Here's why Lil B and ASAP Rocky are the best rappers of their generation (the details)

[Big Woadie]

felt like a facade. Especially when you mix in all that fashion Killa bullshyt and calling himself pretty all the time. He just seems to be all style and little substance

couple of lightheared suggestions/corrections

FELT like a facade = IS a facade

JUST SEEMS TO BE = IS JUST



Let me be trendy with it, put the smiley of A$AP Pretty Baracko, see how I stylized $, makes it look cool when you postin it on social media tryin to appear cool to your nerd ass friends

Asap needs to cut Based God a cheque for sharking his style.

The point being is that neither one of them cats rap about any real shyt. Which is cool for some people and I no issue with it. I like my dose of ignorant rap shyt Future, 2 Chainz... But you giving props to these cats while shytting on J. Cole and Kendrick??

I think Lil B raps about some real ass shyt. But even if you don't agree, you're missing my point. Lil B and ASAP Rocky aren't trying to be the deepest rappers ever. They're quite clear about this. Why would I judge them for that, especially when it's obvious that they're trying to be dope in other ways? Redman was never trying to be the deepest nikka ever. But he was funny and dope as hell in his own right.

I'm saying: the new nikkas that claim to be deep, and are selling records based on them being 'deep', aren't remotely deep. And that's a problem.

In my opinion, there isn't a single rapper from the new school that's deep to me. In the sense that I get wowed hearing them rhyme. Not ONE. Unfortunately, that's where we're at with this hip hop shyt.

If I wanna laugh, I check out Lil B videos. If I wanna feel relaxed and cool, I listen to Rocky's shyt. But when I wanna hear real shyt, I'm listening to old shyt. Nas, Ghostface, Jeru, etc

Your whole post was full of reasons to invalidate Drake, Cole and Kendrick ....

What is there to discuss ? You've already made your mind up that these 3 don't meet whatever lofty standards you've set so......

You are just ranting ......


Nothing new here :pharrell:

I left the floor open to discussion. And some have posted their opinions, good and bad. So what's your point?

Clearly I'm interested to learn more, and possibly change my perspective. You're the one that's made up your mind already. Don't assume I'm like you.

You are a stan

You wish I was a stan. It'd make it easier for you to ignore the real ass shyt I'm saying.

Like I've said before: I'm no one's stan. Check my history. I give props where they're due and take em away when they're not. I've shytted on many of my all-time favorite rappers' later catalogues and gotten into debates over it: Nas, Mobb Deep, Ghostface, etc.

Just because I took a wet diarrhea shyt on your favorite rapper doesn't mean that I'm stanning someone else.

Let's keep things in perspective.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

I'll say this about Lil B, he's actually like 100 different rappers in 1...but you can't even compare him to anyone at all really.

 

[Tilesp4p]

I mean not even just ASAP...but there is alot of rappers who came and bit Lil B's style son. The whole shtick where he names his song after people "ellen degneres" "miley cyrus". I mean nikkas like this Migso have dam near made a career off of that lmao..aint nothing wrong with biting style though...hip hop is a collective..everybody shares and inputs theire own lil flavor.

"Here's why Lil B and ASAP Rocky are the best rappers of their generation" is a definitive statement.

Not only that, you went on further by invalidating Drake, Cole and Kendrick ......

but clearly your interested to learn more, and possibly change your perspective right ?:pharrell:

The reason rapping about a bunch of nothing worked for Redman is cuz he could rap circles around most other MCs. You got have a certain skill level to be able to get away with that. Curren$y raps about a bunch of nothing too but he's far more entertaining that Rocky is to me becuz he's more relatable. Id be lying if I told you Ive heard one Lil B song
