There was just a thread about N95 which was basically Kendrick chastising the kinda s*** rappers rap about and use as a flex come the f*** on now
It's stupid to criticize s*** you actively partake in. Every rapper who talks down on rapping about b****es, having money and being fly are all rappers who have done that and continue to do so in their music. That's why it'll always be a stupid thing to bring up.
Rap has ALWAYS been about those things and it'll always be about those things. The problem would be if it was ONLY about those things and anyone saying that is stupid because more than ever before, rap is diverse as f***. If you don't wanna listen to all the b****es/money talk, there are rappers that offer something different in their music and they're more visible than ever so complaining about s*** just shows that you're a lazy listener who wants to b**** and moan.
The only criticism I ever hear people make regarding drakes music on this site is that line.
Which makes me think people here don’t actually listen to it and just repeat what they see in threads.
It’s the equivalent of people criticizing kanye but only ever saying “bleached a******s”
Not to say that either is immune to criticism but it sounds disingenuous when you just use the ktt starter pack line lol
They use that line because that's all they can say lmao. Acting like Drake has never rapped about real s*** is choosing to be stupid.
Are you really trying to say rap is in better place rn than in 00's for example?
1000% percent because every kind of rap is available now.

Like if this guy sucks as much as they say they should be able to whip out more than one line lol
This such a s***ty take when there's so much variety in rap
This is all I'm saying. There's never been this much variety in rap, especially for anyone calling themselves a real fan of the art form. That's why complaining about the content of rap today is stupid because niggas have been rapping about this s*** for 30 years lmao. Nothing happening now is new.
1000% percent because every kind of rap is available now.
every kind of rap was available in 00's as well
You had Rocky getting into political raps, self-reflection, and insecurity all throughout Testing but you know. He been rapping about the same s*** 11 years ago.
Swear Drake stans are so used to hearing the same exact s*** on every album from Drake they automatically assume every other artist on the same tip
... he did that every album
Like if this guy sucks as much as they say they should be able to whip out more than one line lol
If that's the only "bad" line they can pick from 21 songs then that's okay lol.

No, it wasn't. Not like it is today.
are we ever gonna get a 'substance' era again?
Lotta artists with substance out rn. That's the beautiful thing about this current era of hip-hop, you can find exactly what you want and just stick with it.
You prefer hard street raps you got Griselda, Freddie Gibbs, and them.
You want that bullshit you got Yeat, 454, Trippie Redd and whoever the f***.
You want dusty conscious raps you got Mavi, Navy Blue, Tha God Fahim, etc.

Again, he isn't even talking down on it. You just being sensitive as f***. Even then he can talk down on it if he wants because Testing was out of the ordinary in regards to his subject matter because...HE'S GOTTEN OLDER. What a f***ing shock.
I also have no idea what the f*** Soulja Boy is even talking about in his response because it's not like Rocky is wrong with what he said. Soulja Boy stay talking about how he was influential and how he used the internet to get where he's at and how he was the first one to do it, and how he doesn't get his credit for it. The nigga relished in being that "Young nigga making old niggas mad". Now that he is basically given his credit for it it's all "Niggas don't know what they talking about!" Nigga been so d***ged out he don't even remember the type of time he been on since he got started

And I know you ain't talking about f***in growth content wise when you are a f***in Drake stan and he damn near been making the same album since Take Care content wise
Drakes content has been more diverse from day one though
This, coming from the person who just dropped a single titled D.M.B. where he's rapping about s*** he was rapping about 11 years ago, which is nothing? What growth has his music ever shown content-wise? Nigga should shut the f*** up and sit the f*** down. The absolute worst messenger and the message itself is stupid.
But what he’s saying isn’t wrong tho
