Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread



I agree with that they say and how it should be divided

but I would put Run DMC in the first category. Because Run DMC didn't fit with late 80's artist. They fit with Flash and Five, hell they took shots at one another. They were pretty washed by Tougher Than Leather, but had stuff like Run's House and Pause. Everyone was shocked with Down With The King, which was a testament to Pete Rock. Rap had changed that fast from 84 to 88 that they were ancient by 25. Looking back it that's crazy.

And it's hard for me to leave Kool G Rap off a list, when 30 years later he still sounds like he fits. Which shows how ahead of his time he was. Plus he helped birth Nas and Pun.

DOC being mentioned :nthat:




Fat Joe is one of the coolest rappers.
 
People are so fake excited for that album to the point where they not gon like it when it come out.
 
He was being a child and didn’t do his part to promote it right. Missed the video shoot for the 2nd single, and a whole bunch of other immature ****.

Album was in heavy rotation for me. Can play that all the way through.

Yeah but dude was still one of the hottest/most talked about rappers at that time and he had bangers out. Had white kids quoting his lines. Just shows his fans wasn't really supporting him like that.

He should be one of the main examples that these certs are WORTHLESS. Because people so much stock into that ****...as if it's the best way to measure impact and influence.

I watched that lil ***** influence the entire world, and yet his album is just going "gold". What really matters?
 
Never got the YG hype. I should relisten to his projects one day.
Mustard blessed YG with great caliber production on that first album. The storytelling was really good too.

If YG was a better rapper ,album would’ve been a new age classic.
