How is Kendrick a creative rapper but Keef or Thug isnt? Outkast? Weezy? Gucci?

Lol @ keef and Gucci

You think there are only two or three highly creative artists in each genre?

Who said those rappers weren’t? I said they aren’t many creative rappers. Are you dumb?

Yeah the niggas who invented 36 flows and influenced their entire generation arent highly creative.

Actually good point

I think if you ask the dedicated fans of a genre and not causal fans the list is smaller than we think. He missing some names but not that many.

Those were just off the top of my head. What makes you say that there arent many creative rappers?

Depends on what you define as creative

So pretentious lol

By what definition is tame impala more creative than Peewee Longway

Because they aren’t. If you listen to rap across the genre it’s derivative as hell

Freddie, Griselda, Boldy, Roc Marci etc all make great music but they make the same type of music. Structurally, productionwise and subject matter.

Thug, Future, Roddy, Lil Wayne and all the other derivatives can’t all be credited.

All you have is a few creatives and some derivative.

The artist OP names as far as rap isn’t stagnant sonically and that’s a major reason why they are considered more creative because they take more risk.

To me at least, TP became less creative with their new album. I don’t know who the other guy is

Artist (associated groups/people):

• Mark Stewart (The Pop Group, Tackhead, and solo)

• Tom Waits

• Brian Eno (Roxy Music, Talking Heads, Bowie, various collabs, and solo

• Luis Vasquez (The Soft Moon)

• David Thomas (Pere Ubu, various collabs, and solo)

• Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu)

• Nick Cave (& the Bad Seeds)

• The Durutti Column

• John Cale & Lou Reed (Velvet Underground, collabs, and solo)

• Nico (esp. her collabs with John Cale)

• Sonic Youth

• Solex

• Alan Vega & Martin Rev (Suicide and solos)

• Frank Zappa

• Public Image Ltd.

• Black Dice

• Joanna Newsom

• Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon, collabs, and solo)

• Laurel Halo

• Vampire Rodents

• Young Thug

• Madonna

• Lisa Germano

• Redman

• King Krule

• Chief Keef

• Perfume Genius

• Julia Holter

• Corbin (FKA "Spooky Black")

• Travis Miller (Lil Ugly Mane, Shawn Kemp, Bedwetter, and various others)

• Charli XCX

• The Knife

I see your point. I think its because rap is much more saturated than indie and its easier to pop. There are probably 1000 fake tame impalas thats not gaining any traction where as in hiphop every thug/youngboy influenced artist reaches some sort of platform

Anderson .Paak

That’s true I don’t follow those other genres intently enough but I’m sure dedicated fans would share the same sentiment of their genre. You’re right.

No ICP smh

op ignoring my recommendation....

brian eno for sure

no one itt realising this is bait...
