I'ma just say some shit. Argue with me, agree.. idgaf. Let's get some action in this sub besides 3-5 of us posting random songs. Just do something interesting.
Ace Hood should get more respect.
Roots should get brought up more in GOAT discussions. So should Andre Nickatina.
Keef vs Kanye in influence might be close tbh. Kanye might win by a tiny bit.
Speaking of Kanye, he gets credited for a lot of shit he didn't come up with. He did perfect a lot of it though.
Bone > Three6 but not by a lot
Twistas slick as fuck, and still TO THIS DAY
00s South might be the GOAT era
Cole Fucking World. Before he was popular, my dude puked on his bouncer/manager or some shit. Only like 50 people at Coles show and we got hammered with the dude. My man hit the blunt and that was it
I know mfers are likely internet nerds when they bring up Griselda in real life.
I know because of KRS-one. Kriss Kross did make me dance.
If screw ain't make it, it ain't a screw tape.
Nas > Jay
Control wasn't a diss, it was actually more of a compliment to everyone named.
Give me the check, gimme the throne
I don't trust mfers like to say hip hop was created for political reasons. Sure, it was an aspect.. but so was breaking down the boogie to the hippity hop and you don't stop.
Luda was the best out of ATL during the Jeezy/TI/Gucci era.
Jeezy > Gucci > TI
DMX though
In general, hip-hop got stale. I don't blame em but we are in Punks Good Charlotte phase.
Gavlyn though.
Pusha won, but Story of Adidon is over hyped.
Kendricks sound fell off after GKMC. He still has some nice joints, but he's a lot more hit or miss to my ears.
Hip hop peaked in the 90s or 00s, even though the 10s had some nice shit.
Crunk Aint Dead wasn't crunk, shit was just a nostalgia play for money.
I bet that Catch Me Outside girl is more good than most the industry tbh. Idk shit about her though tbh, just know half these mfers are actually nerds.
Lupe is good, but he's not a lyrical god. I think his type of writing is easier than writing catchy shit.
Choppers like tech/twista/AFRO/gift of gab/etc are cool AF. Might not always be the mood but cool AF
99% Wayne did it.. the F is for first.
You can not say Pop and forget the Smoke
True but also that works for any underground rapper.
Yeah, that's the type of people who wants their 3rd eye open during the party and will play some Common to show everyone they're different.
In 2023, I'd say Gucci over Jeezy. They all kinda fell off but some harder than most. TI went from my favorite rapper to not even try his new shit. Jeezy is cool but I was never a fan like that. Gucci is GOAT, that's all. He will never reach his peak again but when he drops, it's an automatic listen.
Never understood that take. To me, GKMC wasn't all that sonically. Kendrick delivered a masterpiece lyrically no doubt, but some of the beats sounds dated and note in a good Nostalgia way. TPAB was a huge step up and DAMN. is too underrated.
Definitely, but it slapped.
I hated those sorts of people, they always pick the most lyrically dense songs too. If I was at a party I was trying to get a little fucked up and dance with some girls, not bob my head thoughtfully and listen to metaphors.
