So now Kanye wasn't making real rap? Y'all lames need to get off the gas. Troy Ave been lame to me. Instead of just opening up the lane and showing us what we been gravely missing he just talks about it. And talks and talks and talks like a bitter female. His entire "if you wasn't in the streets you a weirdo" logic is backwards as **** too.

Dudes give Kanye soooo much credit for what Andre did bruh. If y'all think "Hey Ya" "Roses" and Love Below didn't open up the door for a lot of these dudes y'all sleep. Dudes was straight up calling Andre gay. By the time College Dropout actually dropped people wasn't making fun of Kanye in droves. The door was already cracked open.

Kanye didn't change ****. And people on this real hip hop or real rap tip need to stop worrying about BS like that and just make good music.
but before that Outkast was making classics like Aquemini an such so that's why he gets a pass. Kanye just claims to be a fasionista.

While I dislike 'Ye's new music, he did change rap, but for the better.
The days of 50 Cent, "gangsta" rap were getting tired...very tired.
I much rather turn on some Kendrick, Cole, KRIT, Wale....or even Drake, than have a bunch of new "gangsta" rappers popping up with their cookie cutter "I sell dope, i shoot people, my benz sit on 22's" rap music.
**** is tired, and really isn't a reflection on what the majority of young black males (the hip-hop community) are REALLY doing.
yea thats true, Gangsta rap gets old very quick and it's all the same ****. i feel like all these rappers have nothing else to rap about and should rap about trying to "get out' of the hood instead of gloryfing about the drugs,, murder and gang talk. it's hurt people more than helped. but the culture is shot these days, people complaining it's too "soft" or it isn't like before.

its true....had dudes trading in their hoodies for cardigans |I
jerseys for shawl sweaters....
I can't respect a black men in skinny jeans....ever....like not ever...hit them with this face....when i see em
Hip Hop or rap as we know it died way before that..
when Jay had dudes burning their throwbacks and using their double xl jerseys as mops and floor mats....is when it went deceased...
Hip Hop Rap has never been about conformity...
its the voice of the oppressed....the impoverished.....the under dog.....the under privileged....the people who actually know struggle....who have been marginalized all their life and never had oppurtunity..
and then kanye wanna come thru in 03 04....with his pink polos with the popped collar....and blazers with the hoodies....and his colorful button downs...
like why are rappers dressing like they going to church, corporate interview or easter.....
I hate that
you guys chose Kanye over 50....
you choose being effeminate over masculinity...
The Black Male in america is being emasculated
from kanye derived all the drakes, kendricks, cudi's, wale's....and all those other metrosexual weirdos

Hold on. "everything I am" isn't Hip-Hop?! "Barry Bonds" isn't Hip-Hop?! "Good Morning" isn't Hip-Hop!?! "The Glory" isn't Hip-Hop?!?? Yo TroyAve, don't tell me about what's RAP and what's not. "Graduation" wouldn't be considered a classic if it didn't have Hip-Hop tracks like the ones listed above. Adidas needa drop Troy Ave quick. He's mad cause be won't get an album release date anytime soon.

Graduation was better the Curtis.
But, the gangsta music that wore thin and became cookie cutter was only replaced by dry empty tear-inducing floral pattern music. Sounds like change for the sake of change to me, instead of something better actually coming out of it. That like trading in a beat up Honda for a beat up Focus. Lateral move. Thanks 3K.
Also, as far as Troy Ave's music, I barely got through his last tape. He sounds like a 50/Max B parody. Filnobep does those much better.

This is so false
Curtis hurt real rap on his own without that gimmick same day album release sales battle that he agreed to.

Exactly.
Reminds me when people say stuff about cities and be like "it ain't like the old days". You mean the old days when the murder rate was 3 times as high?...nah I'm good dawg.
Rapping how you're gonna shoot somebody because they looked at you wrong is just as "emotional" as making a song like Marvin's room.
A different type of emotion, but still one doesn't make you more masculine than the other..at all.

Bottom line 50's album was weak and Graduation is close to a classic. Once Kanye dropped Can't Tell Me Nothing it was a wrap, he had that little battle won.
Hip Hop doesn't have to be super gangsta like 50 or crying over ex gf's like Drake. There's a middle ground and dudes need to find it. I don't blame Kanye or 3k. It's not their fault dudes took some of their style and went too far with it.

I think you mixed up what you're trading, cause you're basically saying you'd rather have Kid Cudi over DMX, killing your entire point petty I know.
Seems like you don't listen to Big KRIT either, as his music is the furthest from the group you put him in.

Yes, because rappers wearing diamond chains and throwback jerseys were symbols of the oppressed. Give me a break, you sound the emotional hood guy that failed to adapt and thrive in society.

I don't agree.
But at that point 50 had stopped being about the music, and was about the publicity behind a project. Which began to turn people off. Nobody likes a bully.
Kanye's project was better also IMO, and was hip hop.
