Of course the kendrick stan is trashing hiphop

A lot of rappers dont love rapping tbh

F*** off

I want to be the best artist in the world. The only way I can do that is if I can show that I can do something other than rap

.

With that being said, country is still different. They put a lot more into it

.

But I love that they care about the story. I love rap, but I feel like that’s what it has been missing

These are just objectively false statements and come off as a knock on rap. why do you have to do something other than rap to be the best artist in the world ? Saying country puts a lot more care into it than rap is silly. If rap is missing the story element so is country

i’m from dallas and i hate how this nigga of all the rappers we have blew up

Okay so now that you’ve said that how about an actual thought that I can reply to.

That part

All I see is an artist that has engaged in both worlds saying how he feels.

The way he describes rap isn't surprising to me because most of mainstream rap this decade has been s***.

Everything doesn't have to be seen as offensive.

and those same ppl push out those that do care to the issue we have now with 2020s rap

not just caring music artists but all also from producers to engineers to creative directors, visual artists n even some business ppl - killed the love n joy n sense of purpose for them

You fw Montana n Zillionaire music?

Besides not being able to recreate some vocal takes live (which you probably cant even if written). Its not much different from writing.

like if someone hums a melody to the beat then thinks of lyrics that fit then they slowly evolve it into a hook. they just went to the studio instead of writing it all out.

why prove yourself to a genre that will be dead within a few years?

You must be as oblivious as he is....he clearly started off with rap because it helped him jump out the gate and now that he found country and its doing so well on the charts....hes fully embracing it.

Now hes trying his best back to wash his hands free of rap so the Country Whites can accept him 💔 just as Post malone did

If that's how you took what he said then fine. Still, I don't see him insulting rap. All he did was share his own personal experience working in both spaces. You can remain offended if you choose, of course.

i do fw montana tho he’s tough

I been thinking this a lot. People only knowing how to punch in is making the art of “emceeing” become a lost art if that makes sense. Like a lot of these young rappers aren’t built to rap in cyphers

On me

Know someone who stayed playing this

Till I asked him and he put me on

yea but doing that in one take on the mic is an entirely different set of energy and emotion that comes across on the mic versus punching in on different days off different zones

like that video of Young Thug getting his punches to sound correct and the engineer did like 60 punches in a short video, at some point, you’ve kinda gone away from the song and are now just tryna make sure it’s finished and sounds good

Country sucks

He probably don't even write half his raps

The problem I have is two fold

That might be an issue with a lot of current hip hop but not hip hop in general. He’s just sounding like someone who’s never put in serious effort or listened to any notable hip hop albums with great writing and good production

Also current country music is not even a good comparison. That s*** is just as watered down and generic as the lamest current hip hop you can think of

Definitely a maga ass take tho

If you gotta say this to cope, I understand.
