Who are rappers you think get credit for their rapping ability, you don't think are nice

[JMD]

Prime Prodigy....and I like mobb deep a lot. I just never heard Prodigy and went wow.

Canibus....shoulder shrug.

Jim Jones...shoulder shrug.

agree about Jimmy. he never impressed me

but both P and Bis were beasts during their prime

 

[Roland Coltrane]

JRo was nice

Jro fukking SUCKS.
him to Tash is like Big Pooh to Phonte

Common ( nikka is not a top 20 MC)

I believed he was up until Electric Circus
that three album run from Resurrection to One Day It'll All Make Sense to Like Water For Chocolate in unparalleled

gave up on him for a while and then he came out with Be after after a hiatus and it was
everything else from him has been middling to trash ever since
that project with Robert Glasper and Kareem Wiggins, as well as the one with Cocaine 80s were

I really threw him in the bushes after he went on the Daily Show and said racism would end he said something along the lines of "Black people need to extend a hand of love to white people"

RIP Mac Miller, he had great production and seemed to love the craft.

That said, I never liked his mushy delivery and never thought he had anything interesting to say

I don't know anyone who was praising mac for his lyricism

Kendrick shouted him out on Control, lots of threads on here praising him here you can search em up. I actively avoided him for years

Content wise, I could never take Lil Wayne seriously, he made kid music imo, like music specifically just for teenagers. For yall Wayne fans, how's his shyt aging? I figured that shyt would age like milk because it was so childish and weightless.

But how can people hear his rapping ability and think he's not nice? Lil Wayne can rap rap rap man, still today. Listen to any posse cuts with Wayne on them, lol, 99% of the time he ate everybody and clearly stole the show. I can tell all he does/did was write raps (or however he created his stuff)...that's a rappin ass dude. Some of the punches and wordplay were reaches of course, but some of them were actually pretty good here and there, and his delivery/flows is insane.

All pre-punchline era wayne aged very well tbh, that's mostly everything before around 07, I listened to dedication 2 not that long ago and was impressed how much I still liked it. His newer stuff is still rockin too IMO I still bump a healthy amount of songs from C5

But yeah, wayne raps, raps and raps, all of the skills people have praised other rappers before wayne has used them before and then some. The skill level is undeniable, but like you said, the content is questionable often times, but these days most rappers do

Mac is another example of a rapper being praised for the quality of their music but not necessarily his ability. I sincerely feel that if you felt that people were praising his rapping ability, you misunderstood the praise. Feel free to disagree, but I seriously don't know ANYONE who looks at Mac as this pen and pad, virtuoso MC with bar after bar

J Cole didn’t have my respect too much until around 2016 onwards…

He’s improved as a rapper as time has passed

His early shyt>>

These young nikkas act like Lil Baby the second coming of Rakim

 

[Art Barr]

this is the inferior version.


the white label to nikkaz we roll with is the better version and in that canibus.
never recorded any good records ever after nikkaz we roll with.
plus his technical skills never upgraded and became completely outdated.
after the sonic landscape as well.
not to mention,..all the other fukkery.

Right he’s


Listen to his verse on Benny The Butcher newish song

I heard it lol its not a bad verse but it didnt blow me away

That verse overrated imo. Bro, y'all could've done better than he did.

Kodak Black

Nah, for a Florida street rapper Kodak got bars. He's pretty funny and witty as well.

Say Nah all you want

I will never think he’s nice

That’s the title of the OP

But it’s ok though you do you

He’s always been mid. They always jock that one freestyle song and nothing else. They were so ready to anoint him as the next big star when there’s nothing special about him at all. Even tried making Lil Durk seem like he didn’t at all belong making a joint album with him when neither guy is some blow away artist.
