Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Unless you were expecting Chris Brown to literally be Mike idk why people claim he's underachieved, breh been one of the most successful artist this decade

Dude has had atleast 2 or more platinum singles every year from the start of his career up until 2017.. that's not even including his features. dude is still doing doing full out Arena tours, he's more than good lol
 
I'll never not respect The Green Machine's voice. It's unfortunate most folks only know him for his singing when I know him for being an absolute monster with Goodie Mob

Hahahaha said:
Yes, I've heard him rap but I'm not an expert when it comes to his music or Goodie Mob's. I've heard enough though.

If you ever wanna hear some of my favorites check out the Goodie Mob's "Still Standing" album. GOAT verses from Cee-Lo. The intro itself is crazy
 
Just goin over that intro in my head got me really thinkin' how lost folks can be if the find out about an artist at the wrong time
 
One of Cee-lo hardest verse on I Refuse Limitation:

Well I woke up this mornin with the same frustration from situations like these/
Got a call about some work from one of them temporary agencies/
No high school diploma or any college degrees/
I can't enlist but they'll draft me if there's a war overseas/
Oh please/
Of course I can slice some OZs/
But see I'm one of those aspirin MCs/
And uh bills are due so at times I'm doubtful and everyone disagrees/
But I'd rather struggle on my feet than to live on my knees/
So my uniform tight workin all night at Mickey D's/
Got about 90 dollars and some change after the government get they fees/
These minimum wages ain't enough to feed my babies/
Purposely these limitations on black folks opportunities/
So I quit cuz I'm tired of being one of those overworked/
underpaid employees/
Stop carin at all went on and did a few small burglaries/
It seems like my face done turned into forgotten memories/
And I ain't gettin away with nothing because I know he always sees/
But see right now I need to see how I can get this here dope sold/
I done stuffed in my pocket as many rocks as it can hold/
They gon get high so I'ma get my money even though it's freezin cold/
Now how many times you done heard this story told?/
Believe it or not, it's some very intelligent junkies/
But dependencies is eatin away at they souls like disease/
Anyone can turn into somebody who covets and envies/
Unequal economics can easily make you some enemies/
And the crime rate never drops to the cops ride around in threes/
I knew he would have killed me if I did anything but freeze/
They found the rest of the dope in some nearby shrubberies/
In a dimlit room being questioned by these authorities/
And they gave me some time in correctional facilities/
And now my woman's gotta take on a man's responsibilities
 
Cee-lo on Tears of Joy :pimp:
Chris Brown is extremely talented, anyone else wouldn't have made it back from the Rihanna stuff. This dude has been dancing, singing, and rapping for almost 15 years. I think people forget how deep a catalogue he has. While his music hasn't grown much, he consistently makes hits and almost always sounds good on a track. His last album with like 40 tracks was actually wavy too.

No BS :pimp: :pimp:
Loyal :pimp:
New Flame :pimp:
Pills and Automobiles :pimp:
