J.I.D. Says He Doesn't Listen to Lyrical Rap Despite His Reputation As A Lyrical Rapper "I Don’t Listen To My Style Of Rap.....I Fxxkin' Hate It"

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Ironically kids could give a fukk about a JID.

Go check his monthly Spotify listeners and then holla at me

JID has 33.9 monthly listeners on Spotify alone, and nikkas gonna say who lmao

No, it means that he dosent listen to his own style of music as much as people would assume he does. How people are offended by this is perplexing as fukk

The quote says he fukkin hates his style of music. Why would I listen to an artist who is making music they hate? He’s actively saying that style is shyt and he don’t respect it…that’s not a way to endear yourself to those who like that style of would’ve otherwise listened to you

The fukk. You listen to what you like. Half these rappers don’t even take rap serious. its a simple as if you enjoy the music you listen to it.

Nothing wrong with a balance but without any understanding in lyrics I really don’t want to listen to anything else. I’m not a teenager trying to listen to stupid shyt in music with no meaning. You’d be surprised how many rappers don’t really listen to rap and just listen to oldies or some other type of music. Where you think all the samples come from.

There’s enough rappers not publicly shytting on what they make, when they are free to make another style, for listeners to go fukk with someone who can at least act like they enjoy what they make. No one said they have to be serious about. Lil B clearly wasn’t serious but breh was enjoying his fukkery so that made people enjoy him. This is simply one of those trying too hard quotes

He said he's dope and likes the way he raps. He doesn't want to hear rappers who do his same style. I don't see what the problem is and he acknowledged it's weird.

I think we can all agree that JID and everyone else for that matter should only listen to and like the style of rap and rappers that we personally like because everything else is trash and the people who listen to it are stupid.

 

[Left.A1]

Which is why JID don’t be saying nothing “lyrical” in his rhymes He’s all flow for show

A nikka tell yall some shyt out his own mouth and yall come up with every theory under the sun as to why he said it. I guess him telling the truth is not an option lol. The fukk wrong with you nikkas. He said he don’t really listen to his style of music and I’m pretty sure he’s being honest. Do yall think conscious rappers only listen to conscious rap? Do yall think street rappers only listen to street rap? If you can have a diverse musical palette, then why can’t a person who is an actual music artist have one?

He wasn't saying he had a diverse musical palette though. He actually insinuated it was quite closed.

Stark difference from saying that’s not all u listen to vs saying u hate it and don’t listen to it at all.

a lot of so called rap fans are followers and emotional. they base listening off social media ish
look at every single Game thread.... goofies never fail to be like "Game top ten but i don't like his IG "

 

[Awesome Wells]

This nygga only got half way motion out here because of Cole.. nobody really cares about his lil raps. Stop sayin dumb shyt publicly.

This.

The minute these dudes get out the booth, they really expose how stupid they are. It's almost like a lot of them would be better off just not speaking away from records. This is pandering bullsh*t. The dumbing down of the MC is getting outta hand.
