Jakey Styley Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 This is well on its way out.I'm reallllly not into Drake but it's just a personal preference. I still enjoy all of his hits, at least for a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lahey Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 It is amazing! Randy, you know you like it........hell, I try to hate drake too, but...I don't like it at all. Hip Hop is in its Hair Metal phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 95% of popular music is in it hair metal phase.95% of underground/alternative/indie music is in its boring ass; music made by nerds, hipsters, poofs and nerd hipster poofs phase.

Deepest Shame Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) No, it's awful... Drake is awful, beyond it actually.Yes middle-class Jewish kid from Canada, you are a gangsta who struggled.Jimmy needs to give up the act, it's not convincing.

Guest Len B'stard Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) If there's one thing i can't stand it's fuckin' soft rappers. And the games full of em at the moment and it's proper fuckin' annoying. I even rate Kendrick Lamar on that level, they're just so...fuckin'...PUH-see, it's just annoying. Personally, i don't think America has those kinda people in it anymore, i wouldn't know, not being from there or anything but look, fuckin', Tupac, Ice Cube etc, these people were the children of the Panther generation, these people had a gripe, these people knew what missed meal cramps felt like, these people were fuckin' real, it's actually got to a point where you got rappers like Kendrick Lamar that is like, from that fuckin' cloth and those same places but those places ain't the same as those places are meant to be anymore, i don't think, perhaps. Kendrick Lamars a sick fuckin' rapper but...a lot of the shit he touches on is so fuckin'...soft? I mean peer pressure, really, a fuckin' Compton rapper talkin' about fuckin' peer pressure, am i fuckin' hallucinating this shit? Good kid mad city, yeah, thats about the size of it and about the size of the problem, i don't wanna hear about rappers that come home after a night of shit-kickin' to cry in their bedrooms about the bad people they've been, fuck that I mean your Tupacs had their introversion and those sorts of aspects too but it always had the 'but fuck that!' caveat to it, they never felt like...maudlin or preachy. The tone was always 'this is how shit is for me, i don't give what you, him or them are up to'. And it's the same with Drake, i don't wanna hear that fuckin' shit, these don't look like the children of the ghetto and if they are then the fuckin' ghetto must've moved up in the world cuz their subject matter is fuckin' limp. Honestly, they sound like priveleged kids short on subject matter and myself i'd rather listen to a lesser talented rapper in terms of textbook rhyme skill if he's got a unique delivery and more importantly, something to say, something fuckin' interesting and real to say and a little dirt under his fingernails cuz these guys are like...sensible? They sound like college boys, it's off-putting in the extreme. There was an excitement and a danger and this fuckin'...encroaching feeling that they were kicking against with aggression to hip hop that is just not there anymore. It's supposed to be like the fuckin' music of the streets, this is my problem with your fuckin' Kanyes and your fuckin' Drakes and them.

wasted Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I blame Obama only when hes found to be having affairs with white interns will rap get good again. In fact it probably wont. Eminem killed rap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 See now, randy, you might have a point there, rappers on prescription, sorta middle class housewifey thing Shit, rappers doing E's, i remember when rappers frowned on coke.

Randy Lahey Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The fans today are different too. Somebody like Rick Ross would have been ostracized in the 90's after it came out that he was a prison guard who stole his name from a Los Angeles drug dealer. But the kids today don't seem to care.

Guest NGOG Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I absolutely agree there. There doesn't have to be any substance behind the lyrics today. Ross, and rappers in that vein are a joke. And would have been viewed as such when hip hop was big. Ross wouldn't have gotten looked at by either the east or west record companies and if he had of, he'd have been straight up killed for fronting.

My problem is with rappers that aren't but like to pretend they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a balance and at the moment there isnt and in the place where there once was hardcore artists from the streets are a bunch of people pretending to be that, if it was just a case of being from the ghetto then thereWouldnt be the criticism of Kendrick Lamar.Fun party music will always have an avenue through which it can be presented to you but what real hardcore hip hop says and represents only had that one avenue, you don't get whatever it was that music was offering up to people just anywhere and because of that its precious to people and they wanna see it preserved and not at the expense of party music, there's room for all.

My problem is with rappers who rap about ghetto issues but don't hail from the ghetto themselves or have a very limited grasp of its reality. I'm all for the Macklemores who want to rap about social issues. Rap has to evolve in some way in order to survive. I get that. But phonies like Rick Ross are hard to stomach. As people have pointed out, there is a very clear irony to a correctional officer trying to be a gangster. The rap scene previously wouldn't have tolerated such fronting.
