chance

very surprised you didnt say pretti

idk if this counts

pretti is tru but not all his music like dat and OP wouldn’t like him

King Von

No one is talented enough to be not corny and be positive to make that lane popular again. You'll just have Kendrick and Jcole and you will like it.

Navy Blue

Don’t forget Kanye West

What exactly is there to be positive about in late stage capitalism? The question should be where are all the radical/political rappers?
The spaces today that birthed A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul has been gentrified and like folks said, it’s corny and thrown into some hotep/woke category.

I think Dead Prez was ahead of their time a group like that with a bit more modern sonics would make so much sense right now.

Where’s the rapper born 1997- with the cool factor, looks and banger appeal strictly on the level of a Carti or YoungBoy but with socially conscious bangers and radical punchlines? That’s what’s needed, that’s the functional “positivity”

They gotta be cool like that or it won’t work

Well, positive in relation & opposition to the death-worshiping music dominating the mainstream.

Your point is valid. I agree. It's repulsive how bad things have gotten in society and all the top rappers can talk about is how "molly make her dance with her azz out!" (lol I like boul, just trying to make a point).

lil yachty is hiv positive

Another great point!

There may have to be a sort of Trojan Horse engineered for that to take off. Worth thinking & imagining how that would look.

@aLIEN

I feel Kendrick has almost completely succumb to the dumb s*** and antics tbh

Can't believe this man created music

@wild

Heavenly beat.
Need someone to flow crazy over that instrumental and spit some real s***.
Lil B troll too much.
