Real Talk: Do you want Gangsta Rap to Come Back?

[Smile Gang]

On some real shyt... I would love for somebody with some talent to embrace the message Saigon is speaking, because I don't like Saigon's music but he's saying some good shyt.

If we could get Drake, or Future to be on some conscious positive energy, that would make my year.

Once you get old and recognize that kids out (and sadly grown ass men and women) really are shaped and influenced by the messages they consume, you really can't promote or validate certain shyt anymore.

I don't want to take dollars out of Keef or any one else's pockets, but if you could get a Drake or a Future to start making real mentally stimulating music with important messages that would be my ideal situation.

No, I don't want gangster rap back, I think it's soul pollution.

Yea I was peeping that Saigon breakfast club interview and he was spitting that real shyt. However doing stuff like that is type hard. The general public dont wanna hear uplifting shyt. Our culture naturally gravitates to negativity over positivity. Thats why a Cheif Keef can blow from underground to mainstream interscope releases in 6 months, while a Kendrick Lamar route would take several years (which it did for the boy)

Agreed. I recognize it's no easy feet because it's outside of the palate of the majority of consumers. That's ashame though. Just a personal wish of mine. Hip-hop could be such a powerful vehicle for social change but we get 300 and Bandz A Make Ha Dance. Not that I don't fukk with my guy Juicy but I wish it was something else.

Sadly. Pac was the closest thing we eva saw to it. He really walked that fine line perfectly. But sadly he still got caught up in that gangsta rap lifestyle that the game produces. Even tho deep down Pac wasnt even really about that life. But he knew he had to do it, if his music was to hit the people the way it did.

ignant,gangsta,gang bangin music make the world go round

 

[Shaman]

No, I love this current era of rap music (J. Cole, Drake, Cudi, Wiz, Kanye, Big Sean, Kendrick, ASAP, Wale, etc.)

I'm just a normal kid in college; I can't relate to a nikka bragging about taking lives and selling drugs on every track with no remorse - sociopaths, essentially. But I CAN relate to nikkas talking about getting high, chasing girls, partying, trying to find their way in the world, and so forth because that's what I'm doing right now

That being said, I do listen to artists like tupac and the clipse - artists with tracks that displayed self-reflection & social critique. If every hardcore rapper had that kind of balance in their music, I'd be more open to them.

 

[sporticus]

Not at all, but I don't think it's dead yet. People are still out here trying to act tough on records. It needs to stop all the way.

 

[LOUDaffair]

You're a fuccin lame ass nikka real shyt.

First you hate on keef and 50

Now you hatin on gangsta rap?
get yo lame ass out of here white boy

 

[Tuling]

Yes please

Meek Mill already doing it though, kinda

 

[Rominati]

There should be a balance to the game. There needs to be more artists on both sides of the spectrum, there needs to be more diversity in the game.


Chief Keef to me makes better music than J.cole


We need more and better variations of J.Cole to balance out the equation. One regular guys figure out a way to make hot music I think the market will balance itself out.

U r missing the whole point about the r rawse controversy and that is if u r talking about [fiddy] being part of that actual environment that u rap it betta be factual. that's the issue. if r rawse just said from the gate he was story telling then it wouldn't have been an isue from the gate. we would all be bumpin his music and dreaming like him: 'what's your body count? mines double digits! what u talking bout? u about to get it'. 90s gangsta rap was amazin because it brought forth real street dudes into the industry to make legit money by controlling and pistol whipping the rappers who sang about their respective lives. It was real, genuine and to be taken seriously. the body count was double digits for true.

That said the Chief Keefs of 2day can supercede that period [no homo] coz they [fiddy] they actually live the environment they b spitting and pop that cap for real. also being so young, hard headed [no homo] & disrespectful of olders and anyone of authority it will give rap music much needed credibility again especially as the pre$ident is b?ack and is scared of there wil' out behaviour and they dont care

 

[BlackZilla]

I want rappers that can actually spit to be on the forefront. Gangsta, backpacker or whatever doesn't matter to me. I want rappers with actual fukking talent, no short bus rappers that are carried by their production.

Jesus fukking Christ, I know that J Cole can be a bore but come on....
