I think it’s different in that he’s a legacy act with an established career.

Gambling sort of shifted away from rap right as he was going to hit his prime

All I heard so far is Lithonia and that’s a rock song

he hasn't dropped an actual rap project or anything close to it in a decade. and yeah by that logic alone sure you could say the same about Andre 3000 but when Andre finished he left behind a very sizable and undeniable hip hop discography and Childish didn't when he decided to branch out musically.

exactly

people really put Aesop rock, odd future, bino in alternative hip hop and I'm not sure if that's right I ain't mad tho

well

Is he... you know? 🥚

Maybe 3k is a bad example because you're right about being a legacy act. My point is just who cares about frequency. Nobody makes this argument about anybody besides here about Gambino

Was Kendrick not hip-hop for taking a long haitus after his biggest project? If you think Gambino corny or his music isn't good that's one thing, but he is hip-hop. He previewed a lot of his next album and there is a lot of rap on it

Someone who agrees, explain what hip-hop culture is and what Donald is lacking

type s***

I can’t wait til the documentary comes out highlighting all of these guys then watch all the bloggers and journalists act like they showed them love. Those guys being shunned from the culture is a big reason why mainstream hip hop is in the state it’s in right now.

He's definitely apart of hip-hop culture lol I swear man nigga's make one R&B/soul and suddenly everybody forgets you were a rapper for decade prior

Listened to the whole clip and dude just doesn't know what he's talking about lol

There's literally nothing different. You're moving goalposts to support a bad take.

White man

this

I see the vision Donald is more known for his comedy stand up to career than his music. Drake would’ve been in the same boat if degrassi had more appeal in the US

I’d like this take more if it was coming from anyone but Elliot Wilson

He can f*** off.

This is what rap is all about

I kinda understand what he’s saying

I don’t quite agree with some of the terms he used, like “cosplaying” and s*** like that, seems negative, but I see what he’s trying to say

This doesn’t mean I agree at all

Nobody knows Donald more for his comedy, didn’t he only have like 1 special and it was ass?

This is really all he saying

Gambino has more rap projects than anything else music wise

what are we talking about here
