for some reason I divide rap artists on rappers rappers and those who just happened to rap well
examples:
rappers rappers:
Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Future, Nas, Lil Durk, Lil Keed, Youngboy, Travis Scott, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Pac
those who just happened to rap well:
Playboi Carti, A$AP Rocky, Snoop, Young Thug, Schoolboy Q, Chief Keef, Curren$y, Lil Gotit, Money Man, Big Sean, Lil Baby, Yeat, Biggie
Jay is somewhere in between
definitely not saying one group is > than another
I don’t even know what makes me see it like that but it is what it is
maybe someone can relate
what u think
RaRa (also formerly known as Young Capone) is definitely a rapper rapper given how he’s been rapping since 13 years old and could eat up your favorite rapper on a track
youngboy better
I’m not getting the hype with this rapper, he goes in on the track though his music isn’t for my taste
In fact I’ll stand with the take that RaRa is doing what YB thinks he’s doing, respectfully.
How is Jay not a rappers rapper when the best in your rappers rapper list holds him as the GOAT
Also how is Travis & Uzi a rappers rapper but not Snoop or Big? that should be reversed asap
Jay was such a rappers rapper he literally had to dumb his lyrics down to become more accessible
For those of y'all saying Trav is not a rapper's rapper, peep this verse below. Bruh has so many hidden metaphors and deep s*** that flys over most ppl's head:
"Nightmare, high-life, sleepy, night-night (Yeah)
Flashes, spotlight, pull up, night sky (Yeah, yeah)
Help it, peace, peace, peaced it (Yeah)
Bite me, ride me (Yeah), strike me, indict me (Yeah, yeah)
Snipe it, swipe it, rapper, trapper (Ooh, yeah)
I'm lit, light–(Yeah)—nin' (Lit)
White b**** (Bitch), she thick (Thick)"
I dumb down for my audience and double my dollars
They criticize me for it yet they all yell "Holla"
If skills sold truth be told
I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli
Truthfully I want to rhyme like Common Sense (But I did five Mil)
I ain't been rhyming like Common since
I’m not getting the hype with this rapper, he goes in on the track though his music isn’t for my taste
In fact I’ll stand with the take that RaRa is doing what YB thinks he’s doing, respectfully.
chimp1 might be up your alley
it’s not about lyrics or flow at all
maybe it’s more of an image type thing or going too hard about you music idk
but for some reason I see Thug and Future in different categories
Are you trying to say rappers rappers are skill based while the other group is just rappers who naturally have a voice and personality that suits rap well?
like rappers in group 2 give a feeling like they don’t care that much about this rap s*** or something
How the f*** is Meek Mill the 2nd guy that came to your head to put on the list
he’s probably the most rapper rapper of all time to me
big fan of Meek btw
You lost me when you put Em and Wayne in the same circle as Travis Scott but Biggie and Big Sean in the same circle as playboi carti
I don’t get you and idk if I want to get you
like rappers in group 2 give a feeling like they don’t care that much about this rap s*** or something
Oh I think I know what u mean. Definitely could of worded this thread better even then the lists are still wonky a lil
