Man I just relistened. Them 4 minutes had a nigga captivated

thought you linked Heart&Soul at first from the thumbnail. Gives credibility to the people all his stuff is the same lol

s*** heart and soul is 3 years old already

The ultimate thing people should take away from this is to put effort into rap. Whether it’s production or rapping itself

"us"

This isn’t a valid argument to critique my point bro lol

She’s right. Glad she said something

these niggas all sound the same lmfaooo i’m sorry.

Bro sound like Gunna and Thug fused together. There’s no originality here. Maybe ima old head but i’m tired of the same sound.

Anyone disagreeing with me

COME AND GET ME

Boom bap literally sounds the same

So Nas & Mobb Deep sound like Tribe?

conscious rap is a misnom to what people are discussing here. conscious should refer explicitly to the wave black star, common, and the roots belong to. this is to make sure we dont fall in the trap of conscious-unconscious which only confuses us further. TI was 'conscious' but thats not what we're talking about here

No because they’re excellent lol

You think all boom bap is Tribe level?

Sounding alike is just a sequitur for genre music

Tbf it was ALWAYS like this even before Elon bought it lol

Agreed

Back to this, I believe it but unfortunately do not think Hip hop’s evolution can be blamed on anyone but us

The problem (and i peed your “rappers tapped in their own lane”) is this type of production has been worn out tbh.

It got nothing to do with the content but like to this day imo this the best nba youngboy and not just cause the content but bro actually took a step out.

Me and yns (i think i forget the thread) was talking bout it in a thread but yb one of the rappers that imo could KILL if he worked on some blues/country type production.

And I say this as the same “we wAnT bEtTeR PrOdUcTiOn FrOm cOnSCiOuS rApPeRs” drivel that is RAMPANT on here somehow never transfers to the #otherside for reasons I don’t understand nigga s\*\*\* nigga s\*\*\* nigga nigga nigga s\*\*\* “sorry to bother you” type beat

Why are people still putting Kendrick in this box like he didn’t just give us Peekaboo and Hey Now

there’s a handful of people (including me) who “down Thug & Future” max

y’all usually too busy soullessly d***riding anything they put out, a couple of naysayers is okay

I love Doechii

nah that style of reductive hot take one liners has permeated all of music discourse, s*** is a virus

lot of cross pollination in between Twitter, forums, Reddit etc.

a portion of it is how people use music to signify their identity lol

it’s “cooler” to listen to Sexxy Red than it is Noname, it’s the same s*** with “mysterious music” and other forms of alternative/experimental music getting tossed out as “scaring the hoes music”

all has to deal with how other people think of it and perceive it

ehhhh yall know what she talking bout fam.

and I think future a hometown legend but I'm slick tired of yall niggas doing this lol.

i wouldnt blame people because its an order of things outside of their control. that said im all for things like gatekeeping

i was thinking about this after i commented and tbh youre right simply off of the fact that artists are now addressing this too
