Jay-Z shouting out Playboy Carti = #1 reason why rap is in the state it is in

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

never gone be mad at legends showing love to the young boys...fukk that gate keeping shyt. the generational wars is a bigger problem in hip hop..playboi carti aint stopping lyrical nikkas from doing numbers...all this ruin hip hop talk..meanwhile, nikkas that can actually rap setting streaming records.

theres room for all of it and honestly we need all of it. nikkas need to lighten up.

Exactly nikkas be with dikks up they ass Ole uptight ass nikkas

Talking out your ass , Jay album will do numbers regardless lmao. If he really was wave hopping he would have mentioned someone like Uzi or Yatchy since they bigger lmao .. He genuinely likes the song

I never said he wouldn't do numbers but nobodies really anticipating a Jay album in 2017 so he has to go the dikk riding route. He did the same thing back in 2013 when he just happened to conveniently become best friends with Justin Timberlake for a year

Rap fans are the #1 reason rap is in the state it's in.

Cats always blame everyone and everything but the obvious. Hov shouting out dude or a Nas cosigning Iggy doesn't stop you from supporting shyt that you feel should be popping. Cats let cacs and women dictate the culture by not putting their money where their mouth is by supporting good shyt like the other two, then wanna complain about the state its in


Other than Kendrick and Cole, who also have a lot of the aforementioned fans and a great machine behind them, who else gets supported like that? So many times I've seen cats on here shyt on the state it's in, but in another thread will flat out say why would they purchase an album when they can get it for free

you keep running with this nobody anticipating the album narrative, even though there is obvious proof of the opposite. Where are you getting this from?

"Shout out to Maya Angelou. Shout out to Kim Kardashian" - A rapper

"Y'all bitter nikkas is bitter, just cause he shouted out Kim K dont mean it's gonna effect Maya Angelou's money, there's room for both!!" - Rap fans

Giving talentless people with no skills "room" or a lane or a shout out for any reason is dumb, it's undeserved, why is Jay-z saluting legends and name dropping Playboi Carti? Think about that. Oh, Playboi Carti's song is on the commercial for Tidal, got it. Disgusting

oldheads shytting on the new guys and vice versa keeps the genre stagnant

Carti is vibin music for fly young nikkas ofc you old ass nikkas don't get it ... He's a trash rapper but it's a vibe



Smoke a pound to this and shut the hell up

enjoy rap's race to the bottom of quality.

this generation has no problem with ghost writing, or trash rappers. n1ggas read freestyles off phones now

there's no more checks on actual skill anymore so any dumb n1kka can get in.

but as long as the beat snaps right?

Man stfu lmao , Kendrick Lamar is the hottest rapper out right now ... fukkING J.COLE IS A TOP RAPPER in the game right now... If that awful music that Cole makes is selling that tells that people still care about "lyrical" nikkas

Ghost writing has always been a thing

Trash rappers have always had fans that supported them

nikkas in the 90's be spitting verses from they album and called that a freestyle


I just told your dumbass it's a vibe not the beat

 

[Airfeezy]

Old nikkaz gotta chill Carti album isn't bad at all and I'm from that 90's era stop acting like everyone we liked at that time was super lyrical some it was just fun music

Exactly the 16 bar rapping nikkas are still doing the most numbers, all of this is overblown.

It shows a lack of integrity on Jay's part. When people still anticipated his music he was still shytting on other rappers with songs like DOA. Now with an album about to drop and no one really caring I guess he needs to hop on the bandwagon

He needs that young money (no pun intended).

 

[PhonZhi]

Yea, I had this thought when he did that 21 Savage entendre on that Khalid song

All Im saying is Jay has to do different things these days to drum up anticipation for an album whereas back in the day all he had to do was drop music. Lets put it like this: his albums are more anticipated than any other rapper in his age group would be. But at the same time he cant compete with the like of Kendrick or Drake so he has to move different. @A Tribe Called Quest ™ like you said nobody in your age group cares for Jay. So what does he do? Name drops Playboi Carti. That definitely got you to perk up

 

[CrimsonTider]

Truth. Too many people that we respect cosign trash, lets you know all of this shyt is business, all of it. When I heard legends saying it was fine that Drake has ghostwriters I knew this shyt was all about self interest and business

so because y'all don't like the song that means Jay z shouldn't?

I'm having a hard time understanding the point of this thread
