DANCEHALL IS REALLY THE WAVE FOR THIS YEAR (TRAVIS SCOTT ADDS TO THE WAVE)

[A1aaa]

yo that lil wayne verse is disrespectful

sizzla had the audacity to still jump on it

 

[Art Barr]

The whole rap game been biting vybz kartel and reggae dancehall artist before vybz went to jail or was implemented.
The whole explosion of autotune use was to capitalize on vybz kartel biting.

Problem is they usually don't mix dancehall with good music. Imo...
And Travis is a trend hopper so I'm not even surprised.






that's wassup Gibbs' flowing in Jamaica mode like it's nothing

nikka Gibbs sound horrible and rippin off dmx on here comes the boom.
By once again biting and just changing the word that rhyme.
like most of his records biting chicago Westside smoke and ride music.

kartel had 1000x marketable personality than mavado. even the dikkhead hipsters at VICE were fukking with him.

i'm sure if kartel wasn't locked up and got his visa issues set up, he and drake (or some big american artist) would've been doing some big things.

I think they would have tried to keep kartel a secret even if he was not pinched.
All cause island controls and meshed in with universal.
Imo, island really does not want reggae to permeate from the native.
All because they can capitalize better when they head fake.
like it is coming from some original American domestic artist place when it is a lie.

I disagree but you can guess that from my avi already
instead of ripping off I would rather say he pays homage like directly. I can hardly imagine that he though people wouldn't know that line and just tried to steal it.



If we can go a little further off topic: What I like about Gibbs most is his versatility, that imo he sounds good on every kind of production.

Miseducation was mainly old school sounding, sometimes boom-bap like
Midwestboxframe was just a cold gangsta rap mixtape, wouldn't say it had one style out of being gritty.
Cold Day in Hell was similar with more trap flavour in it
His album with Statik was boom-bap like given that Statik was the producer...
BFK was what you talked about, the smoke and ride stuff
ESGN was cold trap almost all over except a few tracks
Pinata was left field Madlib stuff
SOAD was some atmospheric, dark shyt

So I wouldn't say that there's a lane he knocks off. Only one of his projects is really like what you said.
He has many styles
Maybe not a style originator but neither a biter. He easily stays inside the border of being influenced and biting.

He has his influences like 2Pac, Bone Thugs, or Z-Ro but he is far from biting them
If he's biting then idk who's not biting today? Everybody bites then I guess... He should reinvent the whole genre to not get called a biter or what?
Also a matter of perspective. I don't call being influenced "biting". I call the shyt what Desiigner does "biting", there's a big difference imo.

if he don't got a real don from the yard to stamp it then it's a bite
shine light on the source of inspiration don't just step in the light and claim a wave

it's a bit of fear on they part cause they look dumb as fukk on the same riddim as actual artist from the culture
the mistake of imitating the accent and just not having the variations in flow and cadence natural to those artist

it's cool just quit hiding your hands after you try and teef out the cookie jar stupse

[Vilhena]

shyt is not dancehall

This.

OP off yourself.

 

[010101]

shyt is just as cringe worthy in reverse doe
when caribbean/dancehall artist bite off rap/hip-hop with no tailoring
you need to work to blend it instead of trying to cut out the middle man

[MikeyC]

shyt sounds like a grime riddim
