In a genre that went from creative, charismatic and larger-than-life rappers to generic, sheltered squares and lames....the new cat that comes out the gate with authority in his voice, confidence and ambition in beat selection...

is gonna get haters.

With the exception of Lil B, NOBODY is fukking with Rocky in the charisma department. Haven't seen that kinda charisma from a new cat in several years. You can't blow up suddenly and sustain four years of interest in your music without being charismatic as fukk.

I imagine the haters are gonna come through and make their usual irrelevant comments, but the evidence is there.

A lot of cats hate cause he's not a conservative rapper who sounds like what shyt has been sounding like.

I absolutely agree. Most people are conservative and enjoy conservative shyt. Fact of life.

I've always preferred unconventional stuff, especially as I've grown older.

Specially old people.

It depends. There's an interview somewhere that talks about this. Rocky mentions that the first people to really fukk with his music were old cats.

When Live.Love.ASAP came out, a lot of young cats were looking at it like: "huh? what is this garbage?" I know those kids. It was older cats like myself who were going: "holy shyt, this tape is incredible!"

There are two types of old cats: the ones stuck in their time period, and the ones that want to evolve.

Perhaps the age thing is irrelevant but I've just met a lot of older cats who don't like any new rapper except cats like Cole and Kendrick. However the amount I've met is obviously too small to generalize their opinions.

Actually ScHoolboy Q and Tyler the Creator got the most charisma of the new school, but yea

ehhhh

Neither of those cats are fukking with Rocky. Rocky has (or I should say 'had') a warmth about him, which I find necessary for charisma. Q and Tyler aren't warm people like that. Q seems like he forces his vocals and is naturally a quiet, withdrawn person.

but yes, both of them have more charisma than Drake/J Cole/Kendrick/Wale/Big Sean/Young Thug and whoever else these Coli cats stan.
