[Dont@Me]

Torae stopped saying it, has a whole song about it.

this is what first came to mind when reading this thread.

does Oddisee use it? I dunno

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

Rakim but he used it a few times though

 

[HoldThisL]

[Virtuous_Brotha]

UK tip, but Stormzy announced he's gonna stop using it from now on.

said it's lazy writing.

Thats a good point, nikka is just a quick punchy word you can add on to stress emphasis on verses, rappers should be more creative.

Show me some of their projects I haven't used the word this year. I've been calling everyone brother. Then they look at me like I'm in the NOI.
The conditioning is sad

Not all people are going to feel comfortable calling others brother unless they have an actual relationship that supports that.
Nothing to do with conditioning.
