Here's why Lil B and ASAP Rocky are the best rappers of their generation (the details)

[blackslash]

Asap rocky is boring

Lil b a good artist tho

I never listened to Kool Keith but I am an unashamed Lil B stan.... when I first heard Kool Keith I gained a much bigger understanding of Lil B

Rap right now is paralyzed with the fear of conformity. nikkas are scared to death of not fitting in. Dudes like Kool Keith and Lil B work to show that it's OK and even better to do what you want, regardless of what others think.

I never really rocked with ASAP Rocky though. His flow is weak like Angela Yee's thoughts. When he raps it sounds like he doesnt want to be there. Like he is just messing around. I dont like that.

His flow is one of his best attributes

Who the fukk are Drake, Kendrick and J Cole trying to be? And are they in the all-time conversation for whatever it is they're trying to be? Kendrick is trying to be an intellectual rapper in the tradition of intellectual rappers before him. That's what the media sells to me. When I hear these cats, particularly with Kendrick, I hear an immensely-watered down version of popular, acclaimed stuff before him. He wants to be a deep observer like Nas? He's nowhere close. And saying that Kendrick is close to Nas in that department is offensive to anyone who's actually paid attention to this hip hop shyt. He wants to be Andre 3000 and blur genres? He doesn't have the voice for it nor the stellar production (Kendrick doesn't have anything on the level of Organized Noize). Is Kendrick even as deep as Lupe? Blu? Ka?

You got interesting theories, but maybe Kendrick doesn't want to be Andre 3000. Or Nas. Or Blu. :kenny: Maybe Kendrick just wants to be Kendrick.

I mean, if you can only be described as this combination of a bunch of different things, you're your own thing at that point.

There it is. Had to be a reason you were hating on K-Dot's new album without even listening to it. You are a stan. You have just been exhibiting your stan traits. Stans do weird shyt. How can you shyt on Kendrick but then praise ASAP Rocky? That shyt don't make any sense. And that shyt you said about Rocky...

I hear ya. But it's clear that Kendrick wants to be an intellectual rapper. And I'm saying, compared to other intellectual rappers, particularly the great ones, Kendrick falls way short.

Comparing Lil B to other comedic rappers, he's one of the best of all time.

Comparing Rocky to other fly fashion-centered rappers, he's one of the best of all time.

What's Kendrick?

So @Big Mel by the contrary u must think some dudes are handsome. Werent u the guy getting @ nikkas for ranking Nas as the GOAT off his looks? U a funny style dude mayne. Way to miss the point of the song as well.

Im a fan of asap rocky but he did steal lil bs producers clams, beautiful lou, cpl others, shyt was cold, then he started off his single with "Im a pretty muthafukka" we know that pretty boy shyt was lil bs.

even tiny pants. lil bs very first single "we can go down" see what lil b was wearing. folks clowned that single SUPER HARD when it first came out, look at it today and it looks like a fukking video shot last year. Even the director Colin Tillin is being used by Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Rick Ross. even the shot with his sunglasses that have the light ring, that shyt is commonly used now.

lot of people dont know about lil bs influence. he came at a time when the internet was starting to rev, mainstream was at halt but nobody wanted to break out the mold. He said fukk it, fukk who doesnt like it, but imma create a lane and stick to it. folks slowly but surely caught on. musta took a lot of work and self esteem.

You know what I find funny? It's when you 90's babies try to make points and try to articulate themselves in order to justify the stupidity and fakkitry of rappers like Lil B and Young Thug.

You can try to articulate yourself all you want nikka, they will NEVER be at the same level as Camron, KRS One, Nas, Kanye, Pac, and so on. Lil B and Young Thug are internet PUNCHLINES and they will not be remembered in the next 10 years. You think all that "TYBG" "Thank you based god for fukking my bytch" and so on, are helping Lil B? Naw, it's showing how lame and corny his fans are and that type of commentary only exists on the internet. Being funny is not an accomplishment, making classic albums and timeless music are. Also, I never met a nikka that liked bytch ass nikkas like Young Thug and what not. Being gay and acting gay is not revolutionary or unique, and their antics are annoying and destroying hip hop.

Finally, here's a site where you should post because fakkit ass nikkas like you flourish there.

Great post, homie.

This is the thing - real recognize real. I make it my business to know the cats that are really innovative and doing it well. Because real nikkaz don't give a fukk what anyone else thinks. They do what they know needs to be done. They don't rely on cosigns and hype. They just do it.

It's hilarious to watch people come full circle on Lil B. When I first heard Wonton Soup, I thought the dude was straight garbage. Worst rapper ever type shyt. It's not until Rocky came out, and I was blown away by that Clams Casino shyt, that I realized that Lil B was on that tip two years earlier.

I know I'm handsome. Pause? Also, don't assume I've ever heard the song. I mean, Lil B and all.

if the music was worth a shyt i might could. i know people pretend he's had dope beats but it's just lazy atmospheric stuff mostly.

Does these count as lazy atmospheric?




You've been known to kick a cub scout or two, but even the heartless can't help but feel this shyt.

Yep asap rocky could never amount to the talent the based gawd has

His diverseness in subject matter and approaches to beats are His charisma is out of this world

Asap rocky is the worst lil b copycat and it disgraces me that that chump would try to be like him on Clams Casino production
