Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[tay1]

It's funny how people barely consider Florida the South

Exhibit A

Nah but in all seriousness just how big was Wale supposed to be exactly? He was top 8 most of his career when it came to mainstream hip-hop and been top 3 or 4 on same stage in terms of lyricism. Far from perfect but I can understand why he would be upset since he's actually one of the rappers who tried his hardest to give fans what they want.

1. He tried to be on some traditional hip-hop **** on his first album for the most part but his album (in his eyes anyway) flopped
2. Then he went to MMG (Wasn't a fan of the move myself but I didn't hate him for it) and got major radio real estate (think Ambition went gold), but fans hated it and said they missed the old stuff (wonder where they were when the first one came out)
3. Seems like everybody's getting a shoe deal but one of the guys whose genuinely been into kicks most of his life (even worked at a DTLR)
4. Publications were calling To Pimp A Butterfly the "new black soul" album and landmark moment in music, he's been preaching that **** since Back To The Feature with 9th Wonder
5. Then the African inspired music has a brief surge in the US, yet when he uses it on his recent album people hated it and called him a biter (Even though he made songs like that before he even signed to MMG and is African himself)

He's done some dumb**** and may have some mental issues but I cant blame him for feeling the way he does in alot of situations. Cause it seems like whenever he tries some **** and fails at it someone else will do the exact same thing and get love for it

Well said

Ross got 10+ straight years of consistency. 50 Cent faded... 50s reign was 6 years, 2002-2008.

Ross outlasted him. Ross is a top 10 Southern emcee. Mans aged like fine wine.

My only issue with Ross is, he should’ve cut the OG Freeway Ricky Ross a check. Other than that, Ross is upper echelon.

Ross's ten years of consistency prob dont even outsell GRODT

Id rather have Em's career than Nas's career.

I would expect
The guy who ran from a fight with @ninjahood
To say that

 

[Mr.Guy]

The fight will eventually happen. Calm down
Em's money is longer than Nas's money

I’m sayin

geographically of course, but many dont look at it as a southern state.

U assume
He wasnt getting jerked in his contract by jimmy iovine and dre
Plus whatever he was getting off 50
I’m sure Dre and iovine got a bigger chunk
Not saying he doesn’t have more money than nas
But we don’t REALLY know
Just assume

Do you still listen to GRODT?

 

[numbah1grimey]

You wanna be white soooooo bad

 

[numbah1grimey]

Florida resident as well...

Central Florida might as well still be in the antebellum era. Racist, hick, and redneck as hell.

South Florida is just as racist

I don’t know what y’all talking about

 

[numbah1grimey]

Geo

What? Geographically? Bruh, we got the southern most point in the USA. Florida was a confederate state. Hell, the Rosewood story/city is based here.

Florida is as southern as can be, and VERY racist

Frank gore? Perfect comparison.... renzel top 5

Ross bodied both verses

"Whenever diddy call I know it's bout a big check"

 

[nawghtyhare]

Ross would be top 10 if he came out in the early 90’s
And didn’t have that co thing
If he woulda been honest
Wouldn’t even been an issue

Prime sunny would've got her *** ate on the regular

 

[Proposition Joe]

What does the year he came out have to do with anything

*90's bias

 

[Proposition Joe]

99.99% of rappers that world star promotes on IG are trash and all sound the sound. I heard this just now and it wasn't that bad, he sounds like he actually takes rapping serious
