Technically ain't what Desiigner doing to Future exactly what Nas did to Rakim?

i cant call it because i wasn't around, but i see comparison :ohhh:

old heads please explain exactly how its different

to be clear i dont fukk with desiigner but it is interesting :ohhh:

5* thread

I was around.

Nas getting compared to Ra was more a way to compliment him than "these guys sound alike". Because late 80's, early 90's Rakim was still the gold standard for rapping. So you got this young gun, rapping his ass off, the closest analogue is Rakim.

When Desiinger came out people literally could not tell if it was a Future song. That never happened with Nas and Ra. That never even happened with G Rap, who Nas sounded a bit more like than Ra.

Booth is a joke in 2016, breh :francis:

The fact these questions are even asked is :mindblown: put on a Rakim record, and a Nas record.

There's nothing to debate. It's a dumb ass statement. Nas didn't sound like Rakim. Noone in their right mind would've thrown on a Nas track and be confused whether it was Rakim or not.

The only time I thought Desiigner sounded like Future was on Freestyle 4

I don't know how ya'll get them mixed up on other shyt

That bullshyt started up by noob people trying to review rap and need to shut the fukk up.
That false narrative never got wings.
till wack toy rap fans from the MTV boom of tupac heard fukk'n makaveli and started their jealous bullshyt. All cause Pac was gone and post humous disses came out. Where they knew if Pac was alive none of that shyt would drop and they also knew Pac would get destroyed in a battle versus nas.
Exactly how Pac would have gotten destroyed by big as well.

I grow so tired of Pac clone war semantics in rap and the poison of that shyt.
Is also why black America is fukked up and the world as well.
Combined all together following the marketing of that shyt.
by bandwagon impressionable foreign who also don't know hip hop at all and are followers as well.

To keep it all the way real,.....like I always do.
