Tyler doesn't like culture vultures, blasts Hip Hop Twitter

[O.Red]

He's not saying that.

If Illmatic is in your top 5 because Nas' lyricism and storytelling made you go he's not talking about you. He's talking about the guy that has Illmatic in their top 5 because everyone publication has it in their top 5.


If you had the personal experiences with those album, then you're not the type of people he's criticizing.

It's this simple but nikkas being obtuse and treating it like calculus

This is exactly how cacs finesse their way into hip hop spaces

Bro picking apart and dictating who truly loves these albums for real vs those who are faking to look “informed” is a fools erand and impossible to prove in the first place.

And his reasoning of needing a personal experience to coincide with the music to make it great is an even dumber point.

His ASSUMPTION is a 17 yr old could not actually believe 36 was a top 5 album because he hasnt “lived” with it yet is BS and complaining just to complain.

Theres nothing deep about any of this. “Its that simple”

At 17, 36 was my fav album too. I didnt need to have it bumping in my 20s to prove that point to anyone.

What made 36 your favorite album at 17?

Thread title don't match what he said!

Thriller and Bad are some of the best pieces of music I've ever heard, and I wasn't even born when one of them came out. I could have told you that at 17.

"but that's different"

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

i mean.... he cried about getting the rap grammy that he was different and mad about being put in a box, so if people gonna be mad they can be mad at him.

but let's face it, in reality he is because hip hop is variety. he's from cali where there is no one hip hop sound so he should know best. and then you have sounds like beastie boys so and other white boy shyt like eminem so if he thinks he special just because he draws a diverse hip hop crowd.... he isn't. then even more recent you had guys like ye making the more emo lighthearted music so... he aint special cuz he makes melodic songs with charlie wilson.

tldr: he's very hip hop lol

Yea I don’t agree with any of that. IMO Tyler is in character and goes out of his way to constantly shyt on hip hop. Like if he could sing he probably wouldn’t even bother with hip hop.

He loves hip hop. He talks about it all the time

 

[mobbinfms]

He's talking about the guy that has Illmatic in their top 5 because every single publication has it in their top 5.

Why is this a problem?

you don't agree that hip hop has a variety of sounds?
you don't agree that other artists draw diverse fans?
you don't agree that people been doing what tyler does?

you'd be a tryhard or maybe just not knowledgable to disagree with any of that, but it's a free world
and we are not talking about what he should would could do, we are talking about what he is and he's def a hip hop artist

 

[mobbinfms]

No it's NOT a different subject, it's the entire point

It’s not the point Tyler was making. At least in the clip in the OP.

 

[GreenGhxst]

Expose these people by asking them to name 4 songs off said album

 

[Jx2]

He’s going off on this soapbox diatribe about fukk Rap Twitter when they’re interviewing him

 

[Creflo ½ Dollar]

2pac in my top 3 and he died when I was a toddler..

That’s a stupid argument he is making at that one part tho because art doesn’t have an expiration date. Art is forever but he is right about people saying it just to fit in but who cares if you wasn’t born in somebodies peak.

 

[Braman]

Well, kinda to his point, im not gonna sit here and pretend like he said some profound shyt. He didn’t

Which is close to the point he’s trying to make. Social media is all geared on debate and tropes and doing and saying what you think is supposed to be said. Basically dapfishing This site is prime example nggas will debate ANYTHING.

So even tho dude rambled for 90% of that and didn’t really make any noteworthy point, dudes gon get their ‘the state of hip hop’ soliloquys off
