Bro a lot of people are talking about surface level things lol. Somebody hit me with this quote earlier and he’s half right. He’s also wrong because there are prominent albums and songs that have so much depth and meaning. Two things can be correct at once if anything he would have worded it differently.

Oh you agree with it so you’re biased. Coulda said that from the jump.

Most of us that have had the fortune of listening to hip hop since the 90s take offense to this comment since it’s just not true.

Just from the big 3 alone ((at their peaks)) all 3 of their most known albums were them talking about real s***.

I gotta remember there’s kids here that was born after 9/11.

kids born after 9/11 are as old as 22 now lol tbh that’s not even a great excuse anymore. I think it just comes down to a fanbase that no longer relates to most rappers (espc racially) and thus doesn’t value the culture. Rap music is global and pop now, which is good bc it enables so many ppl to change their lives financially. but it also def comes w this weird disconnect where these kids have nothing in common w their fav rappers and would probably call them a slur or wish jail on them if they saw them on the street

22 is still a kid. The frontal lobe aint as developed.

But yeah the globalization of rap was highkey a bad thing but we not gon talk about that.

Bias? How am I bias I said the same thing twice in this thread lol. When he said that quote it wasn’t in that time frame it was 2017 and a lot of people have surface level lyrics lol.

Not saying there isn’t s*** that doesn’t have meaning there is 100%. There needs to be songs to turn up to and songs with meaning. That’s part of the beauty of the genre but the more popular songs are the surface level lyrics. Just how it goes and personally I feel like that’s where his comment stemmed from.

It wasn’t worded the best but to blow up one quote and paint him as a “culture vulture” just seems like a reach. Think what you want I get it but c’mon now just feels like this is another reason for people to hate on him.

the more popular songs are the surface level lyrics.

Guess thats why surface level songs like ms jackson and doo wop still gets plays at the club.

We done here. Dont reply to me dawg.

Niggas relying on hip hop for the last 15 years like it aint decades and decades of this genre where the real s*** was what was popular.

Hate what this forum’s become tbh.

That’s literally NOT what i’m talking about lol you can’t even have a discussion you’re stuck in the past. Not talking about old songs “dawg” lmao

You acting like Carti & Future ain’t popping idk what clubs you are going to gotta be old head joints lol

oh bro white. Yeah this forum cooked cooked.

You a cornball lol

“Decades and decades”

Refuse to continue conversation with people that can’t read.

What a joke😂😂😂😂😂

Refuses to even have a discussion lmao enjoy your 90’s records bro lol

It's hilarious cause if he read the full quote Post literally said older rap music had meaning where they talked about life etc

He was s***ting on 2016 era rap like everyone aged 30+ did lmao.

You are 100% correct but nobody will admit it. Just selective reading & stems from already curated hatred for him but oh well what can you do.

idk if i can ever say it was bad long as its a vehicle for ppl to change their families lives

but yeah i get what ur saying and i think i agree for the most part

same time maybe im hypocritical idk im a whole brown rapper lmaoo. but still its sad to see how many ppl dont respect the art and culture or realize what its done for so many

niggas be trying to get ahead of things & crack they skull on a wall

white guy in his weezy phase

No why can't you fully go to hip-hop for that? The 2010s during that time could fill a ten album quota to cover those needs in emotional music

Tribe dropped
Isiah rishad dropped
Schoolboy dropped
Kanye dropped
Danny brown dropped
Noname dropped
Jcole dropped
Absoul dropped
Paak dropped
Vic mensa dropped
Vince staples dropped
Chance dropped

If post said muble rap. You are right. But he didn't. He viewed yatchy just about the same as any of these guys above cause it was the same genre.
