Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[frshstunna]

Bruh what is it in these certain songs that ppl out that way just gravitate to?

Like I would consider On Deck a relatively deep cut but everybody in Bmore love that ****, I was tryna explain this to the homie its like some spiritual **** going on with this trap music or something man

Hustling and 2 stepping is beloved in Baltimore...put those 2 together and you got something

Any night out in the city you definitely hearing deep cuts from gucci, boosie, gotti N everybody going crazy no matter what year it is ...ain’t nothin like my city mane

 

[$tacy]

Every major black city got their own Gucci anthem I swear. Rain man and I’m the **** the ones that still get spins here every weekend in the clubs

Basically

Hard to explain....but Boosie, Gucci and Gotti (somewhat Jeezy/old Wayne) music connects at a different level here.

Ak really a wave rider . ***** ain’t know nothing about a Lil Baby 2 months ago. He was too busy slurping xxxtentaction, Tekashi, Lil pump and them colored dreads boys to realize that there was a bubbling lane for street rap.

Baby selling a lot don’t surpise me too much. He BEEN the hottest ****** in the streets since Last fall.

Few of us tried to tell y’all....then Drake came with the extra push....and here we are.

His fanbase rock solid. Put out 2 of the best projects in a few months last year and kept building under the radar. Salute to him.

Thug gotta be looking at his management crazy. Lucci and RHQ too.

Ak has been posting him for a while tho

 

[wavycrocket]

Ak has been posting him for a while tho

He ain’t. He said like 2 months ago that “he just got hip” and he was “sleep”....and that dude came outta nowhere.

 

[numbah1grimey]

AK gotta push, whoever complex or his sponsors recommend. Whether he’s hip or not. Gotta keep the bills paid

 

[HOU$TON]

He ain’t. He said like 2 months ago that “he just got hip” and he was “sleep”....and that dude came outta nowhere.

Even then it was generic like “lil baby hottest new rapper out”

Never posted a video or song or anything

 

[6pac]

You wanna know what's even funnier about this...

She was at 1m followers BEFORE getting "exposed". Now she's at 2

“be more ignorant”

******* America

 

[Hahahaha]

I’m here for this version

 

[Proposition Joe]

I finally heard that Drake and lil baby song. Lil baby just ain't it, another average rapper at best.

And that wah wah wah line was wack

 

[tay1]

Average in your criteria maybe. Bruh is doing his thang. He's one of the few artists these days to build a buzz organically

 

[Proposition Joe]

You can be wack and still doing your thang, Look at Cardi B

 

[tay1]

Cardi is a manufactured Atlantic artist

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Define organically

 

[wavycrocket]

That’s wsup. It ain’t for you . He got the streets on lock and putting out quality. If we judged every rapper by their biggest song.....

Anyway....Bumping this right now

 

[tay1]

Define organically

No social media antics or aggressive, forced label push. Just music and buzz.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I’m here for this version

Plies got one too. This might end up being the new remixed to death track of the month.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Not with Wavy and Pee pushing him hard as ****.

At least he's better than Yachty though.

I heard it, **** fire

 

[tay1]

Any label or management is going to push their artists. The push means little if the music isn't enjoyed by the people. Bruh doing 80k with little to no mainstream presence. That's more than many established artists.

Edit: Just saw Wavy name there

 

[Figured it out]

Got Joe Budden on shuffle on my imusic ... dude legit is one of my favorite rappers ever.


Sidenote Pusha officially dropping Friday , he better drop a classic and Rocky better drop something great. 2 of my favorite artist.

 

[tay1]

Yall got the same hope for Rocky that I had for Kobe after his injury

 

[$tacy]

Young boy got it

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Any label or management is going to push their artists.

Agreed.

However, what's a bit interesting here is that this dude said he just started rapping in 2017. You don't usually see someone elevate so quickly in the business of something that involves a craft. That's a FAST *** push.

I saw an interview where he said Coach K had been trying to get him to rap for 5 years prior and how Gucci Mane tried to sign him.

@str8drop is he somebody's son or little brother that was "connected" in the streets and/or music business in Atlanta?

First Day out where im at

yep

harder than hard was too consistent to not see that there was something there
