CAN YOU NAME RAPPERS THAT YOU...

[BlackDroog]

J. Cole, Joe Budden, Drake, Eminem, A$AP Rocky, Wale...

I will never say any of them are wack but most times I feel nothing when listening to their music. Maybe it's the voice or the flow, or the beat selection but I can't listen to a full album from any of these guys and never have been able to do so. All are very talented MC's and some of the best in the game. I respect their skill but don't like their music much.

Kendrick and Drake... Especially K.Dot tho, i listened to section 80 and wasnt feeling it despite all the hype it got on the boards here/sohh. And i know thats hes lyrically talented its just something about his music that doesnt do it for me. Same thing with drake, dude can spit but i dont wanna hear all that crybaby, simpish shyt

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Wale - I've listened to most his mixtapes and albums, yet nothing abt him gets repeat rotation from me

Lupe - I remember I liked the cool and fl (fl2 sucked IMO) and he spits some real shyt, but I just haven't connected to him as a artist

The roots - I'm a fan of some of their sound, but never fully could get into them

 

[Loud Still Coolin]

This is a great thread shouts to the OP. I can't get into Kendrick Lamar or jcole. I kno j cole. And schoolboy q I tried to like his music he's just trash no disrespect to the west coast. I jus can't. I'm late on Kendrick but his shyt is dope. Oh yea and the gunplay hype here is suspect. And I can't do any of joe buddens music either lol

 

[Da Jungles]

For this thread

Someone will come across this in about 3/4 years and we'll be eating very handsomely from the artists/producers in here if they shyt on other artists.

kendrick and macklemore

i'm shocked no one has said Eminem since you guys love to talk about how most of yall can't relate to him

but me personally it has to be Immortal Technique for the simple fact that dude's music just doesn't appeal to me but i know hes talented as f*ck and Rass Kass just cuz his flow doesn't really zone me in to him.

 

[Shadow King]

Wale. I think it's his flow more than anything.

 

[George's Dilemma]

Drake, very talented, but gay and corny as hell. Not to mention phony.

Lupe like a couple posters mentioned earlier. Talented, conscious, has integrity, but his music is like listening to paint dry.

Eminem is a lyricists' rapper...

You'd be surprised at the amount of lyrical hood nikkaz who listen to eminem to check for new flows, rhyme schemes n shyt like that...

Like breh above me said... The older n more educated I get; the more ignant music I like...

Im from NY n Im 25 years old... So I grew up listenin' to the technical punchline rappers from the east coast durin' my teens; lloyd banks, dipset, D-block, grafh, A-team, etc...

Nowadays I dont feel those rappers like I used to... Today I bump Chief Keef, Gucci Mane, a lotta southern cats n go back to listen to a lot of older southern music I didnt listen to at the time...

wow, that's very interesting...

could it be because you see them just having fun with hip hop and not taking themselves serious like most NY rappers do??

I guess Im startin' to appreciate other aspects of the game...

Take Gucci n Project Pat as examples... A lotta upnorth nikkaz be shyttin' on them sayin shyt like they retarded bamas n they lyrics is nursery rhymes...

But none of them could ride a beat like Gucci or Proyect Pat... N that shyt takes either some serious skill or just natural talent...

When I used to write I could literally rhyme entire bars syllable by syllable, but I never developed a unique flow like Gucci or Pat or could I never ride a beat like Drake... I guess thats why I stopped tryin'...

I also think the south has stepped their game up a lot... Southern nikkaz sayin' NY rappers tryina steal their style, when in reality they've come a long way thanks to their biggiest artists takin' a lot from NYs pen game...

Lil' wayne, T.I. without the accent, Rick Ross, 2chainz... These guys write n sound nothin' like southern rappers from the past..

Guess we all feed off each other...

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

Tech N9ne (first album I ever copped from him was Anghellic and I know most call it a classic, I still have yet to listen to it all the way through in one sitting)

Big Krit (never saw what the big deal was)

Wale (great singles but I just never have him a fair listen outside of that)

Redman (I listen to method Man and fukk with their joint albums but I lose interest otherwise)

 

[LucaBrasi]

Royce, Joe budden, I used to fvck with Eminem but after I graduated elementary realized how corny his music was. I can't put on a Meek Mill song unless I'm at a party or in a car

Mob deep even though they used to make good music and I know they skilled and talented I was never a fan

 

[Big Blue]

Definitely Big KRIT for me.
