Whoa Dave East is a monster!

my nikka hungry

At least he actually flowing and is audible, as opposed to slurring incoherently the same inane line over and over and over..

 

[PhonZhi]

So many better examples to make your case OP. I like Dave but when he raps over these trap beats

 

[spliz]

If anything I think it's the other way around, Dave sounded like he was tryna mimic Skippa Da Flippa's tone but couldn't figure out to deliver it.

I'ma let you cook though, Dave East ain't garbage but he is overrated imo.

How is he overrated? Especially on here. Everytime someone says something good about him. Someone has to turn around and shyt on him right after. It's the trend with every new NY rapper that gets mentioned on here. nikka's nitpick the artist to pieces. nikka could have Nas lyrics. Jay flow with prime Cam swag. nikka's will still shyt on him. It's not even surprising at this point.

No one is fukking with Dave East outside of New York and Jersey

That's why artists from all over the country are picking him up for features? Young and older?

 

[tybo]

He's really dope! You can't trust most Coli opinions, they have these terrible mumble rap guys as their personal faves!

 

[BodeineBrazy]

Dave East rap the same on every song, don't change his voice, cadence, timing, his punchlines are generic, subject matter always the same, how in the fukk is he a monster? Stop it

@A.V. I slept on ya music bruh, you definitely got it.

East got the look of a "NY savior"

Tall, good looking, mixed so he hits both black a latino demographics, cocky, from harlem etc..

But he is missing the intangibles that artists like Boogie, Young Ma, Cas, Phresher, Poppo, Sav n em posess

shyt you can even say Ave got a iller sthick n better tunes

That's where we disagree, the fact is Dave East got none of those going for him and its not even close. He can flow and he got a good voice... The rest of what he does is extremely average to the point of being derivative.

He's overrated because there's nothing that makes him stand out - and especially when talking about his music - other than the Nas cosign. At this point he simply isn't a standout talent and especially when put in context of the East Coast rappers who occupy similar territory. Is he seeing Skyzoo with the lyrics? Has he ever put out a project as complete as any of Meyhem Lauren's? Is his presence as distinctive/recognizable as Rocky's when he's on a song? Does he have the storytelling ability of someone like Roc Marciano? Even among his peer group he's extremely fukkin average. He doesn't have to have everything figured out but he needs to be able to do something that makes him stand out... As it is literally nothing does other than marketing.

Name artists from all over the country

I get it. U don't like the nikka. Simple as that. But in general. That's how it works on this site. Even the nikkas u named get shyt on by people on here. Just cause they from NY. When it comes to NY artists. There's no objectivity on this site. They can't just be alright. If nikkas don't have EVERYTHING. they garbage. Just had to argue with a few people on here about Don Q the other day for no reason. Cause people so thirsty to criticize any NY artist that gets bigged up. I remember when nikkas on here was saying Panda was wack. And i said if Future made it yall would call it dope. Regardless the fact Desiigner is a straight biter. nikkas called it straight garbage. Look how the country reacted to it. shyt blew up. And the nikka Dave East ain't overrated cause ain't Noone rating him. If u think he's overrated cause he has buzz than imma disagree with u. There's plenty people who fukk with him and his music and Noone is calling him the second coming of anything. But he damn sure deserves his shine cause he been grindin and there's FAR wacker rappers in the game that got a bigger buzz than him. Look at that whole fukkin XXL Freshman class. Dave East and Lil Herb stuck out like sore thumbs cause everyone else on that shyt was garbage on the mic. Dave would've fit in on a list with Don Q. Young MA. A Boogie. Etc etc.
