Oh. You're talking about Hov then.

Kendrick and J Cole. Big Sean too

Niggas not gonna like it but he literally just described Hov

Do you think Drake fits there too? I'm torn on him cuz we see so little of his personality outside of what he presents in his music (which is at odds with the personality that he does present irl)

Yeah his music is popular but he isn't. Khalid don't get as much press love as say Lil Nas X.

@Brave @XantaClaus LNX prolly the one tbh

If he can be consistent and stop making paninis def him

It might be generational too

Like all these dudes like hov and them we described are established. The young boys don't wanna be that

But maybe it takes time usually

I assumed you meant a hood/low-income nigga who's been embraced by everyone. Drake kinda weird. At least that's the vibe I got from him when he first blew up. Current Drake def a cool dude tho.

He can't fit because alot of his career has been assimilating to black people not being natural to it like say Kendrick.

Drake came off Canadian TV and has essentially had to rebrand as a mob boss to scrub that off him.

The fact you even thought about putting him tho says he's dome a good job tho.

Neither he,Ye or Pharrell couldn't fit the description imo.

S*** you could even say Gambino fits that mold but it would be a stretch

you might be right

Gambino is a cornball. He's logic except slightly cooler

The first part about assimilation

You mean like throwing a houston/lousiana hybrid accent when he raps or talks onstage instead of his soft toronto accent right?

Nah now I don't even get the criteria if Gambino and Drake can fit two dudes who essentially had to work to get the community to accept them could never represent the way Cardi does or HOV.

Diddy,Snoop even Ice cube are figures that fit that box.

Gambino,Drake,Ye,P are all dudes well known for having issues with black culture and identity in a way I don't think fits what @Brave is saying.

Yep that's what I mean. Someone who is associated with "black identity issues" wouldnt be allowed to be there.

I think Drake might fit once he hits 40 or so. Gambino almost shook it a lil bit on his run last year imo

Just in general the way he talks and acts has completely changed it isn't just in stage or an accent much like Gambino or Kanye & P he's a different dude now as black people have accepted him.

Yeah it's definitely Kendrick Cole and Sean for this generation.

Last decade had nobody. Too many issues with everyone. 90s had Nas. Meth was a cool nigga too. Biggie maybe.

Outside Biggie and Nas, you should see a trend in these artists and the perception rap has of them as well

Imo no matter how much time passes you can't shake it or get past it

You are who you are and anything after is character especially with dudes like Gambino and Drake who are actors.

Not to be shady but them niggas grew beards and started claiming they cities but they babymommas still white ya feel me?

what yall talmbout itt

Niggadentity

back to drinking

facts tho

Sober up son

Im not a fan of Gambino at all but the nigga did start some type of STEM s*** for black women. Gambino might date white people (nothing wrong with that) but anyone denying his pursuit of greater black wealth is mentally challenged.
