[Lil Bape the PostGod]

I’m surprised it took them that long

 

[904]

I think the effort thing kinda started with Big and Jay with not writing anything.. Dudes just had to one up that with how long it took to record..

Pac also notoriously recorded quick

 

[razassin]

If I was a rapper Id spend as long as it took for my record to come out as dope as I'd wanted it to be

Although he wasn’t the first, Troy Ave has gone on record pretty much admitting this sentiment.

I think when artists realized how powerful beats were and how much money is in music (let’s face it, Music is easy bread these days) it just became the norm.

Jay was the first to brag about no being a rapper which while different, is a similar sentiment.

Definitely would be One Take Hov

Pac started the rapid recording and Big/Jay started the "I dont write." That marriage of influences produced this Lil Wayne rapid song digital era who have the ability to do multiple verses/songs a day. That rate was literally impossible 20 years ago.

Big Tymers and later Jeezy started the whole "Im not a rapper, Im a *insert word synonymous with hustler*" mindframe.

Eazy breezy beautiful thugger girl took it to the next level.

Everybody else is just playing catch up

 

[drugxglory]

Half of the songs these days b 2 mins
1, 2 verses

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

The only reason that DJ Booth is posting this is because they got called out for putting up a review of Culture 2 like 20 minutes after it dropped

 

[CapitalforCapital]

How did they rate it?

How did they rate it?

The way you expect someone to rate a double album 20 minutes after it dropped

Like all trends (even the trash ones), it was started by smarter rappers. In this case, Jay and Pac in their attempt to dumb themselves down for the simple-minded and image-driven. Jay with his "i'm not a rapper, I don't write anything down cuz I'm a hustler" nonsense mixed with Pac's simple-simon "I'm in the studio drunk slurring my words over these basic ass rhymes because I'm a [studio rapist] thug". Taken to new woat levels with an actual woat rapper Lil Wayne. Then xeroxed further.
