:hhh::scust::what: this is a hip hop message board ...

EDIT : This is ban worthy breh. Just thinking about this shyt is infuriating me
No it’s a legitimate convo

bars are just boring.

best Benny song is 18 wheeler and he’s flowing on that and it’s fun

The full Tana talk album was boring tho

Older rappers had melodies that set them apart. Snoop is a great example. So is Slick Rick.

I understand the whole "melody" thing cause if it was solely about bars then these battle rappers would be able to transition to music. Canibus would have had a better career.

I think rather than "melody" a batter way to put it is that rappers need personality. Of which all them Griselda dudes have. So the OG point is still moot

Fam hearing a whole album about drug dealing is boring especially with the same flow

Benny needs more bangers like 18 wheeler

Nah melody to me is more than that

drake rapping is a lot more fun to listen to than Benny for example

I understand what you're saying kinda. Benny has a flow structure that rarely changes. However I don't find it boring. I don't think that every single rapper has to be held to to a standard of what 20 years old are doing. Just like I dont think every 20 year old has to be held to the standard of rappers who came out before they were born.

:hubie:I would've agreed up until 2019, but on Plugs I Met, Statue of Limitations, and the joints he's been featured on this year, Benny has grown beyond that very static flow structure that was on most of the joints on Butcher on Steroids, Stabbed & Shot, Tana Talk 3, etc.

His verses on Chef Dreds, as well as Eastern Conference All Stars, 5 to 50, and Lucha Bros are all prime examples


0:21, 1:07, and 1:59

dont u get bored of just bars and no melody though
:mjtf:
Huh? First off I was trying to help you with some info breh. I guess fukk me then.

West, Conway, and Mach all have melody in their raps. They all sing on hooks a fair amount. (I know Mach isn't in the crew anymore BTW but dude has hooks that sound like Mos Def crooning).

Benny is the only one that doesn't ever sing or do some falsetto.

But I'm a crate digger so I listen for production primarily and then unique voices and bars next.

First WSG project consider me a fan. I love the boom boom boom adlib, production on this is fire too. Btw why the hell is dj drama getting placements he is more annoying than Swizz easy. For some reason at times he reminds me of Ghostface at times
