Yea it's borderline pathetic.
It be crazy how niggas got thoughts about u but u don’t even know them all we gotta do is chop it up and I bet all your hate against me will be gone but u niggas decide to sit back and foster hatred towards a brother. That’s that envy boosie be telling y’all about but u hate him cause he trolled a troll grow up lil bro
He’s right. Travis be creating the most grandeur persona and hype just to drop tracks like Escape Plan
And Travis stans will force you to believe Utopia will be any good off them mid ass songs
Ur describing art.
Trav been ass at music, everyone in the Stu makes it for him
He’s artful at finessing, been known
You shouldn’t have to say it 7/10 it’s artist who want “white” acceptance or have a larger white fanbase

Literally was about to post that sounds like art to me lol
they don’t post that jpegmafia avi on the first page of op threads anymore. he won
stupid ass take
some rappers only want to rap
others don’t necessarily care about bars only and don’t want to be boxed into the rapper category
because rap has some of the worst fans criticizing any artist who does something else because “it’s not hip hop enough” “not enough bars” “double entendres” ext.
You can't lie though, people put you in a box once you're labelled as a "rapper". Like if you want to venture into other genres and s***, people aren't going to be as receptive to it because they already see you as a rapper. Tyler said on the Cherry Bomb documentary, he wants to make Stevie Wonder type music because he feels it's more timeless. He makes IGOR years later and he gets the Best Rap Album Grammy
I think it's to avoid how the world sees them rather than any shade or disrespect towards rap as a genre. Kanye said the same thing, people use it as a label to disrespect him
I agree with a post by u? this the twilight zone
Nah but fr i hate them buzzwords. Only time ill accept the word “pretentious” being used in an art context. Cause that s*** mad lame and condescending
While we’re at it let’s talk about black artists making pop songs but only getting put into urban contemporary music/ flat out called rap, or called rnb or some s***
it’s the equivalent of “I’m not black I’m Dominican”
Nah some dominicans aren't black
it depends on the sales
popular music = pop
so if an artists sells millions, they will be labeled as pop
if they don’t, they will be labeled in their actual genre
pop music encompasses all genres, really, once a particular song becomes a popular hit
pop is an actual genre
Rappers are artists & Rap is art.
But yall let them get away with this s*** since early to mid 2010s so it is what it is now.
Its kanyes fault
For instance post malone won best rap album at the american music awards one year, look at him now he’s doesn’t even get nominated for rap awards anymore it’s all pop and rock s***
Now if uzi was to make strictly pop music from here on out and took the post malone route, you think they’ll nominate him for pop or rock? Hell no
U notice how them niggas who be calling theyself artists be saying it all the time bro trying to force a narrative or brainwash u into thinking that s***? I haven’t heard a nigga like Ross or Andre or Peggy call theyself artist unless they talking about recording artists. Niggas like travis and ye really think they a weird painter or something s*** funny and weird lol but folks eat it up so maybe they onto something
Like bro they really want suburban white acceptance that s*** so cring e to me bro
Its more to it then just wanting to pander to white audiences. If i produce, make beats, mix and rap why the f*** would i want to be known as just a rapper?
Always goes back to reference point. The stigma attached with rapper makes people run away and self define themselves as something else.
But I will never not see Ye as a rapper because he does so much rap s*** I cant be mad at him calling himself an artist.
He took Waka Flocka to Paris Fashion Week in 2011 to perform there. Bridging the gap since way back. Even him freestyling with Future shows me who Ye is. A Rapper.
his drink champs interview cemented that to me as well

That's because people complained
pop is an actual genre
I wouldn't say pop is a genre because it can't really be defined and has no real identity. Hip-hop is pop now until a new genre takes its place. Pop is just short for popular

How many mainstream people doing that...
