enjoy rap's race to the bottom of quality.

this generation has no problem with ghost writing, or trash rappers. n1ggas read freestyles off phones now

there's no more checks on actual skill anymore so any dumb n1kka can get in.

but as long as the beat snaps right?

Don't tell them nuffin.
So, when they life is boring as the fukk'n fifties and it is wack as fukk.
They will be wondering what happened.

It shows a lack of integrity on Jay's part. When people still anticipated his music he was still shytting on other rappers with songs like DOA. Now with an album about to drop and no one really caring I guess he needs to hop on the bandwagon


I think you're ignoring the business aspect of it. In our day yes Jay was the man, but now you have to remember that he's the CEO of roc nation management and the CEO of roc nation the record label. Biggin up the new gen is good for both of his businesses, alienating them could hinder future business going foward.

Magnolia and Playboi Carti mixtape is dope AF and moving the culture :umad:

Carti music not about lyrical miracle bars it's about ad libs, hooks, flows, beats, charisma, one liners. It's a vibe, good music, if you want lyricism listen to the plethora of lyrical rappers.

When will you :flabbynsick: learn? Jay, Nas these guys are not backpackers.

I agree and I'm a Hov Stan. When he shouted him out I was disgusted and felt like he was just trying to be the cool dad. Even if he liked the song he didn't have to shout that nikka out with all the legends.
this is how i feel. i like a whole lof of hot trash songs from these young dudes, but when it's time to be serious and shout out the people and reasons i'm still listening to hella hip hop at my age, especially as a woman...carti, thug, rae sremmurd, uzi, oj the juiceman, etc aint making their way into my mentions

exactly!

crazy how the old heads, some OGs and people who actually contribute to the culture can appreciate rappers like Migos, Carti and future but the fans are "too hip hop" to lmfao

If Playboy Carti was repping Nostrand avenue in Brooklyn

Or any random block in NYC

I Doubt this thread would even be made much less an issue...

None of y'all psuedo hip hop purists complained when Designer with his non tapping azz was buzzing hard....

:ufdup:

Jay z does it for the culture

The culture of the music biz :umad:

you always come through with the truth.

if it was Bobby Shmurda, Designer, A Boogie etc no one would say shyt! but because Jay shouted out a poppin southern artist it's a big deal

Y'all mad because Jay simply tweeted an artist name :RussellMartBrook:


Log out, take a breath of fresh air and start over. Y'all need to find something else to be outraged about :6FraudCamby:

Also this was sitting on your mind at 6:30 this morning? :dahell:

dudes r a lost cause. trying to put artists in the same little box theyre in. cannot comprehend how one can simply be a fan of the music all encompassing. instead supposedly so outraged when they cosign something they dont deem "real hiphop." whatever tf that is. ive seen jay and nas both make their die hards look like idiots for yrs.

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
So basically this nikka is a business man! Genius he preached the "OUR" music agenda only to do what the white owners of labels do.

Jay-z is obviously getting paid to give shout outs,and I have no problem with it....If you're listening to an artist because Jay-z or any rapper shouted them out,your an idiot.
