Are you born with sauce (technical ability) or do you acquire it
“Man you can’t born with sauce”
Disagree with this. You can definitely train to be a better rapper and get up to their level. Can't compare rapping to sports because there's not much physicality associated with writing bars. Yachty still younger than hov when he dropped Reasonable Doubt
You bring up physical capabilities but ignore mental capabilities. Some mfers are just retarted
He only sounds good on the holster type beats. He gotta stop rapping on these boom bap beats
Bro can’t rap
You bring up physical capabilities but ignore mental capabilities. Some mfers are just retarted
Yeah because he has to fulfill the requirements of making rap music under capitalism which is what Mos Def was saying lol
There’s the art of mastering the art of being a rapper where your music/rapping skills/style works as a tool to revolve a brand around (which is the ceiling most niggas are under and why niggas get confused when you say something sucks) and then there’s the actual art of rapping where we are impressed by the technique/skill level regardless of how much money something will make lol
If one just focused on rapping for a period of time anyone could be Hov or Wayne (or Mos Def lol) level but there’s no fun in that. Niggas ain’t tryna make a “classic” just for it not to be in all the Tik toks and clubs lol
”There’s the art of mastering the art of being a rapper where your music/rapping skills/style works as a tool to revolve a brand around (which is the ceiling most niggas are under and why niggas get confused when you say something sucks)”
yeah this is an excellent way to put it, i don’t think a lot of people realize how much they fall in love with an artists’ aesthetic, style and/or brand which can influence the lens of their music consumption in a sense

it really is but niggas still think it’s the yachty from 2016 and not actually listening to him NOW
nigga said this with a JAY-Z pfp
this site is so fried lol

I like a Yachty’s (rap) music but it’s crazy seeing niggas put him up as a head honcho in rap. His new stuff is only barely better than his old stuff
And let’s be real about his Michigan era. Them niggas took him to school damn near every song
no you cant
there is nothing that yachti could do to be able to kill every feature like wayne did for years
his story or upbringing will also never be as interesting as jays or 50s
there is only so much you can train, wayne was able to do it because its easy for him. the moment you have to "'rain' and really put in the extra effort and do more than you are able it comes off as fake
if it was that easy to train or change your voice all rappers would come in with the presence, pronunciation and delivery of drake, the wordplay of wayne or the flow of andre3k
eminem has lost a lot of places in the cultures top rappers because he turned into a try hard, focusing on fast rapping a bunch of bs. nice but doesnt help you if the overall package is lacking
I'm talking about becoming a better writer you can definitely improve that, as 2worda said, Wayne put in that work to become who he is
And yes you can improve your vocals, how many rappers do you think actively done any vocal training. Drake voice and pronunciation only became like that because he did vocal training, I think ya forget he used to sound like budden
Are you born with sauce (technical ability) or do you acquire it
You are born with it but it’s on you to tap into it
More people are born with it than people think
But will you tap in
not everybody is gonna be lebron or usain bolt, regardless of how much they try, same way you cant train to be or rap like wayne.its a gift, natural, talent, voice etc. are all factor.
yachti already been punching above his weight class in terms of expectations most had from him when he came into the game. he doing good.
Surely there’s a nice middle ground between unlistenable & all time great

He was absolutely a tourist in that space. Remble cooked his ass too

Some people are more talented than others, "things come easier to the them", but you still have to cultivate that skill.
Willingly to bet most rappers people think are just naturally gifted, behind the scenes they put themselves to the wringer to be who they are. 3k and big boi used to rap full verses as they ran around the block to improve their breath control
First minute sound like Cash and Chow then it slow up a bit i like it
This whole sound is Cash + Shawny tbh
LMAO
It’s no coincidence these latter years of rap coincide with the making less cool the action of reading tbh.
^an AMAZING book btw
some ppl with a straight face will tell u hes good and better than uzi somehow and thats just crazy to me
