Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Aren’t you a Houstonite? So, you don’t think he modeled his sound after some Houston rappers?
yes,
and no

modeled after rappers? what lol...now has he rapped about Houston? heavily...why cant he

drake gets respect from every Houston OG...the only ppl that hate are dudes like sauce walka that wanted something and didn't get it. even ZRO stated drake was gon do a song with him but ppl hated on ZRO and told drake he wasn't feeling him and ruined that opportunity...
 
Houston definitely has a sound. He just loves Drake too much to admit that he robbed Houston.
 
yawn...more opinions still no facts.

Breh you from Houston you know dang well Houston had a distinct sound IE "I done came down" "man hol up" etc

Drake didn't steal Houston sound though. He had that one song that used the youngstar knocking pictures of the wall beat but that's it. And I think he made that song just paying homage to Houston since he was always down there.
 
He was in Houston for a couple years early in his career. Stole that slow and melodic Houston sound. **** ain’t an opinion, that kid Aubrey is the most unoriginal artist ever. Just hops from wave to wave, even with this new charity video. Following a wave.
 
Drake moreso pays homage, interpolates and makes songs inspired by somewhere. He has his own sound. I wouldn’t consider that biting.

What Tory Lanez does though it’s truly biting. There’s a difference. Thread gets weird when it becomes a Drake hate circle jerk :lol. I’m not the biggest fan of the *****, but damn. Give him some credit here and there.

Anyway....Tory is a chameleon and biter at the end of the day. He really struggles from not having his own sound...so that makes it kind of hard for him to really have a core fan base....Cuz he’s just doing good impersonations of your favorite rapper :lol. Once you listen to Tory once...you can just go listen to the actual artist he bit once your done.

Idk why he’s going with this Street ***** image as of late though. Identity crisis.

Street ***** ? The only thing I've heard even remotely close to that would be in his last few freestyles, but the music he's been dropping lately has been on some lover-boy type thing. Haven't heard the new album yet though, so can't account for that.
 
I can’t listen to Torey. I think he’s very average at rapping and singing. He can do both but he’s not good enough at either to make me listen. Like his idol Aubrey.

He’s 23, so for him Houston music started with Drake and Travis Scott
 
Whos really breaking the mode now? All these dudes be using the samee flow.

Even Kendrick :lol.

They were killing Logic the other day for using “Kendrick’s flow” from DNA. It was really just Migos/Future-Esque flow.

K.Dot one of my favorites....but he’s the only one that gets away with “rapping like everybody else”. ***** can get production from Mike Will/808 Mafia/Metro and rap with the Migos flow and nobody bats an eye.

Perception is crazy.

“Man hol up” not the only Houston sound tho and I don’t think thats what people really are referring to when they say stuff like that

One thing that i think people referenced instantly was the “singing rapper” **** on these slower style beats. Houston _’s have been singing and being emo on their tracks for 20+ years, before 808’s, etc. They just weren’t doing it in a commercially appealing way because they weren’t really good singers or even tryna be, all about the emotion.
 
lol you negros cant be serious...drake was signing before he even came to Houston smh...if yall really wanna have this convo post facts...post the time stamped videos please...weve done this countless times still no facts

just this imaginary Houston sound that drake stole before he even came there
 
Can somebody provide me an example of houston dudes singing back in the day?
