Was rap ever good?
It's always
>I grew up on the streets
>Now I have money and fuck bitches
>look at me I'm so great
Why do people ever say rappers are deep or have ever been deep?

the only actually popular 'deep' rapper is eminem who coincidentally is white. see why rap sucks?
Brayden Fisher
Modern rap is virtually Jew slam poetry by college drama students
Old school hip hop is a very different beast.
Jacob Cooper
give me an example of old rap that was actually good
They literally just hire white guys to make instrumentals and read poems about how great they are
Leo Phillips
How do you even understand what they say? All I hear is
>AYO AY AY AYO WE NA ENA BANA WE BE BIX NOOD AY
>TS TS TS TS T-T-TS TS TS
>YO NA AY AY AY
>AY AY
>UH UH HUH
>AY AY AY POOTCHO HANSS UHHHHHHHH AY AY

It's easier for an idea to be big if your mind is small

Aiden Martin
Don't forget about the only Sup Forums-approved rapper though
Alexander Richardson
god that was awful
thanks for proving my point.

>it's a loser who never listened to 90s rap in highschool while smoking blunts and partying episode
Example of good rap: wu tang, mobb deep, Tupac, lost boys, gp wu, biggie, the lox, and plenty more.
Also I'm white and live in a rich town on the CT coast

I remember a party i went to in high school had kid cudi blasting all night long, it was so fresh my dude...

If you need to bring up your race and class to prove your point, just shows how shallow of a character you really are.

Could you tell me what's better than

reminder that rap started as a way for black people who were being oppressed as a way to forget their troubles and to have fun so as to escape their depressive lives
most early 80s golden age rap is very much still rooted in disco, albeit with more focus on the MC than the beats, which were repetitive, four-to-the-floor (though still sometimes sampled) house-esque beats
The Breaks by Kurtis Blow, a song from golden age rap, managed to be the second gold certified single in music history, and it was, at the time, one of the most lyrically complex rap songs, speaking about issues that lots of people, regardless of skin color, could relate to, such as infidelity and financial issues, which would later be the genesis of rap growing in conceptual lyrical matters
if you're going to so casually disrespect the history of something that means a lot to many people, as well as being a motivational support for many, at least try to be factual

Good rap has always been underground, get with the times white boy. We have this discussion a million times a day.
Parker Powell
>backpacker
>bad
Not even that user but how is having lyricism a bad thing? Fucking kill yourself, it's brain dead faggots like you that are ruining the genre.
Ayden Hughes
Why, nigger?
Wyatt Hall
you mean music in general
if your song isnt about fucking bitches and partying, its about first world relationship problems, teenage antiestablishment shit, or "enlightened" "meta" moaning dudes
because every song has been sung and all that matters is if your song sounds good unless youre really that much of a pretentious faggot
Nolan Mitchell
none of those artist are underground

White men invented rap.
Luke Hughes
I enjoy rap a lot more when it's about two niggas beefing. I am surprised you can't find Street Wars series as easily on the internet, some of the funniest shit I have listened to.
Logan Watson
None of that is in pic related which is the 3rd most purchased album in history.
Aiden Sullivan
>pic related
Juan James
Why?
How the fuck are any of those rappers "underground"? Jay, Common and Nas have been stars for over two decades, Kendrick had THE most universally critically acclaimed album of last year, Daveed Diggs is starring in the biggest Broadway musical in years right now, Cory Gunz guested on a huge Lil Wayne hit and is the son of one-hit wonder Peter Gunz, Charles Hamilton tried to be mainstream and sort of succeeded but fucked it, MF DOOM has been a critics' and backpackers' favourite since 1991, Flying Lotus is an incredibly popular producer, and Chance has a huge fanbase right now. Where do you get off acting like these are unknown acts that only you know about?

Really makes you think huh
Hunter Bennett
every album ever can be summarized in simple points, you dip
Samuel Harris
I love it but, lyrically, DSOTM isn't much more than a remarkably unsubtle mix of vague Deep Shit 101 platitudes
I didn't think anyone on Sup Forums thought otherwise
Jaxson Rivera
>Charles "gotta go fast" Hamilton
no
Anthony Richardson
i didn't say anything bad or good about Dark Side
Matthew Wright
You implied that it didn't have "teenage antiestablishment shit" or ""enlightened" "meta" moaning dudes" when that's the whole Floyd M.O.
Kevin Clark
Always was inferior
Quads confirm
Matthew Smith
i didn't say that. i just said that every album can be summarized in simple points, no matter how complex the lyrics are

Damn i'm depressed
Eli Wilson
I don't understand your point. It may be "le deep" but it's certainly not meta or antiestablishment shit.
Nathaniel Brown
Cancer evey one. The only good rappers were old school hip hop acts in the Bronx.
