How long could a new rapper who didn't use profanity last before fans noticed?

[jadillac]

Here's the setup: He does NOT mention that he doesn't curse, it's not part of his angle/marketing.....but he just simply doesn't curse in his rhymes. He still raps over Metro/Zay etc trap beats like these other dudes. He fits the same mold of 21 Savage, or Migos or these other new dudes, BUT he doesn't need to use profanity.

The only "bad" word he will use is nikka.

How long before fans notice? Will they care?

Didn't Chamillionaire do this?

They can go their whole career if theyre grimy with it.

There are songs from 10 years ago that I when I just realize there are no curse words in them.

I dont give a damn if he curses or not, if he makes good music
For example if you listen to the clean versions of classic songs from chronic, doggystyle etc. they were also dope, back then they actually did alternative clean versions and not just destroying a song by muting the words. But since you mentioned he fits the same mold as 21 savage etc. and raps over those trap beats he would be equally as trash to me as those fakkits, cursing or not

Didnt Blu not curse in a lot of Below tha Heavens

Also Lil Wayne didnt curse when he was in Hot Boys

 

[Hyperion]

You could probably make it three to four projects deep before people really start going "...Yo... ", to be honest.

Lil Wayne not cursing became a gimmick tho.

When he finally did curse on a song on Block is Hot album it was a big deal

 

[Trot LaRoc]

It wasnt really a gimmick....i guess his mom wouldnt let him curse til he was old enough

Wayne didn't curse but he also mentioned that he didn't curse.

Was bout to post this...Chamillionaire did this then ironically fukked it up cause he brought attention to it when the Don Imus situation had nikkas jumpin on the clean hip hop fad....50 shytted on him for it but he was doing it since the underground, Swisha House days and was wrecking shyt

 

[ThaRealness]

No one would notice if the music was hot

 

[Deltron]

Don't think fans would care, as long as it's enjoyable music.

These new fans would care they want all thier rappers to be super thugs unless it's Drake..
