Yall always be jumping to this conclusion whenever people have any criticism of a rapper lmao

A nigga could be like yeah i do think he could dig a little deeper concept wise, and niggas be like “you want him to rap about taxes???”

Exactly

Like bro its a music forum everyone should post what they like

It’s hilarious when underground rap fans call people out of touch for not knowing underground rappers when almost nobody knows them, hence them being underground

Does this mean Jay z is or isn't out of touch based on that end of year list ?

drill has been “dead” every year according to people but it’s still around and growing so

It's honestly more out of touch to ride the coattails of music geared for youthful generations, of which may or may not be mediocre, simply because it's temporally "new", even if it's musically redundant, than to start looking for that out-of-the-way, weird, "mysterious" s*** once the hype around teenage/college-aged-oriented music fizzles out for you as you age out of that bracket.

If you genuinely enjoy that music, that's dope, be yourself. But a lot of praise given to some guys on here just feels like it's either hyperbolic or deliberately trying hard to seem cool in the eyes of teenagers. If you're old enough to get into a bar legally and you're worried about impressing high school kids...you're the out of touch one lmao

Being "in touch" is bumping that mysterious s*** but not being a snob about it

Riding trends is only cool when you're the target demographic for that trend as a consumer. It's lame otherwise, but if you genuinely like something that happens to be trendy, that's perfectly fine too. But you can tell when people are forcing it

i said this same exact s*** in the Melz thread

it’s like imagine a 28 year old man d***riding Famous Dex when he was popping off

Like you can avoid being a crotchety oldhead without going into the "Hello Fellow Kids" routine.

I genuinely love Travis Scott but I'm 28 bro I can't stand up and jump around for 3 hours in a mosh pit anymore and never liked doing that to begin with. Doesn't mean I can't go to his shows, but I got no business being in GA anymore, it's for the kids and that's cool, let them have that. Don't be the old guy trying to look cool to kids, it just makes them think you're weirder when they probably weren't thinking much about you at all beforehand

Using the Travis example because I saw him live last night AND HE PLAYED NIGHTCRAWLER

Yeah sure I guess

this thread would be valid if what OP was saying wasn't a part of a proven cycle of becoming a bitter ass oldhead type who just yaps about anything new being released whether good or not without no real effort put into even understanding what the appeal may be

(chris brown voice) oh dem niggas getting it in over there!

Nettspend the cutest rapper no cap

and ppl can make fun of you for not caring tbh

Nah I feel like the music sucks

Cause I listen to a lot of young nigga music like yeat and s*** before he blew up and it’s good

A lot of the s*** just sucks tho

Ur so opium bro

Imma go with carti but thats jus me

Imagine having fun on ktt

This s*** sound like a whale getting its d*** sucked by the finest mermaid

Idk if that's a complement or insult but yea

both sides are doing too much.
if the music sounds good idc what they be rappin about.
fact is tho most of them are talentless hacks and thats why we dont rate them, it's not us who are growing out of touch or whatever yall claim

Bars

What would be wrong with a 28 year old person liking famous Dex???

Famous Dex has classics under his belt and has a lot of good music

U guys are so dumb u just equate anything u don’t like as music for kids 💀💀

Atp it's jus jokes man

As in these niggas is clowns
