You're right. I think Action is a terrible rapper in general, even if he didn't sound like Ghostface.
Completely different topics is a stretch, but yes - that is a clearer demarcation.
But you have to understand, I'm a beat and flow guy. Action Bronson flows like Ghostface. This shyt is undeniable. If he didn't, no one would be talking about it.
And he picks out colorful/soul beats that are semi-Wu Tang-ish. This was a huge problem in the beginning. Not so much anymore. Action is starting to rhyme on his own style of production but it's been too little to late.
Sacario, Your Old Droog, and Earl... all trash. I don't listen to clones. especially bad ones.
I hate when people post that as an example. You're talking about Ghostface 20 years into the game. His voice has obviously changed and he doesn't have the energy he once did.
When I say Action Bronson sounds like Ghostface, he sounds like Supreme Clientele-Bulletproof Wallets era Ghostface. It's not the same Ghostface that's on Meteor Hammer.
But it's been done before. and way better. That's my point.
Action Bronson is fukking garbage. Don't act like people don't have legitimate concerns with him appropriating Ghostface and just being a garbage rapper overall.
Believe me, I know Action is nowhere close to Ghostface in the storytelling department. or flow dept. or beat selection. He is shyttier than Ghost in every way imaginable.
But you can't deny that they give off very similar vibes. And hip hop is about VIBES. It's not really a lyrical thing. The greatest rappers are memorable because they bring a certain vibe on wax that no one else can bring. You could repeat their verses, structure your rhymes like they do and still not get the vibe.
the way Ghost flows "Hold up, we at the opera, Queen Elizabeth rubbing my leg, had ketchup on her dress from a whopper" gives a very similar outlandish larger-than-life comic-booky hilarious vibe to "sitting butt naked in the Lamborghini, reading the newspaper"
Y'all are either dancing in circles trying to avoid the obvious or not intelligent enough to see the nuances.
Why are you playing stupid? You're the one that mentioned "because Ghostface said so." That was my point.
Are you a stan? Because I can't entertain discussions with stans. It's such a waste of time. All they do is deflect and twist words.
Are you semi-retarded because in my initial post in this thread I criticized this album as subpar. A stan would've gave it a 5/5. Since when is being technical being stupid ? To quote someone would mean to post an actual quote, which there was none. And the way you're quoting and arguing with 5 posters who disagree with you, why dont YOU stop playing stupid and just admit that your real agenda is that you dont like him. And if you dont like him as much as you say, why are you even in a thread talking about him.
