    ya well Lil Yachty obviously isn't taken serious so what do u want him to do (as a rapper or otherwise)

    he's speaking from the perspective of his career and you applying it to all of music lol

    he deadass said, "im not saying you cant be a rapper and be a artist"

    cooked him

    Like I know what Yachty means and I know he aint intentionally devaluing hip hop, I'm asking why is it that sentiment is so goddamn common within the hip hop o'sphere @ghosting

    oh, mainly bc ignroance/racism from people that don't understand the genre

    and it's mostly white media's fault

    I'm asking who is to blame for that perspective. I remember Yachty going up to Hot 97 vividly. I remember Ebro's dumbass tryna give Uzi Vert a DJ Premier beat to freestyle over.

    Ebro himself is probably singlehandedly responsible for the rise of nojumpers and DJ Akademiks platforms. While him and all those archaic ass radio hosts were belittling and laughing that new generation of rappers out the room, other platforms grew from giving them shine (e.g. DJ Akademiks)

    this partly bc he blew up off a "meme song" and bc the old guard of rap thought u had to be really lyrical or something to be considered a real "rapper"

    its kinda the same reason why it took Future so long to get serious flowers and break free from the "mumble rapper" label despite being on of the best rappers and a genre innovator for over a decade

    which is odd cause if you was down here future was already bubbling up with joints like Tony Montana

    eye contact

    Everyone who listened sure

    But not many people listened compared to other projects

    Is this from the general public deciding to always write him off, or there were just no catchy hit type songs on MBB?

    rapping is the technical skill of rapping and artistry is the overall creation of music. that’s why there’s rappers and hip hop artists yachty didn’t say anything bad about rapping it’s just part of one’s overall artistry

    How come he doesn't consider the two to be mutually exclusive?

    Yachty has been bullied for a while now for being a “mumble rapper”

  • Feb 23, 2023

    Lil Yachty has definitely grown to be a very good rapper, but the unfortunate fact about the close-mindedness towards his rapping is that it isn’t so much about his rapping ability…as it’s about his voice

    Anyone who shoots down his “rap ability” is really shooting down giving him the title of a good rapper cause of his voice. It’s unfair but yeah

    That would imply that people call Yachty a bad rapper because he doesn’t have this things, and that rap fans expect catchy hits when they grade rappers

    Two untrue things

    Mid. He has good direction but cmon man... you aint prove yourself as a good rapper.
