    needing to be perceived as nonchalant or mysterious without any real lived experience or the underlying swag thats needed is the problem lol. probably a result of our online society putting more emphasis on having a more individualized, curated expression, rise of micro-niches, isolation, etc.

    Danny didn’t start getting his flowers until he got a Caesar and fixed his teeth

    Also took him to water down his sound across two tapes (unknowhatimsaying, Quaranta) and the latter was a weedplate

    XXX was a known classic.

    @Nikedufflebag by the time stankonia came out niggas got over it.

    Yeah I know. EYE was there.

    Danny wasn't accepted

    yeah. That critically panned mixtape that niggas (WHO WAS THERE) hated because of his weird aesthetic.

    There is an education crisis going on in this country. That couple with a growing anti-intellectual movement, niggas can't even read a***og clocks anymore.

    Don't get me wrong I like reading a book here and there, however those who insist it's the most productive way to teach yourself over the Internet, ChatGPT, memes, and real life experience is on some dumb s***.

    Imagine y'all speaking to a chick in the club and flexing ike:

    "oh yeah that Dean Koontz paperback i bought was completed in 2 days."

    She gonna be dryer than a desert.

    Bookheads need to be more inclusive.

    and on the bigotry aspect: I just seen gen z done cancelled that one dude's career with that viral dance that came out as bi and seen a lot of transphobia within the underground scene (which is ironic considering the aesthetics all dem niggas borrow from is pretty much lgbtq stuff)

    90s and 00s we didn't have the language and knowledge, and thus a lot of ignorance was allowed. Wasn't okay then and nothing can justify. I'm just explaining what the vibes was as a nigga that was there. Them Ace Ventura movies is nasty to look at now.

    i'm tired of whispering and i'm especially tired of rappers not rapping 80% of their own songs at their show. like it doesn't have to be pitch perfect, idc if you use autotune, idk if you let the audience sing some choruses, but so many of these new kids just either can't or will not rap a single verse all the way through. it's frustrating lol

    They aren’t lol

    Niggas be so desperate to feel included with us for some reason

    I do not want to be included with gen z
    no disrespect lmao

    rather late

    Its pretty much impossible to be cool and famous nowadays
    You have to be hyperaware and everything you do is getting clipped and will be available for millions to see
    Your brain knows this and will adjust

    Being cool is appearing effortless. This is the opposite of that

    Panopticon type s***

    The UK hype feels like the "Thing vs Thing but in Japan" meme I don't hear any gap between them and the niggas in America they just have accents

    thank you

    This cool but the issue is its trying to "restore the feeling" using one of objectively the coolest songs we grew up with.

    Nobody is creating that feeling of them being themselves and cool --- its just pluck and play formulas (let me be mysterious like Carti or act like another variation of Future)

    ” its just pluck and play formulas (let me be mysterious like Carti or act like another variation of Future)”

    I mean a lot of niggas don’t wanna admit it but a lot of people don’t fw s*** unless it sounds like stuff they already are conditioned to listen to and like lol

    What worth is it trying to genuinely make your own lane and do a different sound and direction just to get dismissed as scaring the hoes music as opposed to just going with what works lol
