Post your hottest hip hop takes.Mine: drill isn't that bad.
Are you the only person here?
My hot take is that it's not music.
Gorilla goy
boom bap was more versatile than trap
Kendrick Lamar is only popular because of white PMC Starbucks liberals. The same people who listen to NPR are the same ones bumping GKMC.
I absolutely could not care less about the "rappists only talk about GUNS and DRUGS and HOES" seethingBut on a musical level, 99% of rap just sounds like shit and the other 1% only scrapes above the bar by sampling something that was already good
>>128399056I don't buy the conspiracy about gangsta rap being pushed in the 90s because labels wanted to profit off of private prisons. Way too many holes in that narrative. The truth is, Americans have always loved violence and violent media like action movies. The biggest consumers of rap music in the 90s were white suburban kids who were certainly not gangbanging. Plus crime in America actually dropped in the 90s (mostly due to a combination of taking lead out of pipes and all the Black abortions that occurred in the 70s and 80s).
>>128399218best rap is black guys rapping about guns and drugs and hoes, especially modern day, back in the day the socially conscious rappers were still based, now they are just corny, give me future motivating evil niggas
>>128399056rap that comes from local scenes, like Chicago drill, is the only kind worth listening to. Memphis horrorcore, Houston S.U.C affiliates, Atlanta trap, that's the good stuff. everything else is pop crossover shit
Dilla, DOOM, and Prodigy were all victims of medical racism but you're not ready for that conversation.
>>128399266Ice Cube admitted the conspiracy was true. He said there were committees around him hired by the label to make sure his music was more violent and graphic.
>>128399266"private prisons" as a reason for anything is just retarded reddit buzzwording. Like 8% of US inmates are in a private prison, yet people act like they're the fucking illuminati bending every societal institution to their whim
Life of Pablo is objectively better than MBDTF.
>>128399056not music
>>128399266I agree about the private prisons making no sense because overall they are a very small percentage of prisons nationwide. Government run are just as bad or worse. 3 strikes laws did start in the 90s that kept many of them in prison for life though
>>128399340Agreed but what evidence is there that gangsta rap had anything to do with California's Three Strikes Law? That law was enacted in 1994 while gangsta rap got big in 1992.
>>128399056Most female rappers suck. I have yet to hear a female rapper who has good lyrics that weren't ghostwritten by a man. Nearly all female rappers get big because they're sex kittens and have gigantic asses.
>>128399293Pimp C was a victim of mental retardation. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea but still wouldn't stop sippin that syrup after being told he wasn't going to wake up if he kept on.
>>128399293>"medical racism"
>>128399321life of pablo is too bloated and yeezus is better than either
>>128399266Pop rap was still a thing in the mid 90s when gangsta rap was at its peak. Gangsta rappers weren't even charting all that high compared to pop rappers at the same time.
>>128399056Yeah im sure its been said but thats not a hot take.
>>128399419Yeezus is autism personified.
>>128399214This isn't a hot take. We've been saying this for years. Blacks don't listen to K-dot.
I don't really think Jews control hip hop. That accusation comes out of the racial tensions between Blacks and Jews that's been happening for decades.
Noname is the best female rapper everLate Registration is the best Kanye albumRTJ 1-3 are all still really goodOdd Future sucked, Saturation trilogy is way betterJpgmafia is the best current rapperBladee is the best white rapper other than first 3 Eminem albums
>>128399499it comes from black record producers adopting Jewish business tactics
>>128399499Jews control the music business, this isn't even a secret.
>>128399526Not hip hop specific. And there are even more goyim in control of the music industry than Jews.
>>128399499This, and I would add "buck breaking" in the music industry isn't real.
>>128399056Nas has always been a shitty beat picker and DJ Premier is the most overrated producer in the history of the genre, more overrated than Pharrell.
90% of hip hop's consumer base is white. Rap couldn't survive without white consumers.
Far from being a conspiracy, 9/11 is the main reason rap turned to shit. In the late 90s and into the 2000s you saw a lot of conscious lyrical-miracle rap in the mainstream. Mos Def, Common, and Talib Kweli were played all the time on MTV and mainstream rap radio. You even saw a Black Power revival earlier in the 90s that kept going throughout the decade. Neo Soul a counterpart to this and it was also everywhere in the late 90s/early 2000s and really emphasized Afrocentrism and shit.Then, after 9/11, conscious rap was too "dangerous" due to the US now engaged in imperialist war and implementing the Patriot Act. Those lyrical miracle rappers were de facto blackballed and hip hop became dominated by mindless garbage like crunk and songs about money and flexing. Many rappers from the 90s who were deeply involved in 5%ers and the NOI stopped rapping about that stuff around this time too.
>>128399384Doechii
>>128399745Already washed up.
>>128399056Rap does not, and will never, fit the definition of music.
>>128399499>I don't really think Jews control hip hop. That accusation comes out of the racial tensions between Blacks and Jews that's been happening for decades.
>>128399056UK drill is better than Chicago drill.
Kendrick defeating drake was the death of poptimism. It was conscious tap vs pop rap, and pop rap lost.This is why rap is also dying too.
>>128399898fax
>>128399451That's why it's good.
>>128399056Hyphy and Footwork should've been where Trap was in the 2010s but people just wanted boring slop. Also someone needs to bring back Electro elements in Hip Hop.
>>128400292Why is rap dying because of Kendrick?
>>128399056Every popular rapper is an industry plant. Every one. Even the one who was “discovered” on SoundCloud or a local scene is a plant who had secret industry ties all along.
>>128400453Because most of hip hop is money laundering. You think rappers have money due to music? Wrong. It’s all drug and criminal activity money. These rap careers are simply fronts for gangs.https://youtube.com/watch?v=5VvNxL9Gm1E
>>128400435He doesn't sound cool. There's no James Bond factor when men want to be him and women want to be with thim, rappers are supposed to be like pro wrestlers where there's an element of vicarious escapism.
>>128399056Rap has an anti-white problem that everyone ignores for some reason. You are not allowed to talk about it anywhere online without immediately getting shutdown and your discussion locked or deleted. If you're white and you try to operate in the hip-hop space, be it as a rapper or personality in anyway they will try to push you out. Either by calling you a racist, a culture vulture, colonizer, or at best calling you a "guest" like in the case of people like Eminem who basically bent over backwards to please them for 25 years. Oh but "they don't listen to Eminem in da hood" so he's instant discredited. Even faggots like Fantano who tows the line and shits on every white rapper himself has been grazed by the black bullet a few times now to keep him in line.
>>128399056It’s kind of embarrassing to listen to it if you’re not black or living the said material reality of what it describes
>>128401612thats just your selfconsciousness speaking
>>128399266I rather assume it got big as an after-effect of the era of high nationwide crime rates. An entire generation grew up in a broken-down Mad Max shithole of an America.
>>128401338Eminem was only sort of tolerated because he grew up poor with a single mom. Otherwise 90% of white rappers are suburban gimmick MCs who last about 5 minutes.
It peaked in the 2000s. Each regional scene had their own sound that was sick, snap and crunk in atlanta, hyphy in the bay, chopped n screwed in houston, cash money in nola, even baton rouge had boosie and webbie. Yeah it was all extremely mentally retarded music but I don't give a shit, hip hop started as party music and should remain party music.
>>128400390truth. i miss electro
>>128399145Thats not even a hot take.
>>128399056Lil Nas X was the last good rapper.
>>128400475Yes
I just realized drill is the rap equivalent of grunge.
>>128399056there isn't a single mumblenog song that is good and almost all hiphop sounds incredibly dated within like 15 years of coming out
>>128402359Both of you are kinda forgetting that Em was good in the beginning. It's just true: most white rappers have no swag, so why listen to that boring shit while the real deal is black. If you listen to something like Sematary in this day, you'll quickly realize the lil nigga is essentially naked without le ironic "hahaha I'm a psycho killer" gimmick, because he lacks the skills to be trve rapper, unlike other black rappers which do have both the aesthetic and the talent, like Three 6 or Bone Thugs. Major exception to this trope is Lil Ugly Mane; he's brilliant.
>>128399293>victims of medical racismExplain
>>128404310Hip-hop is rather puritanical compared to most genres in that you can't be taken seriously without actually growing up on the streets.
>>128399056Its not music
>>128399056Short one: Tory Lanes probably didn't shoot Meg. He still belongs in prison purely because it's funny/his fans deserve to be miserable.Longer one: Modern rappers are all such losers and it's rare for them to live enviable lives. Even after becoming successful enough to have few problems in life they still end up drowned in hood rat drama they should know to just avoid, and wind up with sub-mediocre women that are sources of exponentially more drama somehow. The wealth they flaunt is mostly just them doing what poorfags with laughable credit do but on a much larger scale and it heads nowhere.
trap/drill was just a front for gangs to launder drug money. i mean, lol at how Cardi B was a Blood but pretends she wasn't.
>>128405773This. Plus Juice WRLD was being used by the NLMB gang as a cover for their drug dealing activities. That’s why they found so much dope on his private jet when he died.
SoundCloud Rap was one of the greatest musical innovations of the last 50 years and XXXtentacion will be remembered the same way we remember Hendrix, Miles Davis, John Lennon and Kurt Cobain.
All rap beefs are fake and gay publicity stunts. Imagine if any other genre did this, with two or more artists making multiple songs crying about each other. Fucking embarrassing.
>>128400495Strong agree, Kendrick is for performative white dudes who think they're above standard rap
