When conscious music was dominant in 88 - 92 > When the streets had a hold on the culture

Benny the Butcher would be the type to beef with Chuck D.

Good example of why his career has gone nowhere. Let's be real about something. "The streets" never fukked with Griselda. Their appeal has predominantly been built among white fans who sit around complaining about "real rap" being dead, and the remnants of black fans who also sit around complaining about "real rap" being dead. Those are the people buying the merch and vinyl. And they are the definition of rap nerds and dust rap fans.

The streets are listening to Youngboy, drill, and trap shyt. They do NOT give a shyt about boom bap.

Streep rap, lyrically and content wise, started to regress since the late 90s onwards.

Now? A 16 bar verse from Canibus or DMX would be classified as "nerd rap" because mental retardation in the form of mumbling and singing replaced bars. Which is why Benny never gained notoriety in this era. This era is filled with dummies.

Keef ain't no different this nikka stays releasing music and makes most of his beats

There's still a lane for street rappers but they don't make songs that the masses of casual listeners will gravitate to. The only recent exception was Pop Smoke. Benny et al should focus on how 50 and Pop crafted hooks and songs.

They can’t even come up with hard 90s style hooks, so they have no shot at 50 style hooks lol. The new Mobb Deep album really made me think about how bad modern underground rap is at songwriting. Bad hooks, no melody, beats that sound unfinished. The hook should be something catchy that a live crowd can yell. I see zero effort from Griselda and others on this stuff.

East coast dudes don’t want to hear it but the real successors to 50’s style are Youngboy and others who can actually write a hook. Pop Smoke figured it out too. And that’s what the streets predominantly listen to across the country. Chief Keef always has good hooks too.

Benny should start making music with some sense into it, he did for the election but fans probably don't want to hear this stuff.

Yo this joint is serious. Thanks for the tag breh, I owe you rep.

Spinna rarely disappoints on the R&B/ Soul vibe. The last joint on this EP slaps

This project's vibe reminds me of some Vinia Mojica from the 2000s. I know she was down with Spinna's Beyond Real camp.
