don't listen to him but i i like him

he's goat

gay

why does every rapper look like a 1/2 gay degenerate these days?

Lil Yachty is lame. I just don't like his vibe, it's whatever. Maybe I don't get the kids these days.

Jeffery is the superior gay rapper.

Being weird is now considered cool in black culture.

he can actually spit when he wants to. he's just having a good time and poking fun at the industry.

>Being weird is now considered cool in black culture.
No it's not.

Being 'weird' is considered cool in the 'black culture' the jews create and promote.

theres nothing to get. hes just a middle class kid who wanted to make pop rap without pretending to be some thug or conscious guy.
hes the best artist out right now

He is black xD

>without pretending to be some thug
except he does do that
>hes the best artist out right now
ok so you're joking
have a nice day

where does he pretend to be a . thug?

21 Savage >>>> Lil Yachty

When has Lil Yachty pretended to be a thug or a gangster?
He explicitly states he just wanted to make party music, he's just a fun-loving kid.

His voice is annoying as shit and he has red licorice for hair.

the point where i realized im getting old. this shit is trash lol.

I can agree that Lil Yachty is garbage but you obviously have zero idea as to what you're talking about.

Gucci Mane and southern atlanta hip-hop/trap scene ruined hip-hop 4eva.

t. nwa fan

Guwop didn't start the mumblerap shit though

You are the 90's kids of hip-hop.

who did?

He's really fun. Not lyrical but you shouldn't be listening to yachty for lyrics anyway. He makes fun music to vibe to.

Of course, most people here will simply say
>LOLNIGGER STUPID MUH BIX NOOD MUMBLE RAP"
and disregard him for his hair despite listening to cobain who dressed in drag and dyed his hair red, scandenavian metal bands who dye their hair black and wear fingernail polish, and other assorted weirdos.

Yachty isn't a "gay" rapper. Though I agree thug is better. Jeffery was better than anything yachty has done. Still enjoy both though.

like future young thug n them, but i think future and thug are actually better than all these 18 year old soundcloud kids.

>I've never heard a yachty song and base my opinions of him on pictures

22 years dunno man i can't stand the monotonic beat codeine, the weed, the big black booties, the fake riffles and $s, the crappy southern hoods and generally the tasteless lyrics. Hip-Hop has lost the flow man, trust me.

A true musical genius

youtube.com/watch?v=4Mvc7W8Hkp0&feature=youtu.be

Marketing Mastermind

That deal with Target is going to keep him relevant,

That's the problem with such unique sounds in Modern hip-hop, they struggle to stay around.

I like him, but he's talked about guns, violence, and gangs in multiple songs, look up the lyrics to Interlude and Up Next 2 off Lil Boat, as well as Shoot Out the Roof off SS2. There's a lot more examples that I can't think of off the top of my head.

To be fair to Yachty he's been around for what, a year at most?

>raps about guns when he probably never shot a gun
>raps about stereotypical money and jewelry shit
>raps about fucking whores
yeah totally not acting like a thug

So you've never heard a Thug song then?

Future worked with Guwop in 2011 though, right from the beginning, before Future was even mumbling. They put out Racks together.

Young Thug also wasn't always a mumblerapper, he had that weird Lil Wayne thing going on at the time.

For some reason I thought I remembered Minnesota blowing up in 2015 but you're probably right. I'm not discounting him, I'm looking forward to whatever he puts out next. Just saying, Jeffery was a hell of a record.

>MUH BIX NOOD

i mean i guess if u want to blame Gucci for this shit, hes kind of the king of Atlanta so it would make sense since atl is the biggest influence of hip hop right now. you would just have to blame him like by definition though, not really his fault.

>muh nigger rap isnt thug rap
>muh special nigger

to be fair thug is like, a genre of his own
he's hard to understand at first if you're new to him, but he's on a whole other platform than future and those guys. His melodies and harmonies are pretty insane, and I don't know of another "mumble rapper" (or any rapper honestly) who can switch up flows as effortlessly and as frequently as he does and pull it off sounding as good as it does. I'm pretty sure there are a few features where he switches up the flow 3+ times in one verse. I've never seen future do that.

>He is hip hops punk phase

you mean young thug?
yeah I have listened to Barter 6 which was good but far from masterpiece.
user recommend something new from southside, since west and eastside have lost their prestige and creativity.

Singing about guns, violence, and gangs doesn't inherently mean you identify with and indulge in that culture.
If you ask anyone if Lil Yachty is any sort of thug they will more than likely tell you "no."

And Lil Boat is a conceptual mixtape about 2 different people (Lil Yachty, Lil Boat) so you don't even know if it's necessarily him he's talking about,

I really like Young Thug. I think he might even be my favorite hip-hop artist, his progression is amazing to behold, from a Lil Wayne stan to a unique artist in his own right. He can do no wrong in my eyes.

However, despite all of that, I completely disagree. His discography is just not the place to go if you're looking for something that doesn't mention codeine, weed, big black booties, guns and stacks of cash.

He has an insanely engaging rhythm to his music but someone who really likes NWA and views them as the paragon of hip-hop would not agree simply because of the lyrics.

is there a less knowledgeable person on the subject of music that makes a living reviewing music?

Try out Slime Season 2. Barter 6 is okay but really samey at times.

So YC ruined hip hop

You know Eminem isn't really a serial killer and Gene Simmons isn't really a demon from hell?

There's creative leaway here. The same way that Eminem had his weird mommy issue school shooter persona Slim Shady, yachty has Lil Boat who is a more "gangster" persona but it's far from thug music. It's more so for contrast to his actual personality.

"Positivity is what made us famous!"

See above

idk what YC is

ACTUALLY 1016 THUG IS HIS BEST

honestly i stopped reading at "monotonic beats", because thug has some of the best "trap" (for lack of a better word) beat selection that exists. By lumping thug in a category that has "monotonic beats" he was already wrong and I jumped the gun in replying.

Yeah his content relates to that stuff, but you don't listen to a Thug song for the content. I should have read the whole post before responding tho.

He good

If you want something new that's completely out of left field, give No, My Name is Jeffery a spin. It's probably the most unique album in the genre of what's being called "mumble rap".

Hopefully one day you'll be able to interpret language beyond what it reads at face value.

>He has an insanely engaging rhythm to his music but someone who really likes NWA and views them as the paragon of hip-hop would not agree simply because of the lyrics.

>NWA
>It's not about a salary, it's all about reality

>"mumble" rappers of ATL
>It's not about reality , it's all about reality a salary

what the actual fuck

i know right lmao arent people with dark skin wacky

Reality is a salary, though. Time is money.

its not even the skin, he has the same facial expression and everything. his face in that pic made me immediately think of the jeepers creepers movie

wait hang on now
do you even know how fucking brutal the areas that thug and future came from are?
you can make the agrument for yacty because yes, he was a suburban kid but i have absolutely no trouble believing at least thug (if not future as well) have been involved in gang warfare and shootings and drug running.

just because they're not making boom bap hippity hop about 1990s south central LA doesn't make them any less rooted in reality, just like lil wayne rapping about money and women is still real. it's their lives.

thug was literally a savage in the deep ghettos of ATL before blowing up.
youtube.com/watch?v=8w8QCnC2T_0

the shit they talk about in their songs, guns, money, drugs, women, is just their world

Young Thug is the genuine article. He robbed a nail salon for 5000 dollars when he was a teenager. His projects were so fucked up that they were torn down. He actually did come from nothing. I think he lacks a filter due to his upbringing which is why he's so 'ignorant' irl, what with his instagram and twitter problems. Conflict is just his life.

Future's a bit more dubious because he's playing a character, has repeatedly stated that, and it's difficult to see where the narrative ends and reality begins regarding certain things. Pretty sure he actually grew up in a crack house though. Poor little Nayvadius.

future also does a lot of genuine personal songs too though, not all of them are just gun running and selling crack. hndrxx is actully full of them which was a nice contrast to s/t.

he is just chilling and yeah I know about the savage hoods of ATL but it doesn't mean 90's rappers of east and west were raised in wealthy houses, basically they endured more hardships and poverty than current savage mumble eighteen yo rappers with instagram and iphones.
youtube.com/watch?v=fuHQJH9Wm_w

It's not an excuse man, guwop and his kids with plastic guns, codeine carton glasses and monotonic hi-hats beats with flowless rhymes ruined hip-hop for the next generations.

"Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide."
IC

Future was literally raised in a crack house and you just had two separate people tell you that Thugs dwellings were so run down and poor that they were demolished. They didn't come from wealthy houses.The only way they're getting the money for those phones and to pay for studio time is if they do exactly what they're rapping about. Robbing people and selling guns and getting involved with gangs.
I never even implied that NWA and other 90s rappers grew up rich, although NWA members in particular wasn't exactly below the poverty line. Their whole thing wasn't "we're poor so we have to break the law to get by" their thing was more like "you're forcing us into a corner and then beating us half to death when we try and get out of it".

>It's not an excuse man, guwop and his kids with plastic guns
just got through explaining to you, as did someone else, that they have almost certainly all used VERY real guns before. Are they supposed to continue to rob people and sell drugs after making money in music? Do you think Dre and Ice Cube are out there getting in shootouts in 2017?

> codeine carton glasses
Not even sure what that one means, but if you're just talking about how often southern rappers talk about lean, its no different than 90s cali rappers talking about weed.

>monotonic hi-hats beats
well all the boom bap songs you're talking about have monotoic high hats in them too, it's a pretty standard part of hip hop production and sampling specifically. If you've listened to any of the Thug songs linked earlier in this thread, you'd see how diverse his one project 'Jeffery' is alone and I'd wager to bet he has a more diverse beat selection than NWA had song for song.

>with flowless rhymes
Factually incorrect. Flow is exactly what they do perfectly. Their flow is far more nuanced and honestly complex than rappers of the 90s when this style of hip hop was in its infancy.

>ruined hip-hop for the next generations.
Opinion. I can't wait for new Thug and Yachty.

Thug is just the second iteration of Lil Wayne what will the third be like

itt: white kids glorify bunch of rappers who take 5minutes to write their lyrics

this essay shit is cringe.

Thug and Wayne really don't have a whole lot in common musically other than both being black and both hanging around Birdman.

Thug started off as a wayne-lite but he's gone far beyond that now.

>People discussing music on a music discussion board is cringe

People complaining about this shit are why this board will always be the trashiest among the main creative interest boards.

>itp: a 15 year old redditor in his "rap is crap xD" phase.

>white kids glorify bunch of rappers who take 5minutes to write their lyrics
Young Thug draws pictures he doesn't write shit.

Using the term cringe in such a context outs you as a high-schooler with a judgmental streak btw.

He's /goofynigga/ core.

>im gonna fuck your girl
>im gonna shoot your mom

what kind of cuck would willingly listen to this garbage

The new punk :^)

discuss this youtube.com/watch?v=BWOdixai7Y8
not mumble rap
i like rap but all this essay shit on party rap is cringe
damn such an impressionist
#genius

Go into /classical/ if you want to discuss that.
Don't go into a thread where people discuss Lil Yachty's merit in the current hip hop climate then demand people stop talking about it and begin talking about modern classical.

That's what /classical/ is for.

thats music concrete you fucking pleb
jfc

>Their whole thing wasn't "we're poor so we have to break the law to get by" their thing was more like "you're forcing us into a corner and then beating us half to death when we try and get out of it".

It's called morals, and all of them were raised in poor suberbs of compton they endured gang violence, weapons, assaults, weeds, racism police brutality etc. But their whole concept was to open the eyes of public opinion.
>"you're forcing us into a corner and then beating us half to death when we try and get out of it".
they weren't masochist, they just put critical thinking in their ryhmes with some cosy west funky rythme. It's called reality rap something than current chrackhead rappers don't possess.

>Do you think Dre and Ice Cube are out there getting in shootouts in 2017?

they are still more relevant than all those kids when they reach Dre and Ice Cube age.

>southern rappers talk about lean,
yeah I talking about this crappy purple sprite mix, it's literally vommit and they always use the excuse that this crap drink improve their voice. Huh most of them mumble and can't sing because of lean and weed overdose before the recording.

>Flow is exactly what they do perfectly. Their flow is far more nuanced and honestly complex than rappers of the 90s when this style of hip hop was in its infancy.

Are you serious? NWA were pioneers and their beats and sounds were natural without cheap electronic mixers. Don't know about young thug, but all those trap beats copy each other and their conceptually so simple than even a high school kid produce, while NWA beats were complex and melodic.

>Opinion. I can't wait for new Thug and Yachty.

can't wait for another masterpiece with pioneering lyrics and prototype beats.

>i like rap but all this essay shit on party rap is cringe

there is nothing wrong with being knowledgeable about the music you listen to.

i bet you post in p4k threads.

Being "weird" is cool everywhere now, so everyone under 25 is forcing bullshit quirks to fit in and be hip.

nah i hate p4k and blame them for this mess.
but i understand what you mean. my fault for even posting in this thread

I don't care what it is, it doesn't make you any less of a retard

Musique concrete, what a le intellectual

> Do you think Dre and Ice Cube are out there getting in shootouts in 2017?

No but DJ P aul and Juicy are. And they do it just for fun/sport

whats your thoughts on Thug Motivation 101

whatever the bitches like

absolutely nothing wrong with 21 Savage's content

youtube.com/watch?v=8Mq56hiGL5Y

youtube.com/watch?v=XGlkEmr72FE

no girl you actually want falls for see through shit like forced quirks.

yeah let's circlejerk about our patrician musique concrete like we're real intellectuals. let's do some mental gymnastics to make ourselves believe we're better than people because we listen to some italian guy mashing notes on a piano. no need to let all kinds of music onto our patrician board.

>It's called morals, and all of them were raised in poor suberbs of compton they endured gang violence, weapons, assaults, weeds, racism police brutality etc. But their whole concept was to open the eyes of public opinion.
That wasn't the point. They weren't trying to shine light, they were venting their struggles. Cop Killer and Fuck Tha Police weren't made to sway people to get behind them like a piece of BLM propaganda. They were just venting their frustrations with what they saw as a corrupt and bigoted, systematically racist system.

>they weren't masochist, they just put critical thinking in their ryhmes with some cosy west funky rythme. It's called reality rap something than current chrackhead rappers don't possess.

I didn't imply that they were masochists, simply that that's what was happening in South Central in the 90s. It was the life they lived and it's what they rapped about. ATL rappers were raised in even worse conditions. They rap about having to sell drugs in elementary school and rob people because it's what they had to do. It's not two sides of the same coin, it's two different coins. Again, I reiterate; just because they're talking about selling drugs and using guns doesn't make it any less reality based.


>they are still more relevant than all those kids when they reach Dre and Ice Cube age.
remains to be seen. dre is pretty much completely irrelevant. no one really cared about Compton, it kind of just came and went. he doesn't need to be relevant for the rest of his life after the beats sale. ice cube is relevant right now literally solely for being an actor, lol.

>yeah I talking about this crappy purple sprite mix, it's literally vommit and they always use the excuse that this crap drink improve their voice. Huh most of them mumble and can't sing because of lean and weed overdose before the recording.
what?

re: the rest
-boom bap beats are inherently simplistic, thats where the name comes from. not a slight, there's a place for it, but trap beats are far more complex even if you don't like the sound

-flows, as i've stated previously in this thread, have evolved far beyond the days of ice cube and no Vaseline. that was the beginning of hip hop in this form. it's still good to this day and i'm not trying to say that it isn't. but that doesn't make what comes out today any worse, and it certainly doesn't make it more simplistic because that's just incorrect. it's specifically because of the electronic advancements and the fact that anyone can jump in but only few can master it that the beats are more complex than ever.

-metro boomin is a fantastic producer with some of the most unique beats in hip hop. if you're listening to yachty thug or future for """lyricism""" then you're listening to them for the wrong reason, but then again NWA (who i'm only mentioning because they're your go to for "good" hip hop) weren't posterboys for lyricism either. they were poster boys for angst and raw emotion and changing the paradigm.

honestly, it just seems like you're rather unfamiliar with the subject. your arguments are youtube comment-tier. willing to bet you've never listened to a full yachty or future or thug project.

>willing to bet you've never listened to a full yachty or future or thug project.
man this board really needs to stop its projections
getting sad!

did you not read what I just said?

he talks about fucking your girlfriend and literally shooting your mom. what kind of pathetic and submissive faggot would willingly listen to that trash?

then i have no idea how you can listen to projects like monster, DS2 and honest and say the beats are simplistic or copying eachother.

You're supposed to put yourself in their shoes. That is how you feel the power of music.

You sound like an actual cuck

LARPING
oh i see now. makes sense

ok they just reproduce the chronic problem of southern hoods without wondering what went wrong like NWA did, it's all crack, weed, fat-asses and pointless hustlin.
Also I cannot accept the fact all those worldstar-hiphop productions use real weapons in their clips.
Anyways, I am 22 and probably was raised with other influences.

>roleplaying as some dumb memerapper that has to let you know hes "real" every 5 seconds

really empowering. i feel the power of this music now

SERENITY NOW

are you that kid from the emo thread? lol of course you don't like music outside of your bubble.

1 in 1000?

you dont know girls then

why do you think my statement was exclusive to 1 artist or even 1 genre? It applies to ALL music

If you don't take yourself for the music ride how are you even perceiving it

so im suppose to imagine myself as bjork everytime im listening to her
who knew i was transgender damn
more projecting love it!
heres a song for you youtube.com/watch?v=WL2txMU50CI

you're the one that thinks about people fucking your girl and killing your mom instead of the other away around

If you can't relate to bjork in any way then why are you listening to her music? What do you get from it?
