Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Some of these folks see J.Cole as a “Trey Styles” from Boys n the hood type dude. I relate to Cole because that’s kind of how I was. Grew up in the hood, around the violence and drugs.

But some of us CHOSE to not get caught up either because of parenting or choice.

I know if my cards were dealt differently, I probably would’ve been in and out of jail just like a lot of my cousins and people from my hood.

Y’all fail to realize, the J. Cole types be on go too. Don’t get it twisted. Majority of these hood dudes be p****y and y’all know it. It’s just people had different circumstances. You can’t judge either.

For every 20 cats like Future in the hood, there’s 1 J. Cole...
 
You gotta keep it real with yaself b.

Plenty regular *****s can relate and it can be just as entertaining.

I get it if you just prefer hyperbole rap

That's cool, for those guys who are entertained. I am not. It's not even about preferring "hyperbole" rap it's that Cole is not entertaining to me. But it does bare the question is there another "regular guy" rapper?

"Regular guy" rappers I listen to heavily are Cole, Stalley, Le$ aka CHICO, KRIT, etc.

That reminds me of a lot stories about Common being a wild dude growing up. He really from southside chicago. People see some of these "positive" rappers a certain way but some of these dudes are like that cuz the don't wanna rivert back to who they were.

if that was the case
outside of like 4 songs at most
ready to die would still hold up
ready to die has aged horribly
almost as bad as an m&m album
It is the case and Ready to Die has aged like fine wine.

Perhaps youre going deaf and don't know what a timeless classic sounds like?

Kanye indirectly help bring that regular guy rap to the mainstream where you dont have to lie about dealing, killing, pimping, etc.
