Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Hahahaha]

It doesn't matter that you don't think he has 3 or 4 classics. It's the consensus.

Nope, I’m not rolling. Most of those people think he’s a god and he’s a fashion expert. It’s cool and trendy to call Kanye’s albums classics. If you or those people can sit through all those albums and not skip more than a song or two, than cool.

True or False: Drake is a top 25 rapper of all time, right now.

I say true.

Hahahahahaha, he’s banned from any real list because he has multiple writers. If he didn’t get exposed, he still wouldn’t make my top 40.

Baller is so extreme.

College Dropout, Late Registration and Dark Fantasy are classics. I wouldn't be mad if somebody said Graduation was.

You play those albums in their entirety often without skipping more than two tracks?

Depends on the barometer you’re using:

As far as success, he’s way up there

As far as lyrics, no matter how much people wanna deflect his talents, he can pen nicely compared to a lot of people, that ghostwriting **** I chalk up to chasing hits

Sales, up there but times have changed with streaming

Talent, up there...as in people always check his projects out at least once

Overall? No one is touching Jay IMO, but the argument can be made for top 15

 

[tay1]

Drake is not in a top 15 overall

 

[HOU$TON]

If it is about artist who molded the current crop of music....then it’s undoubtly Wayne. The good (Kendrick/Cole/Drake/Future) and the bad (Colored dread “Lil’s) all site Wayne as a seminal influence.

It’s that simple

Only songs I skip on College Dropout is Workout Plan and Breathe In. Gold Digger on Late Registration. Nothing on Dark Fantasy.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Kanye is a tap dancing biscuit boy.

 

[tay1]

Only track on Graduation skipped is drunk and hot girls. But what a terrible measure of a classic album . I skip a song or 2 on illmatic. Doesn't mean it's not a classic

 

[HOU$TON]

Who came up with you can’t skip songs on a classic tho

 

[tay1]

Just heard “Pieces” by Tory Lanez.....this ***** bit Budden’s “3 sides of a story” . That ***** something else.





50 went off though.

Biting Kendrick flow too

***** is a chameleon

Megamind *** boy

 

[Hahahaha]

Can't call an album a classic if you skipping mad songs. Classic is basically perfection, why would you need to skip songs on a perfect album?



I might lose the war and start streaming music. It's getting hard as hell to download albums that aren't popular. I've been trying to find this Nym Lo and TXS albums and no ****in luck. **** getting old.

 

[Magic33]

**** this is trash, even for a southern Rushmore.

P, Face, Juvie, Juicy

Master P?

As far as what?

Juicy J?

As far as actual rapping?

 

[Hahahaha]

Master P?

Juicy J?

As far as actual rapping?

P and Juicy were good southern rappers. They weren't mad lyrical but they could make a good album. P did **** no one else has done and really changed the game for the south. Juicy makes beats and has been doing it for like 22 years or some **** now. That's why they'd be on my southern rushmore. Rushmore is legends, people that were great but made a real impact on rap and their region.

I had Bun and Killer Mike in mind and they're better rappers but they didn't have the impact that P and J had.

that's exactly how I gave in

DL'ing music started becoming a chore after a while

plus discovering music from genres I'm not super familiar with makes it worth it

 

[Baby Face Nelson]

Next time you ****** say that Drake is top whatever all time, write out your lists in full. I need a good laugh

 

[ninjahood]

We know parts of the south is wild

NJ got da same law.

 

[OBAMA]

Cant believe people still hate on drake

 

[Hahahaha]

This song was so hard when it dropped, **** still serious. I can't believe this song wasn't on his album. Joint still get me hype.

 

[delete1234]

Cant believe people still hate on drake

They won’t until he’s done. They didn’t stop hating on Wayne till he was on his last leg. It’s just the cycle

 

[Olympus]

Drake is high up on the all time list for me (top 25) because of longevity, consistency, and versatility.

Man gave us WATTBA for those that wanted bars and then puts out a mainstream smash with Hotling Bling 2 months it so later. Admittedly, I’m not the biggest fan of a lot of his sing-song-ish tracks (i.e. Marvin’s Room) but it’s the ability to infuse melody that gives him the versatility that’s allowed him to last this long.

How many other rappers been this hot for nearly 10 years straight? Drake can give you bars too. Let’s not act like dude wasn’t rapping his *** off when he first came out...that “ghostwriting” stuff is silly. The ability is there and I’m sure he still writes but just like your favorite rappers he gets help.

 

[kevlar]

so his effort on WATTBA is considered "bars"?

 

[6pac]

i hope one day alex tumay or someone just gets fed up and releases an *** of vocal sessions from all the autotune mumble ****** with no vocal effects
