"Complex’s 2026 Hip-Hop Media Power Ranking maps who really moves the conversation. In a year where rap has no dominant stars or overarching storylines, the media figures matter the most."

"Power here means cultural influence—who can spark and steer viral rap debates. Everyone on the list was also asked to provide a temperature check on the genre—what they love about rap right now, and what they hate."

Fashion and Music has a huge barrier of entry when it comes to getting started, Whether that's financial or just having access to the tools you need.

I had the opportunity to explore this topic with Chicago Fashion designer and artist Menace4hire

The issue is not the interviews. The issue is the audience & interviewers who prioritize gossip and gotcha moments over actual substance

FINALLY

[Joey @gothamhiphop]

Lil Wayne speaks on AI in music:

“My friends were a little worried, they said ‘You can ask [AI] to do a verse like Lil Wayne’ and so I did it: ‘Let me hear a verse like Lil Wayne’…I did it on a couple devices…They all sucked. We gon be okay” 😂

@andrejgee I think another problem is that the internet has turned everyone who pushes back against an artist into just another hater - so you never have to take accountability because you can hide under “those aren’t my fans just haters” when really bro has a horrible take

[KayHon @xKayHon]

This is my new least favorite interview question of all time….

[Kurrco @Kurrco]

Jack Harlow says he went deeper into Black music with 'Monica' instead of “retreating into a whiter genre”:

“I love Black music.”

“Of course I’m hyper aware of the politics of today; that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found.”

"There's plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes y'all are taking."
