Q-Tip cosigns the Migos, backpackers get mad

[Pop123]

why is Q-Tip viewed as an "underground" "backpack" representative though is my question. in the early 90's he was part of a legendary crew, in the late 90's he was a "Vivrant Thing:".

I been fukking with these nikkas
And their ad libs are

[Farrinto]

Doesn't really change my opinion on them, they are wack to me

 

[Jimmy ValenTime]

Q-tip makes most of his income from being a DJ



also these kids can rap, have good flow , good rhyme schemes ... just their content is so /so


honestly purist tend to suck as people ...

 

[NotaPAWG]

When people say "I've never heard a song of em or know a song of theirs" I automatically wonder wtf rock they are living under

they're lying. like my cousin is a sheltered 11 year old super well off white girl and listens to Migos and so do all her friends.

I was actually kinda surprised when I heard her blasting Migos and Young Thug

j dilla. hipsters/trust fund college kids' all agree that dilla invented hip hop and anything that deviates is not hip hop. dilla hated being labeled as a backpack shyt

I respect Q-Tip's opinion, but Migos shyt sounds goofy to me. It's not about being lyrical or purist or whatever else.


And the worst type of listener in hip hop are hipster cacs who say they like the hood's favorite rappers of the moment, because they feel they need to have some authenticity they lack, while still treating it as something of a joke, especially around their fellow cacs. They don't genuinely like the music or take it seriously. They're forced to say they like Migos right now.

How are people supposed to know a song by these people "over the rocks"?

Honestly - I wouldn't know most of the people who rap now if I didn't come on here,
and I don't click all of y'alls links. Sorry.

They might not be goofy dudes, but this type of music is:



I can't really play this in my car as a man in my mid 20's

i fux w/that response. it seems as if they are EVERYWHERE in hiphop/rap so that's why i'm when I hear people say that. I guess cause i'm here in Jax (the south) i'ma hear em more frequently

 

[NvrCMyNut]

desperate attempt to seem 'down'

 

[BAMBINO]

Let's say he makes the opposite statement...

He'd be called washed up, irrelevant, , etc...

 

[feelosofer]

The Migos make entertaining music, it bumps.

Q-Tip cosigning them is not a big deal.
