rapper without substance

Could you imagine getting an "untitled" or even a "good Camel, MAAD Desert"? :heh:


It's probably the biggest knock on him, that his music simply lacks substance... shyt is basically the soundtrack for vicarious living.

Yeah, braggadocious talk and self aggrandizing is something all rappers do... but Jay effectively made it impossible to create a space for conscious content for his audience.

The question isn't if Jay could make a conscious album...but rather, who the fukk would wanna listen to that?

What do u mean by conscious?:whoo:

American Gangster was very conscious

Songs like
Pray
Falling
I know
No Hook

were very conscious

Black album had some reall good conscious songs such as
Allure
Moment of Clarity

RD was filled with songs of substance
D'evils
Regrets
Can I Live
DP2

just to name a few

You can try and be like these retarded Nas stans who have trouble looking past faulty generalizations and actually listening before assuming such things to be true...but just know you will be exposed for retarded fakket:whoo:

Hov got enough substance for ur boy Kdot to call him the GOAT
And for Ab Soul to call Reasonable Doubt his personal Bible

Why does a rapper get credit for having substance?

I have never understood this... Some people criticize rappers because they feel like the artist should rap about something else?

It was literally The " I didn't get the role in the movie,so ima make an album about it" Jay-Z album

More like "I'm conscious of the fact nobody wants to see me act,so I'll just stick to rapping"

Jay doesn't really have shyt of substance...which is why he has to continually steal from other rappers and re invent himself.

Would somebody who's raps are so full of substance religiously trend hop in the manner he does?

...why NOT?

It's a shytLOAD of rappers getting TOTALLY undeserved credit for NOT having substance...so what the hell is the difference?

So wait....it's okay for people to proclaim "don't nobody wanna hear all that preachy bullshyt!" when speaking about someone like, say, Immortal Technique or whatever, but that same person is a fan of Future because the song "sets it off in the clubs"?

The selective hypocrisy is so RICH that it just HAS to be fattening. :stopitslime:

cool thread



cant wait of flabby_b to come in here and write a paragraph with header and footer about how ts is wrong and jay-z has substance because he sold roc-a-wear for $240 million and released AG and turned down the the role of Frank Lucas
