Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Damn this spot on lowkey lol :smh:

The quotes :rofl:




Sheesh :lol:

Meanwhile, Rocky’s music, by and large, could best be described as derivative.

He takes all the sounds he’s fallen in love with—be it Houston rap, New York boom bap, psychedelic rock or electronic music—and making inferior versions of them, though to give him some credit, it has so far worked for him. He’s a successful artist that has certainly spawned imitators who copy him copying other people.

It’s not that his ego is unearned as much as it’s just makes your eyes roll back into your head when you read someone applaud themselves for making music that isn’t very original.


The author sounds ready to swing on son.
 
Rocky just acting like everyone else. You feel like someone is a jerk? Nah, you just soft...

He ain’t no different than the everyday person, nowadays
 
All that Rocky article sounds like is a ***** who's mad that someone else has confidence in their **** & views themselves as more than a rapper.
 
I don't think Rocky's heart is even in music.

I don't think so either. I think he's used to being one of the bigger names which he was for a few years and he's not now. Think he just assumes his name is still big but it's not. A$AP Ferg just gotta 2x plaque, Rocky just chilling doing other things.
 
Rocky doesn't want to be like Wale. He doesn't want to be thought of as one of the top rappers or get respect from rap fans per say.

He wants fame and money. He has that, so he's good. He is thought of as a celebrity and is almost outside of rap at this point. He can go to parties with celebrities. He can go to fashion shows.

If he were cold he wouldn't be able to get a shoe with Under Armour.

Him getting a shoe w under armour has nothing to do w him being hot or not in rap. He is a fashion icon in this new era. He don’t have to rap
 
And rocky most certainly Atleast thinks of himself as a top rapper (LOL) judging by what he recently said in interviews

Nah that’s actually exactly what he wants he basically said it in the interview :lol:. Talked about how he ahead of his time and it take the masses a year or two to catch on etc just like some Wale ****. He wants to be heralded as a visionary like the dudes he hang out with ( ala Kanye, Frank Ocean) but also for some weird reason wants to be recognized by the art world as a fine artist, _’s wanna be Basquiat

Dude called himself the "greatest contemporary artist of all time", _'s just using buzz words don't even know what they saying lol

seems like he’s trying to overcompensate for artsiness and “specialness” ever since yams died

He started doing this late 2013- 2014, Yams didn't pass until early 2015 but it didn't seem like he was involved with this stuff. When he passed his moms said he felt like he was getting pushed out tho so it kinda make sense timeline wise that the less he was involved the more cringe **** started getting

That was prolly most telling part of that interview to me.

Chick asked about him making his first album without Yams and he kinda downplayed him a lil. Basically said he was never in there approving or disproving **** anyway and that was he was like a "energy" that wanted to put on new artists, which is kinda like the polar opposite of what Yams said he did in the group. I imagine they lowkey prolly getting tired of _'s saying they fell off after Yams passed tho
 
Rocky 1st tape still goes hard :pimp: ...aint listen to nothing from him since then tho cuz I peeped the direction he was going early

This. His first tape and Lords Never Worry are the apex of that whole movement. Nothing they’ve made has come close. ASAP Twelvyy’s album is probably their 3rd best release, and it’s a distant 3rd.
