Nothing wrong with that

That Lil Nas X sho is funny.

'funny'

So honestly, his music isn't bad. I really think he's a talented artist.

The reason I consider him a cornball because he knows that if he didn't have "attention grabbers" or gimmicks to keep his fanbase entertained then he would lose them to someone else.

He knows his demographic is young, he knows the attention span of them is low.

It comes off as corny to someone like me because I don't need to hear about "controversies" every 5 days he does to keep people entertained.

Once again, no diss to him, his music is tight, I just don't like his character.

Respectable

I feel like this could apply to any artist that knows their audience though. It seems like for some reason theres so much emphasis on Lil Nas X maintaining a gimmick over other artists for whatever reason

And since when is LNX a rapper???

People use this convo about him as an excuse to buy into these stereotypes about black men

This nigga not even a rapper but he’s a black man that makes “urban” music so he’s looked at as a hip hop artist to non blacks and self hating negroes

Amen brother

People really think LNX is funny?

To be honest bro, it's just cause he's at the fore-front right now

At least his music is good. If this was someone who was genuinely a bad person, I'd easily be like "fuck this dude". But nah, Lil Nas X seems like a genuinely good guy. Just the way he markets himself to the audience is questionable sometimes.

Bro stfu just cause it ain’t meant for u don’t mean it corny lol
He’s not even controversial stupid they just speak on everything he does cause he’s gay get a f***ing life

Love Lil Nas album & T-Pain but not every rapper has to be funny

He always called himself a rapper

Imagine thinking Nas X is funny

Sorry T-Pain, but maybe other rappers don't want to pose pregnant in photos in order to be funny.

Pretty sure Lil Nas X is considered a popstar at this point, he takes his brand less seriously than rappers do because, in his own words, he isn't one

Then what's "popstar but the rappers still respect me"

"Im a pop nigga like Bieber"

Ofc y’all are hating on this lmfao he’s right

tbh hes just a regular guy making jokes and memes on social media like everyone else. Some people compare him to 69 which is kinda outrageous

You's a meme, you's a joke, been a gimmick from the go
All the things that you do, just to get your face to show
Oh, you think you big s***, big pimpin', let me know
Ain't the next big thing, you the next thing to go
Now, can you prove yourself? Everybody waitin'
I'm just being real, swear somebody hatin'
I don't see you lasting long and that's just me being honest
Even if your album okay, it's floppin', that's a promise, oh

Rappers call themselves rockstars why can’t he call himself a pop star too

Masked Kanye with the sunday service choir need to write a song s***ting on him like during 808s sessions

Okay but do those rappers purposefully make a distinction between themselves and "the rappers"? Cause there's an obvious distinction he made there

He's right but Nas isn't really funny. Just comes off as corny and annoying but that's just new-age internet troll humor ig so it counts.

And just because they give off a tough image doesn't mean they don't laugh or not want to be overly fun or whatever. Most of these niggas grew up in traumatic circumstances and don't know how to or want to express it with the masses. Just gettin money with a close group and keep it moving.
