Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

“See that’s my thing. Why do we care about crossover when this was supposed to be FUBU? THIS ISNT THE ****IN GRAMMYS! “

I’ve been trying to phrase this for yearsssssss! Bruh said EXACTLY what I’ve been thinking!
 
Deeper Than Rap and Teflon Don are better than GRODT.

Meeks Dream Chaser series is better than any Banks album or tape. I had all that G-unit **** back in the day and a lot of it ain't age good. Cashville and Documentary are the only ones I can play right now top to bottom.
Nah man. We talking albums here, not one of those guys have anything on the level of what I mentioned.

we talking 50’s debut here which sold 10+ million along with banks and bucks who dropped extremely solid debut projects.

literally talking one classic along with two strong 4/5 efforts.

those guys had the rap game in a stranglehold in their time.

if we talking mixtapes as well prime g-unit stuff is coming before everything else mmg or solo stuff they dropped as well. (50 cent is the future, power of the dollar, g-unit radio, mo money in the bank)

we gonna just agree to disagree when it comes to Ross cause I could NEVER see what y’all see in him.

son is super “southern artist who raps better than the norm and has a great ear for beats so we overrate the **** out of him”
 


Again as i said yesterday dudes get Stuck in their own memories, and what was popping off in Their region, and what resonates with them then dismiss whatever doesn't fit that as not being part of the "Culture". It seems like a lot of people are trying to correlate the "culture" with the "hood" & nah it's not going to work like that in a battle being viewed by 150-200k battle.

The same way ****** who grew up in the south have a special place in their heart for a lot of those Cash Money B-sides, there's women who Look at those Beyonce songs the same way... are women not part of the culture?

Yea Fat Joe's lean back was A Huge Billboard record, as someone who was hitting teen clubs & block parties when that dropped.... That **** did not leave rotation in parties for a few years. Yea ****** might have not caught a crazy Dub to Mario, but that song was a mainstay in parties for years on some end of the night ****

People acting like Scott Storch played a bunch of Eminem Not afraid type **** that just runs the billboard charts & is never uttered in public.... Nah a big majority of the songs he played are 1000% part of the culture as well & resonated in several different ways.

I seen dudes talking about Still Dre like it was a Justin Bieber record :lol: , there's more to resonating with black culture than making club bangers & **** that Knocks in the car, Storch material is just more expansive

You saw how Dream and Sean Garrett we’re strictly R&B???

Swizz and Timbo both do R&B amen Rap.

MANNIE IS STRICTLY RAP! They should not have even orchestrated that matchup.
R&B and rap are urban/street culture. Period. IDGAF about no crossover songs. Them people don’t matter. You wanna use Beyoncé’s impact with women, well, we using “HA” for the n_ who was in the trenches!! A lot of our uncles, cousins and brothers risked their lives slanging dope and protecting home. So, them CMR songs are like heirlooms
 
The battle wasn’t who had the bigger hits or the most number ones. If that was the battle, we could have just posted charts and not had it all.

I was judging the songs based off how much I played them when they released up until last night. I don’t care if you think Storch was better but you’re saying that from a very biased ear. I’m very knowledgeable about Storch, Timb, Dre and Mannie. I’m playing those Mannie songs still. Those Pop and R&B and gimmick radio songs, I’m not playing today and haven’t in years. Storch’s music was more for the radio and the masses than Mannie. You can’t say Mannie lost when you’re not familiar with one side of the battle.
