a single song.
