    in recent years we have seen just how powerful narratives are in our world today

    how can we ensure that the stories being told are based on truth?

    how do we keep Hip Hop real?

    here is an example of a narrative in hip hop today

    "Pac wasn't that great technically speaking"

    a lot of people today see these statements posted and take it as their own

    how do we ensure people listen for themselves and find the truth?

    highlighted posts

    "The concept of mumble rap"

    "Mumble rap doesn't exist it's an arbitrary label created by outsiders of hip-hop. It's one thing to not like an artists output but when it became an issue where these white bloggers and corporate publications started insulting black art on a basis of intelligence they lost me. Uzi, Carti and Yachty are all lyrical rappers but what made niggas like Hov, Pac and Kendrick special is they went above and beyond. That can't be expected as the only standard though. Most of these young dudes can flow on old school beats anyway see Trippie Redd, XXXTentacion and Lucki." - @BLKAMRCNPSYCHO

    Perception is reality. Your truth is someone else's wrong opinion. Can't stop opinions from being given

    Perception is reality. Your truth is someone else's wrong opinion. Can't stop opinions from being given

    you don't see a problem with people not forming their own opinions though?

    my issue isn't with the statement

    it's the people who haven't actually decided for themselves

    I accepted people as sheep. Introduce relation in a few and suddenly everyone pees at the side of the toilet to make less noise.

  • You're really bothered by that thread

    Jesus christ dude some people like Wayne better than Pac.

    You got to stop caring so much about other people's opinions

    Bruh he’s been phoning it in for years now. He used to actually sound like he wanted this rap s***, and his singing wasn’t perfect but it definitely portrayed a lot of emotion. Just feels like his stuff these days is devoid of life but the hype just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I could stand it if it was maybe just an outsider Twitter Stan type thing, but ktt is straight obsessed with this man like he actually is doing something besides constantly charting and selling well. The music does not resonate

    Why do you think they don't decide for themselves? If someone doesn't think Pac was all that you must think it was because of someone on the internet? it's that unbelievable to you?

    Songs like Jaded, Not You Too and Time Flies aren't devoid of life

    And BB King, When To Say When and War show he's at his peak rapping ability

    You're seriously not listening because you're speaking cap right now

    i get what you mean

    and i would have agreed
    with you some years ago

    when views dropped especially

    i like a lot of people tuned into
    joe's podcast and my thoughts were similar

    years removed from that
    and in going back to it

    i'm finding that i resonate with it a lot

    same with More Life

    the pusha beef was a massive L at the time

    and i HATED scorpion when it dropped

    (the chopnotslop version
    is fire though i've discovered)

    but it was dark lane demo tapes
    that fully brought me back in

    songs like not you too and
    losses are prime drake cuts to me

    and i get the sense that CLB will be the return to form that you're looking for

    in conclusion

    i feel you

    and i appreciate you having your own opinion

    i hope you enjoy his next release
