I'm from Uptown, so I hear a new dude rhymin' like every other day. The problem is, everyone sounds the same. No one sticks out at all. No lie, was just listenin' to cats rhyme by Minisink earlier this week. Little cypher out there, 6-7 dudes. Every single dude sounded exactly like the one before. Same flow, same cadence. It's mad boring out here now.
Truth is, ASAP worked because he was different. You might not be wack, but that doesn't mean you're dope either. You can't go anywhere without bumpin' into a rapper in Harlem. And that's cool, but a lot of these dudes are mad forgettable. Everyone's just decent. I'm still waitin' on that next level shyt. Spoke about this the other day with one of my people, and he said "the cat from here that's ridiculously nice and crazy with it, is the one we'll never hear because he doesn't put the right work in to get heard". And that's the reality of it. Sad shyt.
I think a major problem with this train of thought is. You gotta give these young boys time to grow.
I work with these new jacks so I like throwing em out on the net early. But maybe I should start withholding info.
You gotta remember a lot of these kids are from the hood they don't really got the time and resources to work and hone they craft like that. It takes years b.
I guess cuz I post about em when they so young and raw they come off amateur and typical.
I bet if I was to make threads about Drakes, Kendrick and Rockys first songs ya would call em boring and generic too.
I just like making threads about the young boys I see the most potential in.
Ya shouldn't take these vids as finished products but more as work in progresses.
But I feel ya tho a lot of Harlem nikkas is stuck in that early 2000s flow HEAVY.

I hear you. I look at it like this, are dudes really honing their craft though?
Age shouldn't really matter. I was around for the COC stuff, and when Uptown was kinda like the mecca for young MC's. Dudes were like 17-19 back then and mad nice with it. But they all had their own shyt, and they invested time in gettin' their skills up. I don't see that same love or passion for the music today. Dudes want the look, but I don't know if they really care about the actual music. That's been my thing with it lately.
nikka I made a thread a year ago exactly mandating how the rap game would b in 2014

Down to the T. Even got posts on how Mustard and YG were gonna dominate the sound.
You would swear I was working at def jam or sumtin
A lot of shyt be going on with these young bucks. U right their heart ain't 100 in it. But honestly when I see the situations surrounding some of these kids I can't blame em.
Neek serious about this shyt tho. Prolly one of the most focused young cats I've seen coming out of Harlem in a min. He hungry.
What street is he from ?

Been messing with dude since I heard this joint, I initially thought he was from Treyside because I used to see him in all their videos.
Drake had an easily identifiable voice, flow, and songwriting ability.
Kendrick had an easily identifiable voice, lyrics, content, and flow.
Rocky had an easily identifiable voice, sound, style, and good visual presentation.
This Neek kid has none of those. His voice isn't unique, not very lyrical, etc. It sounds like dime-a-dozen, any hood nikka music. He might pop locally but I see nothing there to make him pop nationally and definitely not globally. Aligning with Jim, Mase, or Dipset is a bad move in every way. He should be trying to build his own organic brand the way ASAP, Pro Era, and TDE did.
Drake yea. But dont put Kendrick Lamar in thurr boy.
When Kendrick Lamar was exactly Neeks Bucks age he was making songs like this
. nikka flowing like Camron and shyt 
He right, alot of these new gen rappers take a minute to find themself

I meant to say when they first released a mixtape or video. Every rapper was wack at one point

Which is exactly what I meant.
Kendrick Lamar's first couple mixtapes were weak. He only turned up for real when he turned 22 and changed his name. Everything before that was amateur hour. Rocky was weak before he linked up with Purrp too, he was sounding like a Max B knock off.
Alot of these new nikkas are works in progress. Difference is, in the internet age we get to see how they were rapping before they are "officially" presented to us.
you need to speak for yourself.
and new york stays running with philly chit without giving credit. dudes even running with names out there. yall got a rapper named philthy rich now?
hes at the age where he should be in his prime. look at all the legends that came outta harlem at his age & younger.
