I would disagree with you on the streets not supporting bad music, but it's more nuanced then just good or bad. The streets loved Cash Money right? That was wack to me. The streets loved 50 right? He was good on the mic an GRODT was good, but to me he shouldn't have blown the way he did. Then (or around the same time) Dipset blew with a dumbed down Cam and hi no talent lackeys. Some of the music was very entertaining, but it wasn't quality hip hop. It was more a guilty pleasure. Who had the streets next? Gucci? Wack. Jeezy? Meh. Seems to me the streets have had their heads up their asses for over a decade. :whistle:

you like a certain type of music and youre going off to far on personal opinion. every rapper you just listed are legends or on the cusp of it.

ive never seen a rapper rise to the top on a street level while putting out bad music. theres artists that i never cared for, but i cant think of one example of an artist rising to the top on an ACROSS THE BOARD street level while flat-out making bad music during their rise.

i stress the words ACROSS THE BOARD because theres alot of garbage south chit that pops off down there. and plus alot of towns across the country are liable to have a wack local hero here-n-there. but on a national level? nah.


Can't say I've ever heard a Boosie song. Was he on wipe me down? Can he actually spit or is he more in The Gucci category

i dont know how to answer that because gucci can actually spit when he wants to. boosie as well.

but their music isnt for you. i wouldnt even waste my time or your time by trying to put you on to them. youre not missing anything.

but be ready to kiss the ring when boosie touches down jack!!!!
