Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[WASHED KING]

The decline of the radio and the decline of big rappers out of NYC isn't a coincidence.

Was NYC really running hip hop or were they just controlling the radio?

New York invented hip hop.

Other regions provided their own spin on it.

Radio and clubs is part of the downfall of rap, because nobody cares about lyrics or saying anything.

Went back and watched the justinlaboy interview off the strength of cam.

**** was actually aight fr.

Jim ain’t say nothing really crazy . He gave props to Mase, and just said how he don’t see how them *****s is cool. That ain’t his business for real, but we in the opinion era…and that’s what these *****s do. So it’s fair game.

All this **** is so dumb. Mase sitting up there, still being a pastor…while engaged in some of the lowest **** is funny to me . I enjoy the show, but always side-eye how they coming. Them old Harlem dudes are different, indeed.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

how so?

what city has produced more quality rappers than NYC?

You said you've never even read that cam/dipset are wack even if that's hyperbole it's a wild thing to type

We're not talking about orgins. I never debated that.

What NYC rapper has a discography that can compete with Future? Jay? Maybe Nicki?

I've come to the conclusion Cam is a troll and anything to get that attention and the numbers up. Dudes fight for relevancy.

When he was running the Melyssa Ford **** into the ground when she was even responding to him, I knew what the hustle was. Everybody go watch what Cam is going to say next.

As if two things can't be true, Mase can teach Jim how to rap, and Mase can still be a snake.

The funny thing is that Cam gave Jay props, but always says sideways stuff about him. Real weird behavior. Cam didn't talk about who he did for, because all these people were under him. Who came home with a job from Cam? JR came home a year or two ago?

If Future is your standard of what a good rapper is there is nothing to debate.

Did you want to hear Future make a diss song at Drake? Do you think he could make a diss song at Drake?

That type of energy Cam has needs to die. You can refute claims or check someone w/o trying to embarrass them.

That's that 90s energy that ultimately f'd up hip hop up for a while.

 

[wavycrocket]

I honestly never felt “they” ever stopped viewing rappers as such…

The people with real money. I’m talking about the average consumer, everyday person + general sentiment. Feels like the tide is turning on perception about them. And for good reason too.

catalog wise HOV

You said you've never even read that cam/dipset are wack even if that's hyperbole it's a wild thing to type

that's fair

I got a little excited lmao but you rarely see someone not like a single dipset rapper

everyone had a favorite

 

[blacklion23]

What exactly do we mean by quality? Look, a lot of big artists have come from here. But I personally wouldn’t describe some of their work as “good quality” music. In the end, that’s all about preference though.

The bridge is still thru NYC

IS IT????

Or do y'all just say that ironically. I mean y'all got Ice Spice, and middle aged rappers turned podcasters. I will give yall that.

Joe Budden, Cam and Mase, Kai Cenat. Yall got the yapping down to a science just not when there is a beat present.
