For my MCs: Can we at least agree that from a technical standpoint Young Thug is incredibly gifted?

[DontEemTry]

No.

He can't spit multis. He can't ever hop on a classic preemo beat, he can't freestyle, he would never be able to battle the way a real emcee is supposed to be able to at the drop of a hat, he can't perform, he can't enunciate.

No.

 

[Prince Mongo]

No.

He can't spit multis. He can't ever hop on a classic preemo beat, he can't freestyle, he would never be able to battle the way a real emcee is supposed to be able to at the drop of a hat, he can't perform, he can't enunciate.

No.

Nobody's rapping over boom bap in 2017, give it up. And to say Young Thug doesn't have multi's is ridiculous, look up his lyrics on Rap Genius. And what do you mean by "he can't enunciate"? I can understand everything he says

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

No.

He can't spit multis. He can't ever hop on a classic preemo beat, he can't freestyle, he would never be able to battle the way a real emcee is supposed to be able to at the drop of a hat, he can't perform, he can't enunciate.

No.

Oh he doesn't fit your New Yawk standards of what a solid rapper is. OK COOL.

 

[mobbinfms]

He can rap. Crazy cadences.

I don't hear it at all breh.
I know you're an actual rapper and all though so I'll have to defer to your technical understanding...
But I really trust my untrained ear to tell me when a rapper is killing shyt and the reaction that I make

 

[mobbinfms]

the emergence of wackass yachty has given me perspective that he has some semblance of talent however limited

Now matter how low we go...shyt just keeps getting worse

 

[mobbinfms]

If you've legit only heard some of these "mumble" brehs on the radio or on hit singles than you have no depth to really engage in the conversation either...

Fair point. But are they rapping with completely different styles on album cuts?

 

[mobbinfms]

most people don't we shouldn't have to try to understand what is being said it should just be easy to understand

That standard is universal breh. It's just been ignored.

Listen to this and tell me he ain't rapping his ass off

It's easy to understand if you're from the south. I can't understand east coast nikkas sometimes because they got some ugly ass voices

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Eminem is a great comparison becuz I cant stand either one of their voices

But I have to give credit where its due. Dude has different flows for days

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

There is a difference between slang, accents and just mumbling I understand 95% of southern rappers just not the new 5% of mumblers.

Desiigner sounds like this too I'm able to understand Panda because autotune was not abused timmy turner makes no sense however.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

No.

No.

Spitting on a Preemo beat is supposed to be some measure on how great rapper is? I bet Cube wouldn't sound that good on a Preemo but he's top 10 DOA

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

That standard is universal breh. It's just been ignored.

Spitting on a Preemo beat has never been the standard universally just for corny NY nikkas
