Not 1 correct answer has been said yet. Rocky the closest one and he don’t even count because the nigga started diving more into fashion they doing rap

Rocky fits that perfectly
Carti after his last album

The only true answer is Travis. His music feels so hollow. People literally look forward to whatever “vibe” or aesthetic he’s gonna do next, rather than the music because the music is just vapid

Earl Sweatshirt
Benny the Butcher
Freddie Gibbs

Westside Gunn

Lol yes idk how people are saying Rocky when he always has some serious content in his lyrics

Trab is just vibes and 'rage'

The material is the meaning

nah uzi a fire rapper

tf is this thread on. rocky, weeknd, gunna, and trav make incredible music

earl is what i was thinking of for the complete opposite

haha that was kind of the point of my reply

yeah but i agree with you on freddie and benny

damn fr? i feel like the're just straight bars and don't really try to hammer home a "brand" or esthetic

i'd say at this point in their careers they're reaching that plateau because as it's been said, you can only rap about selling cocaine in so many ways and they're definitely leaning into that part of their music

but i'd say that only happened recently and they definitely have the potential to switch it up

bullshit dichotomy cos then what does house/dnb any music without words mean

I agree but you can make the argument that he’s just as much of an influencer then he is a rapper imo

yeah he's eccentric and has good style. he's in that same class as like pharrell, tyler, ferg, rocky, gunna, etc where people like them and their fashion choices a lot as well as the music. I'd say someone like asap nast is more influencer than rapper
