This new generation are interesting, they are not focused on technical skills or any particular thing. They focus on making good music, and they do make good music. That some people try to listen to rap like they are measuring chemicals is just sad for those people, cause they are missing out on a lot of good music.

The genre is expanding, there's still that shyt people like but you old heads would rather complain about what other like than finding what you like. There's like a million rappers out from all around the world.

"Shout out to Maya Angelou. Shout out to Kim Kardashian" - A rapper

"Y'all bitter nikkas is bitter, just cause he shouted out Kim K dont mean it's gonna effect Maya Angelou's money, there's room for both!!" - Rap fans

Giving talentless people with no skills "room" or a lane or a shout out for any reason is dumb, it's undeserved, why is Jay-z saluting legends and name dropping Playboi Carti? Think about that. Oh, Playboi Carti's song is on the commercial for Tidal, got it. Disgusting

Basically,you see the nikkas he named and know theres an alterior motive with a plyboi carti being in the mix.

When you start letting the main focus of any entertainment start to be not about skill and just a feeling then its bound to fail.


You can try and twist that anyway you want, but there isn't a skill or craft or form of entertainment that can sustain itself on a vibe or "feelings" alone.

he can't like a song now ?

is the thread started forgetting that 10 years ago Jay, a gatekeeper was asking for a "hip-hop board" because he was annoyed that Jim Jones, a rapper he didn't consider nice was the hottest act in the city and was actively laughing and dissing him..taking a little cool off of Jay for a minute but Jimmy's song was so fire Hov couldn't help but rap on it.

if a song is fire a song is fire.

the supposed gate keepers keep letting trash rappers in

a n1gga like yachty, pump, famous, whatever colored dread n1gga #33121 shouldnt be getting features from anybody higher than label hang-ons

do you think 10 years ago, jay would praise soulja boy , shop boys or MIMS?


jay could call any damn producer that worked w/ him and be like "this carti dude... is he nice?"

producer :what::deadmanny:

jay and most artists would rather chase $$$ by following the younger crowd than preserve the integrity of the genre

You missed the point Jay was making with those tweets:francis:

never gone be mad at legends showing love to the young boys...fukk that gate keeping shyt. the generational wars is a bigger problem in hip hop..playboi carti aint stopping lyrical nikkas from doing numbers...all this ruin hip hop talk..meanwhile, nikkas that can actually rap setting streaming records.

theres room for all of it and honestly we need all of it. nikkas need to lighten up.

oldheads shytting on the new guys and vice versa keeps the genre stagnant
Preach. Jay don't gotta keep the image yall want him to be as the "oldhead" in rap. Jay could like who tf he want to

Y'all got the same reaction as when Ric Flair co-signed Roman Reigns :skip: (for u TSC brehs)

Jay is at the stage of his career that he can do whatever he wants, and believe it or not, a lot of these young guys look up to Jigga.
