Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[VARNELL HILL]

It happens to almost all rappers

It really doesn't.

Post prime Jay-Z's flow can be a lil shaky every now and then...but he's still rapping at a high level.

Eminem is trash in the sense that his music doesn't connect...but his technical ability to rap is still present. Nas isn't dropping Esco bars...but he can still rap.

Current Lil Wayne is like if Stephen Curry suddenly couldn't shoot anymore late in his career.

[VARNELL HILL]

And Wayne isn't?

 

[tay1]

And Wayne isn't?

No.

 

[a blinkin]

Wayne was never the best rapper alive at any point.

Son had people gassed with that line.

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

And Wayne isn't?

No

 

[tay1]

Wayne was never the best rapper alive at any point.

He could make the case for best mainstream rapper st one point

 

[HOU$TON]

Weezy definitely was the best rapper alive 05-07

 

[nawghtyhare]

idc what anyone says
his sq - carter 3 leak era(again the leak not carter 3 retail)
was one of the best

 

[tay1]

I'm disappointed in SO

idc what anyone says
his sq - carter 3 leak era(again the leak not carter 3 retail)
was one of the best

His renegades freestyle still one of my favorite tracks from him to this day

 

[tay1]

This Gangin II is a disappointment

And how to they label make money off them with all the samples they use? I swear I heard a Marvin Gaye sample on here

 

[VARNELL HILL]

****** are obsessed with the idea of being "the best". There is no "best". There is no "goat". All these ****** are considered "goats" because: 1) they either died first or 2) they told us they were the best first and alot of people believed it.

Personally, I think it's absurd that anyone considers Eminem a "goat", but I'm not going to ignore that millions of people do. I'm excluding my personal bias. If you say Lil Wayne isn't considered one, you would be lying to yourself.

All of this is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the original point...that rappers just don't lose their ability to rap. It's a craft. You can lose sharpness, but you can't forget HOW to. A good sketch artist isn't going to forget how to sketch one day.

Is there a song to this beat droppin tho?

I’m mostly talking **** fam. But by saying that he’s considered as one of the goats speaks to my point of saying he’s got people gassed.

But I said it a few times on NT that the only Wayne project I’ve ever heard in its entirety is No Ceilings. No one should take my opinion on him seriously.

 

[Gordonson]

don't even waste ur time
listening to this trash
nawghtyhare did that
so hopefully u aint have to go through that

 

[tay1]

First two Wayne tracks actually cool. Dedicate is fire. Will listen to the rest tomorrow

 

[All_$tar1997]

Young thug was right.

It’s official, it’s trash. When wavez say that about one of his goats I know he done. He even tried to save face a little to not make him look bad.

 

[JRaW’d]

*****s are obsessed with the idea of being "the best". There is no "best". There is no "goat".

There is a best and he is the goat.

He’s alive and well and he’s not the best just bc he said he was.

There’s a clear answer to the conversation of whos the goat in hiphop. “Fans” will just continue to deny what’s OBVIOUS until he has one foot in the grave.

*EDIT: im not implyin wayne here...

 

[kingfoamnyc]

When you listen to a couple tracks and then "turn it off and listen to the rest tomorrow" you know it's boo boo
