OP is the weakest link in his entire family.

that song sucks ngl would probably be an improvement

wow.

right?

lloool

op you exposing yourself

what did yall have for lunch today

somehow not surprised by these takes

honestly i stand by that, it pushed that discussion into the mainstream

nope.

you obviously started listening to rap music in the last 4 or so years and it's showing by this thread and that dumb take.

Just say you got into rap after 2015 buddy

jannies do you f***ing job.

lol no but please feel free to substantiate what you're saying

He got off on every song lmao

Dude said Kendrick wasted the momma beat he ate that s*** for three verses straight

Bro you’re saying mainstream rappers didn’t talk about their black identity until 5 years ago

You don’t see how ridiculous that statement is?

NWA, one of the most famous rap acts, are generally known for talking about the black experience in america / racism / policing etc in their raps ( F*** da police on of the biggest songs ever)

even before that, black artists across a multitude of genres sang/rapped about the black experience

Saying Kendrick started this "wave" is just plain stupid and shows you really haven't being paying attention to the genre (or black music) at all

released in 1978

can go back further and further but I really don't got the time, point should be obvious by now

OP saw how Archer was getting treated and got jealous

in the mainstream it had basically fallen out of fashion?

Either way TPAB brought it to a whole new level. Beyonce went from a regular popstar to doing songs like Freedom and features with Oumou Sangare. I can't imagine Hov doing 4:44 with no TPAB. People don't really remember what it was like before that album. Like obviously they talked about it but now it's like an essential part of their output
