Is there any rapper who is actually intelligent, well-spoken and well-read in real life? Even the "deep" ones like Kendrick or complex ones like GZA sound like complete idiots.

Kendrick changed so much, watched his interview with nardwuar yesterday and he seems like a genuinely fun person to hang out with, and now he comes off as much more introspective and private in his interviews.
Love how he makes fun of nardwuar at 5:20.

I hate conscious rap. I feel like its one big over compensation people make and say to justify liking rap. A genre that evolved from drums and bass and funk and disco and was cleary just party music. For the past 20 years hip hop made a clique that bends over vackwards to take itself serious.

I do like Common, Lupe Fiasco, Gangztarr had moments, Del tha Funkee

Roses are red, I almost cried...

It's often just rappers role-playing and people living vicariously through music.

Actually reading books is tiring, actually organizing is risky and can get you thrown in jail. So you can instead LARP being woke by having a college radical phase and listening to conscious hip hop. Huey would be proud.

DID

lol Childish Gambino went through the same process

That's their idea of acting deep I guess

Pusha T

Vey smart

Thugger

I've tried to find but most of them are stupid. J cole had people fooled for a while but Lupe and jayz is as close as you'll get

Logic

Chance desu. Very well spoken guy

Yes

>smart
>roleplays a superhero and lives with his mom

>Was a top student in school
not true the school itself said he was an average student

yeah if only the only thing he rapped about wasn't that one bird he sold in his entire life

probably the smartest rn

tyga

Yeah, yo mama!

Kool Keith?

>straight A student in a shitty compton highschool

he was an exceptional student, source on the school's comment?

why do y'all want black people to be white so bad? that's the real question.

The underachievers are definetly the most well read. Whether or not you buy into all their enlightenment crap or not the dudes are actually very intelligent.

You're a fucking retard for automatically being so presumptuous

Why do you think white=smart?

The smarter people in the world are Asian and Indian.

We are just a bit more intelligent than the blacks.

You really got triggered because of that post? Why dont you go sit in a dark corner with Gambino and have pseudo intellectual conversations with him because you guys are so fucking deep and smart

I'm sure there are more than a few with an above average IQ. But I doubt many of the "conscious" rappers who make the same, tired surface-level criticisms of society are amongst them. In fact, it's more likely to be the bad rappers who make the most money despite their lack of talent that are the smartest.

Also, guys like DOOM and Ghostface who do their own thing. You're less likely to be a follower if you're intelligent, and while guys like Kendrick may think they're intellectual trailblazers, they openly admit that they're just copying 2Pac.

I have no idea how well-read DOOM or Ghost are. The latter certainly isn't "well-spoken" in interviews, but I don't think that necessarily makes him dumb. I do know that any rapper who actually claims to be smart or well-read is unlikely to be so, and is just trying to impress their college audience, who just want to say "hey, I read a book once, too, we must both be smart!"

Fuck off. Love their music but their attitude is tryhard and annoying.

I hope all of those buzzwords were purposely placed

Assuming that you're white, which you are, you should probably be more careful not implying that black people being smart are "acting white", as if being black and reading books were incompatible.

Fuck you and you bait

every time there's some black doofus who grew up around white kids and adopts their way of speaking he's automatically perceived as smart just because he says "dude" a lot and sounds like a white hipster. that's your idea of eloquence and intelligence. it's shallow and stupid.

No. They are all dumb nigger

Sup Forums go die in a fire

can you keep the larping as black people on /r/hiphopheads and /r/blackpeopletwitter? thanks

>reading books in 2k16

fuck off you snow nigger

>We are just a bit more intelligent than the blacks

Get a load of this cuck

Ok you're annoyed by someone's demeanor, stupid but reasonable. Your original statement was shallow bullshit though and you know it

Ka.

>le conscious rap is bad meme

Kill yourself. Literally nothing wrong with actually caring about what goes into your music.

the real question is: why do white people think certain characteristics are only possible to be atritubed to white people?

You wanting to box people is stupid

DING DING DING

You hit the nail on the head user

>Oh my god someone doesn't like to read books like eighty percent of the rest of the population

You're fucking retarded

I bet you don't even read books yourself

I love Kendrick as much as the next fan, but do not make shit up. He is intelligent in his music, and has a huge vocabulary when talking, however when he is being interviewed a lot of people can misunderstand him because he not only mumbles a lot but he also stutters. Just the way he grew and cultivated his voice while growing up where he did.

Download or FLAC when.

word to lupe

i had fun rustling your jimmies, also no, im not white. Sup Forums is only slightly less annoying than reddit.

Aesop Rock

Cause they're fucking coons

I'm tired of ass kissers

you sound confused

...

really make you think

source? I think I saw this guy in another video

oustanding post

I'm not

user you're supposed to post your fantasies on nsfw boards, not the sfw

I've seen a few pictures of DOOM reading or hanging around book stores, I'd also say there's a good shot he hung out at the library a lot while he was homeless (most of the 90s)

...

Pretty much any conscious hip hop artist

Yeah I often regret watching rapper interviews, they sound painfully dumb when they speak
Kanye has tons of interviews and speeches where he's eloquent and says some pretty smart stuff, his improvised award show 'train of thoughts' are pretty awkard though
youtube.com/watch?v=fYwiR1kA7gI
Killer Mike, Jay-z, Vince Staples, and Drake (to be fair he's half-white so it barely counts) all seem to have at least average intelligence
I mean I can't help but love hip hop cause i just enjoy it, but sometimes it bothers me that a lot of the people who make the music I listen to are on the level of a 15 year old middle class person

Why do homeless people always hang out at libraries? Is it because they don't have anything to do except read because its free? There was this crazy homeless guy with a diy laptop made out of a suitcase and some old computer parts that used to sit around my library all the time, so i'm assuming its a trend.

It's a nice warm place to casually hang out everyday and waste time. And they can't kick you out

was not me I'm Here's my source

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendrick_Lamar

"As a teenager, Lamar attended Centennial High School in Compton, where he was a straight-A student.[4][7]"

I don't think the average Compton high-schooler scores straight A's, he might have been average in his teachers eyes, but he's definitely intelligent in more than just his music

Being a savant is a thing, I don't mind if someone's retarded in other facets so long as they are good at music and don't believe dangerous/immoral things. Thundercat and FlyLo aren't particularly articulate in interviews but they're clearly good at music, also a lot of that probably has to do with them being permanently high
That's pretty much it, it's a place that offers shelter when the weather's extreme and things to do for free. It's one of the few places they're unlikely to get kicked out and the buildings are also generally maintained better and are less dangerous than homeless shelters.

seconding MC Ride, although he doesn't speak publicly often enough to make a show of it.

it looks really tasty tho

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

makes nice songs, but man he's dumb

I reckon mos def or maybe andre 3000 are pretty smart

Mike is very outspoken and knows what he's talking about but most people on Sup Forums wouldn't like him because of his political visions I think (he supported Bernie when he was still running)

>mos def
Good call he seems very smart too

This

Both members of OutKast for sure.
also I wouldn't necessarily call Donald Glover "smart" but he talks like an average suburban person if that's what you're looking for

Bernie woulda been a dream for robots and neets

Difference between when it is meaningful and when it comes off like a pretentious douchebag grasping at straws. Your post and your meme rappers have a lot in common

True

MF DOOM. Seriously, "Bookhead" is about how he loves books. Theres a video where he talks about how he wants he raps to be like a good book, where you can go back and get something new everytime.

>I would never want a book's autograph
What did he mean by this?
