Unironically, it’s Homer, it’s the war drum. No one takes modern rap (trap, drill) seriously because it’s very obviously not the product of the bourgeoisie or aristocracy. The literary merit of rap is only considered when the artist imitates the habits and language of the upper classes (Jay-Z, Westside Gunn), but in many ways, its truest, most compelling form is through artists like NBA YoungBoy, who lack the pretension of so-called high-brow rappers.
Playboi Carti is the most /lit/ rapper
I always knew modern poetry was garbage. Thanks for confirming my opinion.

>>24771517NTA and I generally dislike rap but Kanye West's Off the Grid speaks to me. It pushes the usual gangster shit aside and discusses loyalty, family, and fame in a way that's surprisingly sober. If only Kanye would lay off the nitrous, get centered again and turn out more bangers.
>>24771941His entire discography is pushing gangsta aside and calling it gay and plenty of others do that too

All rappers are industry plants. Not a single one is genuine. Which is why nobody is ever allowed to debate their authenticity. But any time a white indie artist breaks out everyone screams that they're a trust fund kid and digs for the grandpas grandpas uncles 3rd cousin for proof. They're all phonies. And the cringe lyrical master conscious rappers are the most gay shit ever for sheltered white kidsfuck mf doomFuck kanyeEspecially fuck lil dicky

I heard a song in the radio the other day: this bloke (the "rapper") was bragging about how good his rhymes are, then proceeded to make zero true rhymes for the rest of the verse.It was astounding.
>nobody can think of one good rapper in its 50 year history
>people actually replied to this thread without saging
>>24775054Death Grips are great. Can't think of anyone else though.
>>24771409Yeah the key to poetry is the rhythm which gives words magical resonances. Official "modern poetry" is completely lacking in this quality that Negro rap most certainly has. A lot of this music is high taste and conforms to objective aesthetic criteria—in other words it has the feeling of cleanliness and purity, operating at its level. There’s also deep significance to the Negro ghetto—which is both a reflection and microcosm of the global economic system of British-Israeli gangster capitalism and at the same time a domain of naivety and freedom, with values of masculine honor and brotherhood in an otherwise deracinated, bureaucratic, dull, effeminate and slavish social system.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y-edrXIZjAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNPVyc-E3SU>>24771941Kanye is 21st century Baudelaire.
>>24771952Not really, he's actually gang affiliated and has always recognized that as the main well spring of hip hop. Its just not who he is ultimately.

kanye is unironically one of the greatest musical artists of the last generation, if not the greatest. who even comes close?
>>24771409Bait, right? It's all empty, mindless monkey music. You can call it poetry, just as the poems I wrote for first grade english could be called poetry. Doesn't make it good. Rap is for low iq normgroids. Unless its bladee. Listening to eversince in highschool changed me
>rap is the official musical genre of black people>the only rapper of artistic merit is a semiteWhy does this happen?

>>24775753I also thought he was jewish for a long time but his family is actually Lithuanian catholics
>>24771409Extremely funny that there are people in this thread pretending they don't listen to hip-hop, I thought those sort of people died out in like 2011 lmfao>>24775575The most frustrating part about Death Grips is that they're actually that good. Despite all the memes, jokes, fantanofags, and /mu/ bullshit, they're genuinely the most fascinating, innovative, and exciting musical project of the 2010s
>>24775932You need to stop coming here and pretending you read.
>>24775705Do you have him confused with another rapper? He's none of those things. His mom was an English professor
>>24775932>Death Grips>goodLol
>>24775932>Extremely funny that there are people in this thread pretending they don't listen to hip-hopI barely listen to music and when I do it's Anime/VN OSTs. Unless you want to count the times music is blasted at me unwillingly in public, by that metric yes, everyone listens to your nigger garbage.
>>24775932On this board of anti-social misfits, is it really surprising that many of us do not follow pop culture?
all these zesty rappers turning into gay vampires. what's up with that?

>>24775889That's why I didn't call him a Jew. It's possible for a person of Semitic descent to be raised a Catholic.
>>24775932Rap music is for black people again, except for crusty old hipster millennials. Normal white people listen to girly pop and country now. Last years Kendrick/Drake drama was the swan song of mainstream rap
>>24775721Most of this is just the same old gangsta rap. I want to find the underrated gems of /lit/ value
>>24776150>I barely listen to music and when I do it's Anime/VN OSTs.
>>24775932Unfortunately correct take about death grips but Christ the fans are retarded faggots. This includes you
>>24771409>Unironically, it’s HomerIt would be ironic if it were, but it is not.
Rap is and always has been fucking garbage. Especially mumble rap. At that point you may as well just record yourself farting in regular intervals, layer some free online sound effects over it, and call it music.
>>24772791Where the fuck are the rhymes, nigga?
>>24776290Handsome Boy Modelling School Also Lovage, but compared to HMBS it’s barely rap, more like RNB/hip hop with occasional rapping in it.
you amerimutts really need to rethink your tastes. Rap is nigger music (music?) performed by fucking chimpanzees with a criminal background and with a very short life expectancy. What do you see in it? can you explain to me what is the appeal of a nigger chimping out on stage for a white person? why are you like that?
>>24771409I hate niggers. Simple as.
>>24775932>they're genuinely the most fascinating, innovative, and exciting musical project of the 2010sif you mostly listen to whatever's trending, sure. but let's not pretend like Death Grips are true sonic pioneers of the unknown or whatever, a lot of their most critically acclaimed album is literally "what if B L A C K I E but with live drums" death grips is extremely good though>>24771409This is a shitpost but it's not entirely a shitpost, you're onto something here

>>24771514>>24771517There is no good American rap, but some older German stuff is really good, like most of Peter Fox' discography.He has a song that captures the filth of Berlin at night and another the feeling of unfucking your life.
>>24778053>There is no good American rap, but some older German stuff is really goodAny rap that's not in north American English isn't worth listening to but nice bait
Will americans stop at nothing to find every possible reason to worship black people?Not, rap is not poetry. Yes, you are a faggot. Yes, your mother is a dumb whore.
>>24771409Not just through rap, but songs in general. Poetry was originally meant to be accompanied by music. I feel like an idiot for ever believing that poetry was dead, when in fact it's never been more alive.
>>24772834Dante wrote using the vulgar Italian language, at a time when high literature was written in Latin. I doubt he'd look down on modern rappers and he'd probably admire some of them for their technical skills.
>>24778196You dumb, boy. Dumb as hell.
>>24778053>There is no good American rap, but some older German stuff is really goodOccasionally I'll see someone parodying you people online and I'll think "that's not realistic, they wouldn't actually say that," and then you people say things like this and I realize the parody didn't go far enough lmfao
>>24778093>>24778369Leave the guy alone. Fuck you make me ashamed to be American
>>24778371I'm going to continue laughing at his retardation even if it makes you upset
I actually really like that this idea of rap being the poetry of the present and the future exists, whenever it comes up and somebody agrees I completely filter out what that person has to say about poetry, unless they're women, in which case I never paid attention to what they said to begin with. It never failed me, there was never a time when I went like "huh, maybe they aren't retarded after all".

>>24775932i listened to hip hop in 2010 but as an adult now i listen to actual music hip hop is garbage, and death grips sucks and is for wiggers and trannies.i listened to exmillitary and tms when it came out and the one person i knew who was really into them is now a tranny
