The best post ever in NMD raps was when someone posted the ridiculous feature list for Jesus Piece and someone asked what it was and cool buff guy said it was just the lyrics to game's latest hood banger.


Hate it or Love it is an all time classic but I agree with Robert Analog, Game seems like the biggest dickrider of all time

That's how I feel about it too. I think I've been spoiled by mixtapes like Flatbush & UA where it's more like a free album with no dj. The Gunplay tape is good but out of a little over 40 minutes there's probably at least. 5+ minutes of the DJ talking over it / running records back.

It doesn't help that most of the time the DJ is mixed louder so you've got the song going and this dude breaks your eardrums yelling about how you're listening to a Gunplay song on the Gunplay mixtaped titled "Gunplay"

I might buy the album because I love weird hip-hop like this.

Here's something even stranger (also owns, except I can't speak Mongolian so I've got no idea what they are singing about):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuVLjAhsw-w

Apparently hip-hop has been picking up a lot in Mongolia among young people as internet access has picked up. These guys decided their version of hip-hop needed to better represent their culture. So they added polyphonic throat singing.

Yo.. welcome.. not white person.. with that said, I'm the kind of N*gga that only listen to Conscious Rappers.. A rapper who keeps it 100 (that means real, legit), he doesn't give you a flashy show with bells and whistles, and he doesn't brag about how much money he has. He doesn't brag about money, hoes, drugs, drug life, being in the Trap, thots, the struggle, etc.. No spinning rims none of that. A conscious rapper is someone who is REAL, I mean REAL REAL. no corny one liner bars, no cute lil plays on words, nothing commercial, The Only REAL Conscious rappers I could think of to give you a good example, would have to be Eminem (Marshal Mathers from Detroit Michigan).

a rap thread shouldn't be a loving hugbox

Alright now we have something to discuss. I'm probably a bit older than some of the people on this thread, but outside of catchyness and entertainment certain artists (lets use the given examples of Waka Flocka, or a French Montana, or even sometimes in a 2 Chainz) I don't personally think their music adds a lot of value towards the art or for the culture most of the time. That doesn't mean that it can't be good, or entertaining, or fun!

I grew up on Biggie and Pac and Big L and Big Pun (golden era) but what those guys all had that an alarming amount of rappers lack is a knack for telling a story behing their raps. There are a lot of guys who have some great production or energy behind what they do but that's it. Even a guy I listened to non stop in Cam'ron changed his style very deliberately from a danger zone Big L style rapper into a nursery rhyme simplistic style of rap. Know what? Dipset was catchy and fun as all hell. I'll give you another example: Kick in the door, which is one of my absolute favorite rap songs, is definitely about some ignorant rear end poo poo but it tells a very specific and vivid story (albeit using some very negative depictions of gun and violence towards women). Pac was also one of those artists who on top of being an actual poet (if you havn't read his books you should) and a really powerful actor and rapper, penned some extremely powerful songs that really resonate to this day. Honestly me being a "Rap Purist" may be a function of being of the age when people tend to start families but I have no problem rationalizing what those rappers meant to me growing up and how they were important to society, but some of these other artists will be a little more difficult to be apologetic about.

With that said, rap is intertwined with a whole lot of poo poo that isn't positive and is sometimes damaging, but at the end of the day that isn't always rap/hip hop/r&b's job. Music is perfectly fine about being just about enjoying it for whatever reason, for its ignorance, or how it makes you feel, or just to roll some weed up to...whatever. I can't get enough of ASAP Rocky, Pusha T, Slaughterhouse, Battle Rap etc etc etc, but at the same time I don't personally think some artists that make music right now are very talented either lyrically or in the content of what they say. For example, I'm not a Gucci fan but I know a lot of people in the thread are. I'm a Childish Gambino fan, and I know a lot of people don't like him on the thread as well, but the purpose of the thread is to expose each other to what we think is good and people can make their own decisions and opinions from there, no?


All and all I just want rappers to put together coherent pieces of work and stories again, and if possible tell about how they see the world positive or negative. I bought Joell Ortiz's album and I can't wait for Big KRIT's albums because I think they have unique and interesting views and things to tell about their lives and how rap is intertwined with it.

TLDR;

I will be blasting Hot Nigga in my car on the way back home but I know that it's not really indicative of the rap that I love. But gently caress it sounds great.

Sorry for being all old man Ebro here and seriousing up the thread, ill go back to sticking to linking after this post, I swear.
