Yeezus
- Thread starter letsCYber
- Start date
That's my favorite timeframe. KRS-One was also great. I was fine with Snoop and some of the early gangsta rap but then it just fell apart.
I can still handle Jay-Z.

Not that my unfamiliarity is any indication of, well, anything, but I have never heard of any of most of those rappers either, Tarbox. Nor have I heard of Jason Nevins, Cruise, or Florida Georgia Line. The only reason I know of Danny Brown is because there was a recent media shitstorm when someone tried to give him a hummer onstage...I listened to a few songs and don't see what's so special about him, though.
Why you guys are into Kanye is beyond me. He sucks, he's arrogant, and well... that sums him up.
edit - kurupt is about the only rapper i can stand. weird.

Aesop rock kills it. Look up daylight and none shall pass. Great songs. Northwest rap is pretty good, with common market and blue scholars leading the way.
Btw **** lil Wayne and jay z. No one killed rap worse then those two next to maybe that abomination souljah boy

That was almost as bad as two minutes of Yeezus.
tl;dr version: Lil Wayne acts annoying in prison, gets shivved. Little Wayne acts annoying again, gets tazed, shivved, and then shivved by a midget. Lil Wayne drops the soap in the shower, and the prospect of him being anally raped by his fellow inmates is strongly implied. The end.
If you think the guys you listed weren't influenced heavily by the greatest lyricist of all time you are sadly mistaken. Just because he has been in the game for over two decades doesn't mean he isn't relevant. He actually knows how to rap and rhyme his lyrics unlike 95% of the idiots today. All guys do today is try to make the listeners believe they are harder than they actually are. No one wants to listen to **** about ******* and hoes and driving stupid cars or wearing Gucci or Prada. Rap is about telling a story and no one does it better than Eminem or guys like Grandmaster Flash and the others that started rap/hip-hip. I guarantee you had to look up what "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back," was referencing.
Pothole and Grand Canyon....I see what you did there. I'm not going to give you **** about what you're into or what floats your boat, but to drop those two names and ignore/discount everyone else is quite telling.
I sort of disagree with this. At least some of the target demographic for a lot of these rappers DO care about what someone is wearing or driving. Those brands and items are seen as the trappings of success when you grew up having nothing, seeing kids get beaten up (or worse) for their Air Jordans. Rap wasn't really intended for the suburbs and all of that; that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it, but it's hard to discount the story that someone is trying to tell about growing up from nothing (in some cases) to being wealthy - sometimes that's braggadocio, but sometimes it's meant to inspire a kid in the inner city or somewhere else, to show them that it's worth continuing to try.
I will admit I don't personally like some of the directions modern rap went, but there are others that are still very good, and I guess you just sort of have to listen with context in mind.
