its very simple rocky saw the wave of cloud beats
There was no 'wave of cloud beats', moron. Do you have receipts? How is it a 'wave' when Lil B was the only nikka doing it, and people were ignoring the cloud rap side of Lil B?
One of Lil B's best ever songs is "Real shyt From A Real nikka", which is straight up cloud rap. and has 0 views in comparison to Wonton Soup and all the 'funny trap' stuff he was releasing.
Rocky put cloud rap on the map. PERIOD.
he probably thought it would blow up and didn't, so he moved on to the mainstream sound.
Makes sense. Mainstream are sheep that like formulaic garbage 99% of the time. You really think they were gonna understand some shyt like cloud rap? That shyt took me a minute to understand and I've been listening to rap since the mid 90s.
You really think little kids running around and older heads stuck in their respective regions are gonna understand the type of region-mixing throw-back-to-grimy-rap shyt Clams Casino was doing?
hipsters can only take a sound so far, streets wasn't fukking it withbeyond a track here or there he hasn't really gone back since, i wonder why

I could care less what the streets think in 2015. They lost touch with hip hop more than a decade ago. They have no real say in modern hip hop. shyt's just one big hipster circle jerk.
Besides, this talk about Rocky being hipster is hilarious considering him and Yams are some of the most street rappers outta all the new nikkas.
breh i saw lil b perform in 2012 wtf are you talking aboutbeen listening to that nikka since 2010. obviously not everything but i check his shyt out.
fair enough.
i give everyone a fair shot, i bared through ds2, yung rich nation, and like 2 pee wee longway mixtapes![]()

coli posters don't represent the world, you need to get out there and livebut you probably some old nikka scared by the youth so that explains your distaste for most music.
LOL at me being an old guy.
a) you thought Droog was Nas so obviously your ears a little fukked and
b) my generation made hip hop what it is. We know all angles of this rap shyt and care about it more than these young nikkas. It's always funny how y'all bring up this corny 'you old' shyt when frankly, you're on our nuts. Y'all should have done your own thing and created your own generation instead of dikkriding what we created, doing it poorly, then calling us old when you release garbage

you're not in the streets mingling with the shakers and movers so you don't know what moves the people.
You wouldn't know if I was, and frankly it's irrelevant. LOL at me having to be at every festival to have an opinion on a genre I've been into for nearly 20 years. and have vastly more appreciation for it than 99% of the hipster kids at those festivals.

You stay pulling shyt outta your ass. Don't be mad - just step your listening tastes up. Notice how you've derailed this thread into "an expose on SirBiatch" because that's how you modern listeners are. Any dissenting comment, and it's time to launch personal attacks.
