why is nine vicious a nostalgia baiter for recreating covers of goats his 2025 mixtape series (2 EPs and a mixtape) lol why would you care about this
we really listening to kankan schizoid rants hes always hated on people after him hes basically been on some sgp s*** bro its nothing new

do yall not remember all the 90s throwback s*** in the 2010s im lost

I need that Dame Grease energy more than anything

I don't think he's the future of rap

It’s cheap and not done with any taste. Pac cover for an album called tumblr music just for none of this to be reflected in the music at all.

When slayworld came out they had their influences but they came with some new s***. Can’t really say that about the gen that came after them

bro it is a gimmick to call himself the goat with 1 mixtape and two eps from an artist that literally just a few months ago started popping again who CARES it could just look cool bro
and that album has multiple pac references, bars about it, song titled, and some purposefully throwback elements. This is such a nothing burger, just invest your energy in something more useful. why have i seen so much discourse about something so unimportant? Kodak did literally the exact same thing with a biggie cover 10 years ago

Lots of rappers call themselves the goat right out the gate though. Idk I just feel like the way he did it is a corny way to go about it. Hes still young though so he has room to grow. Hes at least better than Osamason

its just another way to do it
kodak did it TEN YEARS AGO he recreated a biggie cover called the album lil big pac and unlike nine had no references or samples or bars about it in the album
whats wrong with osamason

have we considered he just likes paying homage to the things that inspired him and he liked from the city he grew up in

The difference with Kodak is he did it for one tape vs these niggas running the gimmick for multiple projects. Also he is a way better rapper than Nine Vicious but that’s just opinion.

Like this s*** is lame as hell. Makes you not even wanna listen to him fr

nine. did it. for. his first 2 EPs that were lead ups. to the mixtape. where he had multiple songs and bars referencing pac. whether you think hes a better rapper is irrelevant. this is such a stupid thing to care about

i dont see whats wrong with that osamason cover. he thought it was a hard pic he recreated it for a mixtape cover, hes not even recreating someone else's cover hes just paying homage to his goats. his next tape had this cover, which i liked a lot

Bro this nine vicious kid has a pac cover, 2 thug covers, an MJ cover and a prince cover.

It shows no originality or creativity. That’s why it turns people off. Just attaching your self to albums/niggas that people already accept as classic. It’s tacky

he has 2 EPs and an album
Before tumblr music was where he recreated a prince cover
Studio addict he recreated BAD
the album these led up to, tumblr music he recreated all eyez on me
the theme of this series obviously is paying homage to legends and some of the biggest albums of all time. on the pac one he has multiple titles bars and beats paying homage to pac or that era. its not that deep its just a lil marketing gimick. again, who gives a f*** just judge him on the music.

who gives a f*** just judge him on the music.

We are judging him on the music and it’s nothing special that’s why he’s catching extra flack for all these lame references he does because the music ain’t adding up 😂

You aint gotta like the music, but then just say how u dont like the music and debate it, dont make something thats such a non issue such as having an era where u got a few covers referencing legends the focus. I think theres way more important and interesting conversations to be had. or ideally just dont listen to it and prop up the music you like

Bro it all goes hand in hand. Art direction is a very important part of music. You can’t just tell niggas not to discuss it or that it doesn’t matter. Obviously how the music sounds is important but his music isn’t anything crazy. That’s why he has to do these references in the first place

oh my god dawg he wanted his direction to be a silly lil series where he recreates classic covers. actually discuss art direction theres cool convos to be had there dont just s*** on a new artist for the most inconsequential s*** ever for multiple threads and videos and thinkpieces this is so silly

a lot of people like his music, YOU dont like it. plenty of people do the same reference legends thing and arent big or bubbling. I never heard anyone even reference his covers before ktt and this new album lol. I heard the F&N hook and homophobes getting mad at him for how he wears his hair

“I never heard anyone even reference his covers before ktt and this new album lol. I heard the F&N hook.”

He went more viral for the baby hair and copying s*** than he did for his music initially

i promise you F&N, U Fancy, and tokyo didnt get their streams because the EP studio addict's cover referenced the album bad by micheal jackson. None of these projects were even out when U fancy came out. which is his biggest song to date. baby hair thing did trigger some people which got more eyes on him, be mad at the reactionary old heads

don’t know why people pin point this kid like he’s massively unoriginal he has more interesting ideas than guys like baby & gunna did when they were viewed as thug clones & a lil more raw talent—if the thug clone thing were a non starter wouldn’t be s*** going on out here man lol

He doesn’t have anything near “too hard”

he has more interesting ideas than both these dudes to me at their start point including beat selection I ain’t talking about one song

I understand why some people would be against it but every generation pays homage to the past in their own way

I look at it as a way to show your taste. A lot of artists use their inspirations for source material and then turn it into a new wave too

When I first got into Curren$y music I loved how he rapped on 90s beats I already enjoyed. In his 08 mixtape series he rapped on like 4 Ski Beatz tracks. Eventually they worked together on Pilot Talk

Certain songs get sampled all the time. Certain flips/loops get reused as a nod to the past as well

We should honestly call this the hand me down generation
