Is This the Single Worst Hip Hop Take of All Time?

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I mean, he's not entirely wrong.

The beat most definitely is the centerpiece of the song. I don't know about carrying the song to greatness though, because sure, in a vacuum, the lyrics aren't anything special, but it's not that type of song. You have to look at through the lens of the sound that was coming out of Oakland at the time., which makes it special, in its entirety.

I love this song.. never heard their album. Think Ill give it a spin. I dont remember hearing no other songs by them

Incredible debut album.

Their last 2 LPs had a lot of great stuff on there also.

Albums in between aren’t as memorable IMO.

But a very solid group with an arguable classic LP under their belt.

i always thought those dudes were pretty wack annoying voices

so nah, the beat > the lyrics is not the worst take i've ever heard

I mean, you can basically say this for 90% of the Bay Area, at least, in my opinion. I've never really been able to digest the whole cadence of rappers from there. E40 is a prime example of this. I just can't simply get over how annoying his voice and flow is.

We can be honest, the beat and the Hook was the most memorable part of that record. Not saying the verses were trash, but that production was a cheat code.

 

[Mastamimd]

I don't get the purpose of shyt like this lol

Whether you agree or not it's not gonna change anything in the grande scheme of things. And that dude been a mutual of mine and I didn't even know he was a rapper

Do you know how many classic songs I ain’t have no clue wtf this nig was talking about for real? Lol, he just randomly rhyming words to me. That don’t mean it’s all beat…what about flow/delivery/riding the beat/imagery/etc… this guy just wanted to get some engagement, lol, cornball. I’d hate to hear his take on Ghostface,






And not for nothing, but the worst take in hip hop is “We just rap about what we see and experience in the hood”…like wayyy more times than not the hood ain’t just kids playing and nigs playin Madden and laughing and going to school/work and shhit, .

Them nikkas is legit nice on the mic whether u like their voice or not.

 

[Da_Eggman]

They bite flows, but we make up new ones
If you're really dope, why ain't you signed yet?
But I get my loot from Jive/Zomba, I'ma bomb ya
You will see, from now 'til infinity

The worst HipHop take is “being a rapper is the most dangerous job in America.”

Boy what an understatement. I literally HATE when nikkas say this shyt. Lol.

How do you feel about Del The Funky Homosapien?

How do you feel about Del The Funky Homosapien?

I fukks with some of Del's shyt. One of the very few artists from the Bay I can actually listen to.

Nah the Bay gave us too much heat. Man I swear hiphop made me want to go to Oakland back then even though it was never gonna happen lol. There are songs that are bigger hits than 93 til Infinity where you could ask wtf are they talking about. That song is one of the songs you play when you want expose a person to how dope hiphop is.

Steve Stoute saying nikkas in the 90s didn't care about lyrics was prolly the worst hip hop take I've ever heard in my life. Lol.
