On Saturday, June 17, Spotify's Head of Urban Music, Carl Chery tweeted a message about Hip Hop's stagnation, which got Trippie Redd's attention.
Hip-Hop needs new leaders who are intentional about dictating where the music and culture are going. It feels like artists either don’t think about it or don’t want that responsibility. We need it tho. Who’s gonna step up?

"Hip-Hop needs new leaders who are intentional about dictating where the music and culture are going," wrote Chery. "It feels like artists either don’t think about it or don’t want that responsibility. We need it tho. Who’s gonna step up?"
Trippie responded to the message and believes Hip Hop needs to do a better job of coming together.
"We gone bounce back tho. We let country and Spanish music take over cuz we too divided," he wrote.
What's your thoughts on this?
In case you didn't know, there hasn't been a number one rap album or track on Billboard in all of 2023.
