When did it become cool to pretend that wack rappers weren't wack?

[Houston911]

Seems like nowadays people are afraid to say "so and so music is cool but they cant rap for sh*t".

Seems like people pretend every popular rapper has skills because theyre afraid of being a "hater".

Its funny because not that long ago, dudes who actually weren't bad at all (Nelly for example) used to get a lot of hate.

It's been going on the past few years. Nobody is allowed to criticize anything. Quality control doesn't exist anymore.
I find it hard to believe people enjoy listening to some of these rappers.

What's your point

Europe has some huge hip hop fans

How does that change the fact that you are euro trash?

Drake Stan getting defensive. As soon as I saw the thread title I knew Drake Stans would get defensive even though Drake doesn't really belong in this conversation.

If you want a clue of the kind of rappers the OP is talking about:

 

[Taadow]

Around '03-'04.

emphasis on club music over street music.

- Li'l Jon & The Eastside Boyz rise to power
- "Laffy Taffy" being a hit
- J-Kwon "Tipsy"
- Mike Jones' inexplicable fame
