Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[raider5]

The more i listen to Euphoria the more I **** with it

cant quite say the same for Push Ups IMO.

I’ll double down and say if we’re in Round 1 of this battle, and its Euphoria vs Push Ups, KDot got round 1. Like That was just the warm up/pre-battle, i dont count that here. Just a prologue to get us to the beginning of this fight.

I dont need to let this one digest. It aint no recently bias. KDot winning at the moment.

Again, your point is invalid.

dawg you are agreeing withe me.

you don't think no role modelz is misogynistic or its way less than other rap songs.
and yet J Cole gets extra scrutiny about it and articles written on it.

that's the point, that's the double standard.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Suge Knight must be Canadian.

I actually agree with this take. Gen z (especially the women) have become so colorist these days unlike the past where we use to stick together. My grandma was basically white skin and in Mississippi in her days she was basically treated like a negro. Like is Rosa Parks, Malcom X, and Fredick Douglas not black? Its not like Drake is Tiger Woods. He's always been proud and claimed his blackness

 

[dacomeup]

Will people do Drake like they did Ja Rule?

People like fans? More white people consume Hip Hop now than ever. None of these beefs are stopping the machine for two guys of this stature.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

For you not to understand calling phony people out shows you either not black or maybe are but have a disconnect.

Now that I'm familiar with your history it adds up

Awwwww look at my stans, sending each other lil gossip love notes about me.

the sensitivity! the pearl clutching from the "anything goes in rap beef crowd" i love it

 

[wavycrocket]

This is so cap its not even funny. If you are actually outside. you know most people feel like Drake has multiple classics

Been outside for his entire run. Got some buddies that are lifelong Drake fans. They wouldn’t even say this

Multiple? lol. That’s always been the criticism with Drake. All this time. No real classic album

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

What can they possibly be beefing about

One of the more annoying things in rap. Sneak dissing without saying names.

 

[letsgetit22]

there's less of them then there is for Drake or J Cole.

and add on the fact that Kendrick bills himself as an explicitly political rapper.
imo there should be more scrutiny not less.

When did Kendrick bill himself as a political rapper? He mainly makes songs about his own life experiences

 

[cragmatic]

Take Care was trash

Yawp. I don’t see what y’all see in it.

Colorism been around since we got here

I think drake is lame. He can’t help how he grew up. That’s not on him. Not going to call him less of a brotha for something he had no control of.

However. He’s still a lame talented wave rider that is talented enough to dabble in genres and make money for the machine. But he’s still lame. I don’t have a solo drake song on my phone.

Jcole has this same issue, way more has been written about his alleged misogyny then Young Thug for example.

by any objective measure Jcole is less misogynistic than the average rapper.
but he is treated more seriously...because imo he codes as middle class.

I think the distinction there is more that the likes of Young Thug, Future etc aren't attempting to put out some kind of social critique. It's rather obvious they don't care, there is no discussion to be had there.
I do agree with your overall point about white music critics and hiphop though.

[letsgetit22]

The lightskin angle is dumb because Kendrick didn't say drake isn't black enough. He said Drake has insecurities about his blackness, which is very clear in how he moves.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I didn't know folks were saying that

I thought it was the ***** clearly cosplaying Black culture

 

[JMB10215]

So Far Gone is not a classic brother? November 18th still doesnt get played weekly in Houston clubs? Take Care is not a classic? Why not. I guess thats my question. What is Drake lacking in those projects that dont make them modern day classics?

 

[dacomeup]

The white boy **** is funny because it clearly bothers Drake. It’s a beef, I’m not trying to hear colorism takes from Suge Knight here .

Your one of the few because at the end of every year when people are showing their top played artist on spotify wrapped and Apple replay he's always in folks top 5. He's the most steamed rapper. lol somebody is cappin. (Not saying you are, but in general)

 

[tr1ll]

Bruh who is phoning in replies???

 

[JMB10215]

I guess Future doesn't have a classic either then huh? Kendrick must be the last rapper to have a classic album in most of you guys opinion.

I been felt like Kendrick

Might be venturing into controversial territory here, but is pointing out that someone grew up in a single parent household with their white parent outside of the culture and country really colorism?

Can’t knock someone for their upbringing. You can knock them for how they represent themselves though.

You’re proving how Drake ends up as the most streamed lol.
