Pete Rock Says Drill Rap Is Trash: 'It Disrupts The Soul'

[bigde09]

No lies were told. But then the same thing was said back in the early 90s when the game went hardcore and everyone switched up. Drill is just an evolution of that nihilism given new expression.

We, the , don't get it because a) we ain't in the skreetz like that any more so are out of touch b) we're not on the same kind of drugs they are that make the music sound good and c) it isn't what we came up on.

Exactly the same thing the old heads said/thought/felt before when NWA/smoking weed blew up and changed the sound/topics they were used to.

Facts. My parents HATED Gangsta rap. History repeats its self.

Y'all wanted the rappers to keep it real, drill is about as real as it gets.

Can't blame Laffy Taffy for this one.

Difference being that this is the first era of hip-hop where rap skills really don't matter.

It's pure garbage.

People said the same thing about West Coast hip hop when it blew up

“One, two, three and to the four…”

Jus sayin

 

[Dynamite James]

That shyt has negative and demonic energy. I agree. You have Brehs who listen to that shyt early in the morning

The first era of hip hop was a bunch of nikkas saying “throw ur hands in the air, and wave them like you just don’t care”

Yea, cause that's when Hip Hop music was at it's infancy. Rappers supposed to be at the same level or better than they were in the previous era. How would you feel if the new cars being produced now was at the same quality level of a 1980s Datsun?

 

[Billy Ocean]

That's because they literally invented the genre dumb nikka. The fukk, you expected some multis in 1981?

Like, what's the excuse of these new nikkas sounding even more basic than those old nikkas?

This.

Beat me to it.

 

[Mag Wheel]

I love Pete Rock but this nikka stay mad and hating. My childhood idle is a big mouthed retard online.

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

He's 100% right. Anyone who says otherwise is suspect tbh

 

[get my pool]

Does Pete Rock bust his guns?

 

[ISO]

Why nobody keep this energy for boom bap? Not the same shyt sonically but as far as content its no better since nikkas want to be "righteous". Pete Rock needs to shut the fukk up. I hope Waka see this clown too.

Basically the same as drill video

Did Pete Rock have an issue when Cypress Hill was telling kids to “Throw Their Sets In The Air” , or when Dre/Snoop/Kurupt was calling women every name in the book? Where was the outcry then?

true, but at least it was a degree of distance between

"shoot a nikka drag his body, treat him like the kkk"

it was more artistic, more poetic, but I feel you at the same time

 

[GreenGhxst]

Basically the same as drill video

more poetic

more nuance

more details

he taking us somewhere

It's pure garbage.

Lol nikka how old are you? The first rap song didn’t really have bars like that

Just feel like drill is bringing down a rap as a whole.

Cause now this is the more common and most popular form of rap and for people that aren't even privy to the genre or exposed to it, they're gonna think that's all there is.

And I fukks with it but I gotta call it what it is.

 

[Unknown Poster]

It's really corny when nikkas over 35 hop on the drill wave...

Cough cough 5god
