    This is pretty much the side effects of the 808/Trap sound staying on top to long. This is also the side effect of people seriously debating against rappers like Kendrick for being boring compared to a guy like Future.

    Well everyone is entitled to their opinion at the end of the day. Kendrick can be "boring" to some.

    You and I can grossly disagree, but this is just Elliott's opinion.

    What do you mean by rapping?

    Rapping = bars and wordplay nowadays is just dust bro. Listen to rising voice like Carti, Yeat, Gunna and Juice (rip).

    Rap stopped being about "bars" a long time ago and now its next evolution has arrived in the form of "vibe".

    You can be spitting your ass off all day but thats not what most consumers are looking for nowadays.

    They want something catchy they can work out, ride around or shake ass to

    For sure but for Future to be considered “Best Rapper Alive” the bar has to be set extremely low while also moving the goalpost and I guess both have happened

    I mean that's absolutely where we at rn compared to the past hahaha, it's a whole new environment.

    But I agree it's not really fair to call someone the greatest simply because they have a lot of clones or whatever.

    It’s not an absurd thing to say but GQ has no juice to even weigh in on such a topic.

    I mean,rappers use to despise other rappers biting them,now having clones is an accolade. And the funny thing is that,Future hasn’t switched up that much since the Monster era. Rap culture is just in the junkyard at this point.

    I feel like they’re 7 years late on this claim because Future in 2015 was the closest thing we had to a Wayne run . All those projects, high quality features left & right, and incredible loosie tracks. chart placements & influence were there too l

    Future is more of an artist than rapper

    Rapping is a form of artistry. What's the distinction you're making?

    Not implying you're devaluing rap at all btw, you're my guy. But you just saying that cause of how melodic he is, etc?

    Gotta have bars and substance to be the best rapper imo

    Future lacks both even tho he’s dope. He’s just not that type of rapper.
