Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Hardly disingenuous. There’s been a lot of complaints about female rap on NT and on other outlets, yet hardly any light is shined on the women out there who are doing their things in a more substantive way. Rhap is fire, but some folks would rather harp on the Megs and Glorillas of the world than acknowledge the former.
I mean yeah that tends to happen when the latter is what 99.9% of audience hears and see. I could go ask 10 women right now if they know Rhapsody and MAYBE two of them would know her meanwhile they all would know the latter... Please stop being disingenuous, y'all always on that 'bu bu but what about' crap when these discussions take place.
 
I rock with female rappers. Always have. Growing up we listened to everybody in my house, so the women rappers got their play as well. MC Lyte, Salt n Pepa, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Da Brat, Missy, Eve, Mia X, Queen Pen, Foxy, Gangsta Boo, Trina, LaChat, Vita, Charlie Baltimore, Rah Digga...list goes on. Some are better than others but I got no problem saying I am a fan of many of them.

Now fast forward to modern day. I feel like there are hella more acts. But some are obviously the cream of the crop (Nicki, Cardi), then you go the upper mid tier Megan, Glo, Sexxy Red, Latto, (City Girls once upon a time). The up and coming acts (Monaleo, Doechii etc) and then you got the joints you just dont take seriously (Ice Spice , Saweetie'nem).

My wife listens to a lot of female rap so Im constantly hearing it, some I enjoy and some I dont really care for. I think its ok to be critical of female rappers. Its hard to do so in this day and age with all the PC talk and you have to really be careful in how you word your critique because then people will think you have something against women. But as long as the conversation is done in good faith it can happen.

In my opinion the content these chicks are rapping about aint too too far off from what was being said back then. Trina and Lil Kim definitely had some WILD lyrics in the 90s/2000's, but they was just talkin they shxt. So when I hear the female rappers of today talk bout how they finessin dudes or how good they P is or other sexual exploits it doesnt ring an alarm because ALL artists talk about this.

The content in women rap is by far a lot less scathing than the things we have to hear men rap about. I just feel a lot of people have certain expectations of women overall, and when they see/hear them talk about vulgar topics (things that everyone talks about anyways) it turns them away, which at the end of the day is perfectly fine, but I think its silly to have this double standard when ppl dont trip off what the guys be rappin about.


Now that you mention it, I ****** with da brat. And that first Missy album is a classic. I actually bought that, but she was singing on there and doing a lot of outside the box stuff.

I'm not even really tryna judge these new females for their content or their image or if the music is good or not. I think they should continue doing their thing. Its just as a male, im not personally tryna listen to it lol. Can't relate. Can't be impressed with a bar when it's about poppin ***** or finessin dudes. It's weird to try to vibe to that imo.

The other aspect is, and somebody brought up men writing for these women, a lot of it just too aggressive and masculine. It's offputting. Maybe I'm sexist or patriarchal or whatever lol, but I'm avoiding loud, aggressive, masculine females in any setting.
 
No.

But when Friday hits, and that Don Julio is opened we need the yambs on go.

See this is another thing i don't get. I hear this come up a lot in these discussions. Playing music I dislike because it'll keep the women you're with happy is kinda lame, borderline simpish. When I was outchea, the **** gonna listen to what we listening to otherwise you can leave and listen to Drake on your way home if that's what you want.

But then again, in those days the chicks didn't really listen to rap music like that, and if they did it was usually some mainstream pop male rapper they thought was cute. Wasn't too many if any female rappers in a lot of that era, chicks wasn't pressed to hear the new eve or Lil kim.

I don't know how to respond to these lawsuits. Anybody can sue. This isn't like DeShaun Watson where it was 300 chicks coming forward in different parts of the country or creepy *** Russell.
 
So do yall actually hop in the whip and put on meg or glo or any of these chicks? Not hating cause they doing they thang and from what little I've heard the music doesn't sound terrible but yall actually vibing to these songs? I just can't do it, can't relate to the subject matter at all and honestly it seems a little weird for grown men to be listening to this type of content. Idk, never could get in to female rappers even back in the day.
I give a fair shot to anybody simply being a rap fan (except Saweetie and Tekashi). I mess with Meg simply being form Houston, but I’m waiting on her to consistently jump on beats I want to hear (Bigger In Texas and Southside Royalty Freestyles are some examples). Sexyy Red is a terrible rapper than has a charm about her, and gets a lot of good production so I can listen to her here and there. Reminds me of La Chat and Gangsta Boo, just raunchy **** over nice beats. I was kind of impressed by Latto’s most recent album, that was my first time listening to a full project from her. She can really rap (though I do feel like Drake or somebody in Drake’s camp wrote several of her songs). That was a good intro to her for anyone that’s never given her a shot. Glorilla’s album was nice too. It actually had a theme and let you know there’s more behind her than just FNF/TGIF type music. She’ll be the one to bring CMG out their cold streak right now. Armani Caesar has two really good albums. She’s basically a less animated Nicki (thankfully) over mostly boom bap style beats, which automatically makes her difgeeemt than anybody else. Prodigy’s daughter Santana Fox is pretty nice too. Sounds like late career Prodigy. Che Noir is the best out of all these women though and should be talked about as much as they bring up Rapsody 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️and I think Rapsody always gets brought up in a disingenuous way in reference to female rap.

Always that the extreme anti-female rap stuff has been weird for awhile, cause there’s various men in rap that people are fans of who sound more feminine than actual female rappers. All that whining and squealing, I know there’s some consistent Uzi, Young Thug, Playboi Carti and NBA Youngboy fans in here IMG_7206.png

In previous eras, it was easier to listen to female rap cause a lot of them came up in crews, so they were easily identifiable alongside the men. Eve (probably my all time favorite female rapper) had Ruff Ryders, Gangsta Boo and La Chat with Three 6, Kim with Biggie/Bad Boy, Remy with Terror Squad, Rah Digga with Flipmode, etc. That also helped them have consistent production. The majority of current women are coming up by themselves. Glorilla, Che Noir, and Armani Caesar seem to be the only ones coming up with crews.

Women rappers are dominating with the club hits for the most part, I mean you still got a few male rappers that are in the fold too like Future, Bossman Dlow , Cash Cobain but a lot of male rappers not making the women dance.

When I go out I want to be around the women dancing, not sitting in a corner listening to "bars". Idc about substance on Friday and Saturday night, we're on pure degeneracy in our 20's play that new Glo and Sexxy Redd.

Once again, I'm not hopping in the whip on the way to work playing it :rofl:
 
it seems like she's going through what SZA was going through but SZA had the numbers to back it up.
I feel like SZA was “willing to play ball” in a sense. Upgraded the body(no matter how you/I feel about it, upgrade), dropped a good album, and ran with it. She boosted her commercial appeal before droppin.

I always thought smash through SZA’s early works. Now it’s “yeah, she can ruin my life if that’s what it takes”. 🤷🏾‍♂️

My guy stop typing just to type. You literally responded to a post of mine where I said more of you all (and more people in general) need to listen to Rhap. :lol:

You can tell when some folks just learned a new word.
 
Almost done with the Tyler album. I respect the musical sounds and production. The content was really good too. However I can only take his rap voice in doses. Been like that for me since he debuted. But I appreciate the creativity. I'm getting old, but damn man can we bring back features list? I don't know who the hell I'm listening to in the songs half the time.
