i don't know but i'm tired of it
name your favorite rappers who haven't made more than 2 songs about sex, drugs and money

Eminem and Hopsin.

Eminem has at least 2 songs about drugs per album.

mf doom?

hey hey get your dick out of your mouth hopsin and eminems fucking suck dick

DUDE BEING BLACK IN AMERICA LMAO

DUDE DRUGS, SEX, MONEY AND VIOLENCE LMAO

DUDE NOTHING ELSE LMAO

It's one of the most image-focused genres of music to date, not too surprising that also makes it one of the least creative. There are some great musicians in the field for sure but the vast majority are just people cashing in on something easy as fuck (In terms of writing, calm the fuck down hypothetical person about to whine about how hard rapping actually is).

babyfather

Why do black metal dudes make anti christian songs only?

Why do pop singers sing about relationships only?

Why do shitty Dutch DJ's make tracks about partying hard only?

Why do ''special snowflakes'' with self-diagnosed mental illnesses create edgy music to express their condition?

No idea です. I've been trying to honestly understand rap / hip hop for years. I always thought there was something wrong with me, because people make such a huge deal of rap. Case in point: I've listened to Starboy this week, like everyone else. Man, WTF. The guy literally mentions every car he owns and brags about everything for 3 minutes, then end. So shallow, so pointless. Maybe I don't "get it" because I'm not American?

Who are the most creative rappers right now? Travis Scott was hyped up for me and I liked Rodeo but mostly cause of the production. his lyricism really disappointed me

This

I'm an American and I don't get it.

No, everyone is as confused as you. People just pretend not to be because they think they'll look racist if they don't. Rap is one giant case of the emperor having no clothes.

Not the most creative but definitely the most influential is Gucci Mane, there really isn't any denying that

>rapper spits about how he is profiled and people automatically assume he steals and sells drugs because he's black
>same rapper spits about stealing and selling drugs
>sometimes on the same track

what do you fucks not get about hedonism?

trap music = hedonism

i swear this board is full of idiots

because niggers have brains the size of an acorn if even that big

this!!!

I guess its what people want to hear

DOOM's got a good amount of songs about sex and drugs (weed). it's always done in a lighthearted and funny way though, so you don't really think about it.

Bc lyrics are fuckin dumb and for fags

somewhat related, i always think it's hilarious when the feature verse has barely anything to do with the main rappers verse. jay z on monster is probably the most infamous example of this.

Travis Scott sucks

>indie
"You checked your text while I masturbated"

"I'm going to kill my self
to kill my self
to kill my self
I'm going to kill my self
so there won't be nothing left

I'm going to remove myself
remove myself
remove myself
I'm going to remove myself
so there won't be nothing left"

omg man this is so much better than hip hop lol dude
white people are so good at lyrics dude

Rap is typically about bravado.
Why does it surprise you that they tend to rap about things which make people feel empowered like money and sex?

Kendrick lamar

it panders to faux-depressed indie kids because they can sort of relate, which they can't with most hip hop. the lyrics don't even have to be well written, just call it "stream-of-consciousness" and they'll eat it up.

Nice false dichotomy

Not an argument.

"semen stains the mountaintop"
white people sure have well written lyrics am i right?

It's also usually extroverted music. What I mean by that is that rap is rarely introspective and often comes off as awkward sounding when it is. Not all the time though. IMO a lot of the best rappers are very introspective but they do it through story telling and by describing their actions you get a sense for how they feel and think.

Or Jay-Z on Diamonds from Sierra Leone

also in response to this thread, MF Doom, Lauryn Hill and Andre 3000 are the only rappers I know of off the top of my head who don't perpetuate negative stereotypes about rappers

where did race come into this

rap is black music
you are racist if you disagree

yeah because the thread wasn't about race in the first place I'm sure OP meant all the white misogynist rappers

stop falseflagging you wouldn't be racist but you'd be an idiot to say otherwise

you'd be racist for appropriating black culture

no it's true about rap yours are all just stereotypes

>school shooter rap

because niggers lack critical thinking skills

>Kendrick Lamar
Haha

...

>tfw realize these are some of the most insecure people on the planet
It's always the same shit. Money, girls, weed, big dick, big titties, tight pussies, money, girls, weed, cars, beating people up.
If writing songs trying to prove how much better you are than everyone else isn't insecure as FUCK I honest to God don't know what is.

>racist
When people say they don't like rap it's more about the content than racism.

The way Jay Z says "loooove~" on Monster gets to me.

His songs usually only reference them, or could be interpreted that way, though. They're rarely

>"DUDE WEED LMAO"
>"HOLY SHIT ME AND THE HOMIES JUST SMOKED SOME BLUNTS"

>projecting your own insecurities on millionaire rappers

Yeah they must be really insecure with all their cars women and jewlery. I bet it kills them inside lmao

nice arguement

>black metal dudes make anti christian songs only
someone hasn't listened to newer black metal, huh

>pop singers sing about relationships only
the beatles didn't do that at all, maybe in the beginning but it went a completely different direction

>shitty Dutch DJ's make tracks about partying hard only
i wouldn't know

>''special snowflakes'' with self-diagnosed mental illnesses create edgy music to express their condition
i don't even know who you're talking about, this could be the entirety of music

actually black metal is extremely diverse lyrically you fucking mongoloid .

Andre 3000 admitted he loved doing that show teaching kids about the different genres of music, and was sad when it got cancelled due to some fucker claiming he pitched the idea first.

>"The radio people don't play songs without words anymore."
>"Yeah, I know. But don'tchu worry about that. As long as it's jammin', all the cool people will play it."

Yeah, you bring up a good point. I still think there's some insecurity though.

how long was this on tv? i don't remember it at all

They all do it specifically to annoy you.

>it's the subject matter of rap which is important
>not the flow style and everything else
Kek, this place really is full of pretentious ass holes.

>Rich people can be unhappy and sad too

Some heavy shit to lay on kids.

also
>millions

Lil B had a track where he mocked people who would die for money and said 'Money isn't even people' or something like that. It struck a chord with me at the time and I found it to be somewhat profound

not him but... why the fuck would i, a white man, ever want to be like a nigger?

Affirmative action?

I still have songs from this show stuck in my head
>Everybody do the crayon, crayon

Mos Def

kool ad

kys

That's just the mainstream shit.

It depends on what you mean by this.
Do you mean those that are materialistic, or do people talking about those subjects in a criticizing manner count as well?

This group called Facção Central from brazil is part one of the many groups that are middle class but must playing the I'm really poor card otherwise hiphop fans wouldn't like them. They put on this cringey persona and theirs songs become corny but damn the castelo triste song that I posted has 10/10 lyrics.
The lyrics in Convoque seu Buda are just perfect if you lived in Brazil during this protests.

Kodak Black. Has similar lyrics to Tupac

Canibus

Heems

Dude, the Beatles did that shit as much as ANYONE else. Every other song was about a girl.

>But you ain't got the skills to eat a nigga's ass like me

Has anyone itt actually listened to doom

he talks about smoking weed, bustin nuts, and guns constantly

Every genre has a specific topic if you don't care to look for something unique.

>he cares about the lyrics if it sounds fucking rad

This. People need to realize the subject matter in Kodak's songs. Also he rarely curses I just noticed this.

because it's all about the bravado you present on the track, lyrics don't matter.

That African poop monkey will have his two seconds of fame and then no one will like the retard

Immortal technique?

DID

I mean, he does refer to drugs, sex, and violence but not in a way that glorifies them.

Kendrick lamar definitely talks about drugs and money but he produces his songs very well and is actually bearable to listen to. Suicideboys are at the top of my list because ya know im an edgy teen bro.

Aesop Rock

name two country singers thatdont sing about muh dualie pickup truck and muh bales of hay. its the culture they live in. do you want them to be fake?

OP have you ever listened to Serengeti? He basically crafts tons of little stories about the minutiae of life.. dudes got a lot of little yarns spun..

youtube.com/watch?v=r4YdFZLUfMo - this one's about a guy who falls in to the blue collar lifestyle

youtube.com/watch?v=QU05dbAD03g - a washed up boxer who redeems himself, his own little story

he also has a full character named Kenny Dennis [a blue collar Chicago'an, loves Brats, O'Doul's, his wife Jules.. used to be in a rap group called Tha Grimm Teachaz (of which serengeti actually made 2 albums as) then got into drugs and formed a C+C Music Factory style group with Anders Holm 'Ders' called PERFECTO (of which they actually made a full EP of youtube.com/watch?v=BDWPhQ1tp1o)] whom he's made a few full length LPs as .. they usually receive more recognition than his own stuff because of the creativity/absurdity of them i think

youtube.com/watch?v=oqrtoFWglMY [his biggest song, basically an introduction to the character]

long post, I know, but this dude is legitimately so fucking talented and just so goddamn underrated, it really tears me up inside thinking about it.. he released AOTY (for me) with Yoni Wolf (of WHY?) called Testarossa
