Us fans of old rap embrace new rappers all the time IF THEY HAVE TALENT. A lot of mainstream fans from the early 90s now just listen to underground rap because the mainstream is watered down for the masses. I can't hate at the end of the day everyone just wants to make money but don't say we don't embrace new rappers.Originally Posted by TheBachellor
I honestly don't understand this "watered down" talk.
You act like Kool G Rap rapped about anything of substance most of the time anyway. If you're talking about "conscience rappers" then I could see your point, but you're talking about Kool G. Rap.
It just seems that most of ya'll are mad that Drake, Wayne and others make music more accessible to the general public. Like ya'll in some secret treehouse club where it ain't cool anymore if everybody joins.
"NOOOO! He's a rapper and girls listen to his music! Such watered down crap!"
And then there's the people who feign nostalgia as another way to hate. "It's not like how it was in the 90's!". Son, shut the hell up. Don't no one care bout what you think about rap 20 years ago
I don't understand how its only rap fans who think like this. Fans of other genres embrace at least some acts of the new generation. But it's always rap fans who are willing to put a decade after which they refuse to listen to anything beyond that point. I don't think you realize how lame that is.
+@!% is disgusting, b.
It's obvious that you don't listen to Drake if you seriously would rather listen to Cudi over him. Screw "opinions"; he's just flat out better than Cudi at everything. This is what i'm talking about; how bout you listen to the artist's discography before "hating" just because they're associated with another artist (Wayne in this case) or because their singles do good on the charts.. Drake don't even rap like Wayne so how does that wayne quote have anything to do with him?Originally Posted by Jking0821

I will buy all of thier new albums and have bought thier old ones and a bunch of mixtapes. They all have talent. The problem with wayne and drake is that its mindless rap about nothing. Every song either says the same thing...or nothing. "Got off a jet...long neck....keith sweat....pass like brett.....drink from a mug upset.....sudden det (death)" Um i am now dumber for having researched his lyrics on Roger That.

Its funny that you talk about "mindless rap" then list those particular artists. Skyzoo is extremely talented, but he posseses different subject matter than 90% of what's out there right now? You serious? Stop naming "unpopular" artists just for the sake of it when you know damn well that for the most part, they're not talking about anything different than the person you're chastising.
If you said something like "I don't like his rhyme schemes" or "his voice just doesn't do it for me"... you know... something that he posseses that is DIFFERENT than the other artists on the list then i'd understand. But when you don't even listen to what's beyond the radio for a certain artist and make assumptions based on that then you just hate. Cause I damn sure wouldn't put Jay in my top 10 based on Izzo, Girls Girls Girls, and Blue Magic.

I don't get how you can dislike Drake but list Kid Cudi and B.O.B. as acts you like. Drake is pretty much better at all aspects of rap and music in general than either.
I also don't get how people pigeonhole certain artists strictly off their radio cuts. To say he talks about the same things can only be due to lack of exposure to his other music. As not fond as I am of Drake's current direction, he is still one of the most versatile acts out now.
this!!
Its all personal preference. Drake life's and his subject matter (or lack there of) is boring to me. B.O.B. is very versatile and his world play and rhyme schemes are way more complex then drakes. B.O.B. also produces a lot of his own tacks (see May 25th mixtape). He plays the guitar and piano on a lot of his own tracks as well. Needless to point out the obvious that he has way more musical talent then Jimmy. Kid Cudi is way more creative then drake. Cudi actually makes music with a purpose and i can relate to him more then i can drake.Originally Posted by DipsetGeneral
