Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Maximus Meridius]

Try to get into Earl last few projects but even over Apollo Brown beats he just sounds so lifeless.
And if he sounds pumped he sounds like he’s struggling.

Folks was tryna compare him to a young Nas. I never saw this great rapper he was supposed to be. He stood out to a generation that was listening wack rappers.

Never rocked with Earl like that. People who tried to compare him to Nas were tripping, he never had Nas’s charisma.

This forever my jam tho

That whole Oddfuture movement was overrated. Had people saying they can "Wu-Tang the game".

Great point about standing out because everyone was wack and yeah people like to compare everyone but I never saw a Nas
He does still have his own lane I’ll give home that I just ain’t gonna sit shotgun much longer.

I have never heard the Nas or Wu Tang comparisons

Earl nice tho and Tyler can produce. The Internet got a nice sound as well. Then there's Frank Ocean. I can't really say OF is overrated.

 

[SlunderKingpin]

Best thing to come out of Odd Future is The Internet & Syd.

Earl nice but the comparisons were strictly based off his age

If they kept they're early formula they woulda been big

That's bout it

Honestly I’m not in to Frank. I get his talent I just never could palate his albums for long lengths. It is what it is. He is probably the biggest besides Tyler out the crew.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Odd Future was cool for what it was. People always try to liken something classic that’s familiar, but truth be told a lot of talent stemmed from that whole movement.

. Heat rock

 

[addict4sneakers]

Earl is legit. The Nas comparisons come from him being so nice at 16. He ain’t Nas though.

He’s just a super weirdo. I don’t think too many people in this generation can out rap him but he’s probably going to stay in his weirdo shell

 

[JRaW’d]

he never had Nas’s charisma.

??? Lol

 

[robtoofresco]

??? Lol

The apostrophe or the charisma?

If the latter, cadence would probably be a better would if you want to get picky.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Nas’ pen is charismatic. That’s all that matters

If y’all could erase an artists album from their discography, who/what album what it be

I’ma start with Fab - From Nothin’ To Somethin and 50 - Before I Self Destruct

 

[Maximus Meridius]

If Earl was a good rapper at 16 why couldn't just be a good rapper at 16?

You can't just compare any kid to Nas.


That's like when people try to force this Zion/Lebron comparison just because Zion and Bron are both athletic. Like lets forget all the other stuff.

That Dreamville Costa Rica track had me like

What is Cole doing?

 

[wavycrocket]

Youngboy the closest prodigy to Nas.....
