It's kind of is though? Honestly why would you even want to listen to a lyrical rapper if you didn't think the person was cool or smart. It's like taking advice from a dumbass.

I feel like 3k and OutKast in general is a bad example here because they were never really respected like that until later in their careers. Like no one ever really thought Andre was that cool until he became all quirky and started switching his style up...

In the black community yeah because dudes thought he was gay for dressing like that hence the Return Of The G

I feel like being "cool" actually plays way more of a part in todays music than it did before, strange because we seem to have a shortage of "cool" artists present day

I hope I'm still on the right track on this discussion cause I kind of forgot what we initially started talking about lol

Because his music is not that good bro. I like Smino but lets be honest that crooning lyrical weird voice s*** gets old. Drake makes way more accessible music for the masses and his main subject in his songs is usually relationships and love which people can relate to these days.

Why Smino isn't a superstar seems pretty obvious... Dude is a good artist and rapper but he obviously doesn't make music that is going to attract the masses. His s*** is too experimental and backpacker. Plus his style is honestly too cool for most people to comprehend. Drake makes it work because he does a s***ty copy cat version of Smino's style that regular nerds can try to emulate

Regular kids not copying that Smino sauce

Except a lot of political rappers with inaccurate ideas in the 90s amassed mass followings lol

And you rewriting history like niggas wasnt looking for 3k verses throughout the 2000s is wild but you got it.

Well yeah, people had less access to information through the internet back then so it's only natural people would subscribe to more "inaccurate ideas"

And nah bro, Big Boi was the more respected one in the group until Andre started dating Erykah and switching his style up.

I accepted that niggas really won't appreciate dudes like Q-Tip, CD Ye, Mos, or someone like Common nowadays.

Especially when society and hip-hop has pushed for niggas to model their image and sound to be like Wayne.

DOOM lowkey is street to me but not like what you’d typically say

I put him in a Sean Price, Ghostface, Raekwon type category tbh

The problem with conscious rappers is they're all hypocrites which is why it's hard to take them seriously lol

Common always kicking that love s*** while being a known womanizer

Mos Def being an insane person with that global passport s***

I was born in 95 so obviously I didn't have my ear to the streets back then but from my understanding is that Big Boi was the more respected rapper in the group until Love Below

Smino literally sounds exactly like his contemporaries. This is why Chuck made this f***ing tweet

Nah fr its really just DOOM’s production taste and aesthetic that got him his fanbase

Because his lyrics is I LOVE ROBBING NIGGAS ROBBING NIGGAS IS LIFEEEE
