is the rap game boring?

[NvrCMyNut]

just like a new yorker to feel the sun rises and sets on NY. snoop is charismatic, t.i. is charismatic, big boi is charismatic all regions got charismatic folks. the only thing NY had was a concentration of industry players who grew up together, that made for a lot of entertaining beefs and back stories of friendships, alliances, fall outs, and beat downs. The centralized fukkery of of all those artists and execs growing up around each other was entertaining, but the same shyt happened out west and in the south to an extent. matter fact, that's what i think hip hop is missing, the characters. the suge's, diddy's, irv gotti's, steve stoutes, dame dashes, master p's..background folks like no id and producers having worked together, creating crews etc. ...there is no new batch of entertaining figures. everyone is trying to be around everyone, we need more crews, groups, etc. that have stories that go with them. the way a newcomers can just jump in the game and have access to a top player simply waters down the allure and back story.

Just like an inferiority complex having west coaster to catch feelings NYC penchant for producing big characters goes far beyond hiphop. I never said other regions don't have charismatic people, the sheer volume that has come out of NYC is on another level though.

considering that the most charismatic people of other states/countries tend to move to NYC, it breeds charisma on a whole other level. Hence why it's one of the artistic and financial capitals of the world at the same damn time (Future voice)

Dont even have to have an album out to be considered a famous rapper. Any and everybody is on. Need to raise our standards and stop making nikkas wit no album out famous fukk a mixtape celebrity.

We need a rapper to die..

Man I agree with @stomachlines and @Gator Reloaded rap sucks so bad right now I have never been less interested in it! And I've been listening to hip hop since 1989!

Alright....I live in NYC....and all I hear is trap beats...2 chainz...fetty wack...dj mustard...drake...Chris brown...and Gucci Mane out everybody's car window. This is New York yall...and dawn near 90% of the hip hop & rap I hear is NOT coming from New Yorkers.

But real talk...call me old fashioned and flabby and sick cause this new shyt is trash. Heard this one song that was like..."bad bytches is what I like..." and I was just at the song...just trashy, immature, vulgar, brainless garbage!

I seriously hate damn near everything about rap and hip hop culture now. All these stupid video models getting famous for spreading they legs for rappers...dumb white & asian girls on their Miley Cyrus routine wearing grills for instar am with their Jordans smoking blunts for likes and three years later ditching that life after they pussies all worn out from Marquan and Juan stretching them walls out for a life in the burbs and a career in health care or law enforcement...culture vultures galore who think that all rap and hip hop culture is is an excuse to act ignorant and irresponsible and smoke weed...dumbass gangbangers trying to be rappers and they can't rap...All of these never will bes with no talent dropping mixtapes that no one will ever listen to on datpiff called "the hood made me pt.20134" advertising their shows no one will go to when they should be out getting job skills and an education, countless strip club anthems, stupid love and hip hop type hoes that ain't shyt but a sperms receptacle that get famous for getting knocked up by dumbass rappers dumb enough to wife them broads...everything but the music matters now.

It's gotten to the point where all of this stupid rap is literally overshadowing the quality releases I would check out cause I literally don't care anymore.

I just listen to house and techno now...hang out at house and techno parties in lofts in Brooklyn and manhattan...go to house and techno clubs...cause that music is poppin and matters more to me now.

I can't get with this new generation of swag faq loving hip hop...funk this shyt.

I grew up with hip hop when it was about dope rhymes...dope beats...graffiti and breakin...I remember taping the radio and staying up all night Listening to underground hip hop. This ain't rap this is CRAP!

This ain't hip hop this is a flop

Fukk hot 97
Fukk Ehoe
Fukk Peter rosenherb!

yeah, hip hop and rap is just a pile of shyt to me now. the new (by both old and new artists with the exception of a very few) stuff ain't shyt; just like a weird hybrid of what came before but like a bad mix or blend of it and it only continues to get wacker as years ago by. i'm tired of the old stuff; like i said before, i enjoy listenin' to what the old stuff sampled from the 70's and 80's than i do listenin' to hip hop and rap music from the 90's now

but yeah, hip hop just don't keep my interest like it once did. i damn sure don't love it like i once did nor do i even find it fun to even look for new music anymore. it's like all one big blur to me now. it's fun to talk about the fukkery that went on back in the 90's but other than that, i ain't really listenin' to it when i'm out, drivin' around no more. my undivided attention is where it's always been really but more than ever now with old r&b/soul and funk music along with a lot more rock and punk music than ever now

[KangCraSS]

I could easily say Yes, but for arguments sake I'll say No. The reason why Rap is so boo-boo alot
of y'all already stated the obvious I.e. redundancy,fakkitry,and joos telling nikkas what's hot.
But Take the time back to when you were young and seen Nas or your favorite rapper out ,
That shyt took alot of skill. But I can easily take an afternoon of and make something seemingly dope.
You can't do that with any other genre . That's why it's out here looking

 

[FlyRy]

This has actually been a pretty great year for rap music so far. Easily better than 2014 which was mostly ass.

The thrill is gone however....if youre young and happy with the current climate, do you....but I remember when shyt was really exciting. Everything feels transparent now.

That said, Ive enjoyed A LOT of albums this year

this.. there have been some good albums this year..2015 rap wise is the best in years.much better than 2014 and 2015..however it all really lacks replay value.

i think it has to do with me turnign 30 this year but there is ZERO excitement for it.

and the current SOUND that the young kids love is the worst ever..that auto tuned incoherent bullshyt they're all on right now is hideous

 

[newworldafro]

I also think another problem is that we know too much about artists and the industry in general.

That's a solid point too............................................................

We need a rapper to die..

Not necessary ......

 

[eufemism]

only if you listen to the same type of stuff the mainstream feeds you

smh at people saying they need beefs and pointless arguments to make a genre of music interesting




there is plenty of cool shyt. and if you don't like anything new, just listen to the bunch of old music you probably missed. so much music, so little time to listen to it all

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

yeah......dull is the best adjective for this shyt right now. why are we still hearing these fukkin 808 beats in 2015?? shyt has been stuck on the same style of production for 7 years straight

well whenever nikkas decided to switch it up muhfukkas start calling them corny and weird, eg kanye

 

[Ineedmoney504]

I like how you selectively quoted me and took the "beauty" part out.



Rocky's not a deep dude when it comes to intellect. I don't listen to him for that. I listen to him for beats, voice and charisma (and he shytS on Ferg in all 3). With that said, Rocky's verse on "Demons" has more depth to it than anything I've heard from Ferg. You're welcome to prove me wrong.

He also says wittier shyt than Ferg scattered across that mixtape.

Again, Rocky's not the wittiest cat I've ever heard. Not by a long fukking shot. And most of his lines are lackluster. But he has some decent phrases, thoughts and visual rhymes.

"only thing bigger than my ego is my mirror."
"Wealth is in the mind, not the pocket. If that's the case, then I been paid."

Bozos love my rose gold, purple got me slow-mo
Stuntin' like I'm Dorothy but my rubies in my gold though
What you think this four for, these nikkas must be loco
Steppin' on these bricks and for your fix so call me Toto
Follow me, follow me, follow me now

that's pretty fukking clever how he worked the Wizard of Oz into that whole shyt. And more importantly, it sounds amazing.

Ferg's rhymes are trash, he sounds like trash and his beats are trash (with the exception of Shabba). Ultimate fail.



wrong on all counts.

But answer this question: where would Ferg be without Rocky?

And while you're at it, do you have any rebuttals for what I've said? Or are you just gonna call me a stan and duck the argument? The second option is common around these parts. Don't feel bad if you gotta run.

Ferg>>>>>>>>>>>>>rocky
