Warren G Wants To Separate Rap "We Looking Bad Right Now"

[SoulController]

its almost like the Twilight Zone, the wacker you are the more attention you get

Riff Raff
Stiches
Yachty
Uzi
Makonnen (for like 3 months)

they are basically parody artists, trying to make the doofiest shyt possible and it works. even rnb look at that Post Malone dude, hes a fukking mess and his vevo has like 100M combined views. shyts crazy

 

[Wacky D]

theyre not great MC's or wordsmiths
but they rap

This era is all about flow and cadence

no its not.

the guys that focus on flow & cadence are just bad rappers or not rappers at all.

theres plenty of guys of this era that can actually rap. why do some of yall focus on the lowest denominator aka the stuff that's shoved down your throats by radio? its like the guy earlier that tried to make ringtone rap the face of the mid or late 2000s. that's not the chit that rap fans were listening to!!!!

What does @Art Barr think about this?

im with you half way

i noticed someone mention earlier that if you separate these guys from hip hop then eventually the artform is gonna die out, new urban artists in the future are gonna try to emulate the artists yall are trying to push out.
I prefer rappers like Kendrick but artists in his lane cant keep the shyt afloat by themselves.

[MercuryHayes]

People in here assuming Warren G talking about rappers like Uzi who he's probably never heard of, when you already have rappers that consider Kendrick a weirdo

There's a lot of projecting in here for the hip hop YOU dont like. The hip hop the masses like is still weird to old dudes Warren's age

the artform would be stronger if the wack chit was ostracized or at least politely put into its own space. and I'm not even gonna call all this stuff wack. I can enjoy a future or young thug record for what they are. but when people start putting the rap tag on em, and then act as if theyre running a form of music that theyre really not even doing, I cant f*ck wit em.

we're basically at a point where the corporate world has taken complete control. basically what they've been trying to do since the early '90s, but failed because the culture was alive and the mc hammers of the world, along with most of the new jack swing rappers that weren't culturally rooted, and other forms of commercial rappers were all ostracized - either to shame, or they just knew their space. I jam to a lot of that stuff to this day, and a lot of vet posters on here dislike that about me, but I still know whats what.

kendrick can rap but I don't like much of his stuff. heres the thing, theres plenty of real rappers that aren't making his style of music. and his style of music never generated much money anyway. theres a place for what he does, but people forcing him in as the face of real rappers, just because hes getting a push, is another thing that makes rap look weak, to be honest.

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

We should. But we have no organization, no governing body in our culture. Can't happen

You're comparing Flav, Biz Markie, ODB, 3 Stacks and Busta to the Uzi Verts, Lil Yachtys, etc. of today?

Man, sit yo' ass all the way the fukk down.

You didn't read what I wrote. I said weirdos have always been in hiphop.

Just because your not a fan of it, doesn't make it not hiphop.

Like I said before, let the kids have their thing man

 

[Wacky D]

lets also stop acting like all the kids are into wack rap.

some of this weird stuff is in style, but some of these weirdos are seen as weirdos by their peers.

the idea of chalking all shortcomings up to generational differences is one of the main things that halts progress.

like when I was coming up in the school age, we knew which of our peers were into hip-hop, and we knew the kids who were just into the radio. I don't know why people are in here acting like the most visible rappers are suddenly the general representation of whats hot with the youth all a sudden.

Thank you, because this is problem with labeling shiit Hip-Hop that ain't really Hip-Hop. Young cats like Bibby, Herbo, etc who are actual spitters who bring bars, get kinda pushed into the background.

There are still talented young emcees and singers out there. Who are just made to feel like they are in a bizarro world, because they make more standard Rap and R&B

yep. and this stuff isn't done by accident.

all the excellent young talent here in philly, and yet the only one talked about on this board is that clown lil uzi, who I never even heard of until this board. this is the guy that gets plucked out by the labels and plugged into the game. this is the guy that gets transported over to new York radio to do an interview and "rap".

and man, I always said, when blatantly wack rappers start coming out of philly, the rap game is dead for good.

But now the question is how can these young talent get that platform?

give up the butt to the right people.

 

[Wacky D]

a lot of the true talents don't even take the music seriously anymore because they know the industry isn't letting nikkas in.

its really up to the fans & so-called fans to start proppin up the true talents instead of waiting to be spoonfed.

most posters don't even rep whats poppin in their cities like that.

I can make a thread about a rapper that's buzzin in my city or the surrounding cities or somewhere that I visit or frequent.....and 9 times out of 10, those threads flop. the people from those places wont even support the threads. that's why I don't respect rappers that allegedly built their buzz thru the internet. theyre just a product of the labels paying the websites, the blogs & paying plant posters.
