That shyt got next single handily killed the usage of trap beats on the East Coast

DaBaby just came back off it


Game going in this direction sonically

haven't heard it; this shyt goes. good looks

yea not for nothing they gotta really find the pocket and have some receptive catchy hooks for it 2 really go next level IMO. the offbeat flows shyt will not cross over.

its an oxymoron for dance music TBH

He was making full albums of minimalist trap beats with flutes and shyt before

I’d say rhythmically this is an improvement

He had that one song with J. Cole over a soul sample he sounded good

 

[frush11]

Almost all the hip-hop coming out NYC/NJ/Philly nowadays is a sample beat with club drums

Them sweepers dude are so trash, they make Sha EK sound like Nasir Jones

Nah they hard and they smart marketers they have a good movement going on keep listening it was unorthodox at first to me too

Jay Hound is much better than Sha EK listen closely Sha just be yelling and at this point he the inferior Sha in the Bronx lol. Jay got a frantic flow that goes well with the Jersey club bpm, punchlines, and what I see as a unique call and response fill in the blank style never really heard no one rap like him it’s original

Streets need this its the most anticipated


I might just break in his crib like I’m Santa

Who said they have to go out of their way to find rappers? The rappers the youth listen to are local kids who eventually get signed and get a little polish be it a Pop Smoke, Kay Flock, Sheff G, or an Ice Spice. The youth on it before any white record label exec.

Get a little polish? Ice Spice rhyme scheme is so ridiculous she can't even keep up with her own style without getting tired and having to resort to shaking her ass to get through her music.

And this is what I'm talking about. People like this getting pushed to the masses who have no lyrical skill.

Lyrics, Wordplay, Storytelling, that's the genesis of Rap Music. Not the bullshyt that's passing for Rap Music today.

Who said the fashion isn't come from the streets? The two most popular fashion brands right now amongst youth outside Mike Amiri in the culture are Barriers and Hell Star both are black owned. You don't know what you're talking about my man you severely out of touch on some old man judgmental shyt.

I was going to give you a pass with this, thinking these were legitimate clothing lines. It's your run of the mill iron press, 3d-printed nonsense that people try to pass as fashion. No real effort involved. Just generic hoodies, t-shirts and jogger pants.

Everybody think they a fashion designer with this bullshyt. Like o said before, the current and past generation have ruined Hip Hop. None of what you posted represents Hip Hop at it's core. Not even your movies.





None of these wack ass rappers today can compete with this. Real Hip Hop.

A couple of things, 1. I don't care what you rap about as long as it's entertaining. This was not entertaining. 2. Why is there this expectation for hip hop that old heads need to like new shyt? That's not the case with rock music -- you have all sorts of people that stopped listening to new bands once guns n roses or nirvana came out.

Basically, Hip Hop ran into the same issue that Rock and Metal ran into once it became the #1 genre. Once it becomes #1, everyone wants to get into the genre and it get lost in the sauce in return. Metal was on top in the '80s, then lost its spot to country music and self implosion. Rock took advantage of it, but it was dealing with Pop, Electronic music (EDM) and Hip Hop, just to lose its crown at the end of the 2000s to EDM. Hip Hop is experiencing this for awhile once it finally became #1 back in 2017 and later lost its spot two years ago.

It's a cycle with fans, new fans come in and old fans don't like what they're hearing and watching, thus grow tired and either stick to what era their grew up on or move on entirely.

U can't do it knees would give out they make it look easy

It is also very clearly hip-hop

Notice you're always alone when you say this...

I keep saying today is the "hair metal" phase of rap. You understand.

Watching that Metal documentary on Paramount+ really put things to perspective for me as I didn't grow up in that era, plus my childhood is basically the 2000s to early 2010s, so I don't have much of a dog in the fight. Hip Hop is dealing with the combination of Hair/Glam/Pop Metal phase and the growing pains Rock ran into during the '80s till it had a big resurgence in the '90, but with Pop back on the #1 spot for the past two years and with the resurgence of Pop Punk, Pop Rock and Nu-Metal from the tail end of last decade, Hip Hop will have some tough competition.

I personally won't count out Hip Hop as this will probably be the growing pains era of the genre, so maybe later on in the decade it'll shape up and show the world that its #1 dominance wasn't a fluke like everyone thinks it is.

nikka you 36

32 but I remember being a young nikka and seeing the cool old heads that stayed in their lane and let nikkas cook vs the ones that started yelling at clouds telling kids to get off they grass before they even turned 40.

I've changed a lot of my ways from youth, but I'll never ever pretend like I wasn't young before. nikkas can't accept that hip hop is a young man's game even though the rules were established a long time ago; The same people these dudes praise are the same ones responsible for the game being the way it is, and that's a FACT.

There’s not a single DaBaby song on his previous projects of that style

The issue is trolling fans being dominant... probably because of the internet.

Peak Soulja Boy in 2008 when many big time rappers jumped on turn my swag on remix Soulja Boy wasn't being pushed as the top rapper. No one was saying LL Cool J scaring the hoes music and Soulja Boy is king, lol!!! Soulja had a lane...but he wasn't up there with Jeezy, TI, Wayne, Jay, Nas, Lupe, Kanye, Fab, Jadakiss, Cam'Ron etc.
