People joke about this era being soft or whatever but...

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

but this era is probably the most positive era hip hop has had since the p.e. Queen Latifa days. Today's rappers are arguable better role models than I can remember. Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J. Cole, Lupe, Wiz, Wale are genuinely nice dudes despite the tons of hate they get. The rappers we grew up with were way too edgy and byronic in retrospect.

wiz khalifa is a good role model?

 

[FRIED MASON]

They role models for fakkits.

Despite the stripper simping, Wiz Khalifa seems like he's going to be a genuinely good father, family man and he's no where as misogynistic as most rappers.

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

They rap bout drugs and f*ckin other dudes girls.

They wanna be bad. But hide under 'authenticity'

So I think u r wrong.

Rap supposed to be edgy anyway.

Big dogs rip pin big dogs.

How it should be.

yea, and thats why it sucks

Entertainers shouldn't be role models though... People shouldn't be looking to model themselves after celebrities. That's the problem now.

I liked it when rappers and entertainers were bigger than life persona's , not a regular joe schmo who I could prolly catch on a college campus.


TI, Jeezy, Kanye, Weezy , Dipset , G-unit era of rapstars >>>

c/s

These nikkaz get so geeked cuz a rapper chatted with them outside a venue and took a cpl hits of their blunt

"Currency is such a cool cat! He had NO security and he let me shake his hand!"

 

[NSSVO]

its the era of the drug addicts

 

[Capitol]

Music is mostly a representation of what is going on in the real world. Rappers of today are just talking about what they see, what they take inspiration from, and what they want to be like any other era
