He just was on Hot 97 name dropping the new NY talent like they shouldn't be getting more radio play and support over him. He always propping his stuff up and belittling the quality of other artists in the process.

idk what ur talking about. If his music was any deeper it would drown itself. Way more authentic than fake deep Wale or any trap artist you can name. Except Lil Durk or some shyt
Well yea you can get away with hurting black people because no one caresi just heard the most ignorant uncle murda song the other night on the radio.
he represents the real c00ns of nyc imo. waged war against other black folks but let these devils move in no problem. i know this is kinda off topic but driving through bed stuy the other day got me heated.
Not really man.
His point of view consists of "America is racist and very fukked up" and that's the extent of it. Throw some easy listening lounge beats over that, and you've got half of his latest album. Not kidding either, 6 tracks out of 12 might as well be the same song. It's very pedestrian, but as I said before, it'll get a pass because it has a "message" despite that message being something any cognitive minority can pick up just from walking outside of their front door.
This is why I tend to appreciate rappers like Lupe Fiasco.
He could've taken the easy way out and made a 3-4 minute song about how "the prison is fukked up ya'll," but instead, not only does he weave in the corruption and racial profiling of the penal system across the country while simultaneously telling a story of a prisoner's incarceration and subsequent escape, he uses the second part of this song to expand on the parallels of both guard and criminal with how they're confined to the same cells during a correctional officer's shift while tensions between both parties rise.
There's so much more to be explored, that's why I'm not easily swayed by plain efforts. I don'tdoubt he'll eventually get better at his craft, but right now....it's just aiight.

why is it every time rap is the subject of its impact on the human psyche, there's always nikkas finna treat rap music like it's immune to the research conclusions and mental treatment that is based on repetition and symbolism, being used to condition the human mind, that is used by PR firms, advertisement agencies, health and fitness professionals?

The same idiots will say Jay-Z had everybody screaming "Holla", made nikkas stop rocking Jerseys. 50 Cent was responsible for crushing Ja Rule. etc. If rappers can influence that, they can infleuence anything including negativity, but these dunces don't want to hear it. It's all about white supremacy

Speak about yourself. You listen to trash that has no benefit to you or any so called community.
Your username sucks, utter garbage. Your idol is garbage too.

Very very true
Correct me if I'm wrong cause I know you know your music, but I'm under the impression that those genres of music (especially rock, rap) were attacked because the establishment feared it for the subsersive potential it had, and given voice to the youth. On the other hand trap music is accepted/pushed by the mainstream precisely because they know those who listen to it aren't subsersive at all, and represent no threath whatsoever to the establishment.
