Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Maximus Meridius]

Y'all confusing _'s being young and talented with being a prodigy. Wayne wasn't one of the best rappers out when he was a teenager. Wayne wasn't making no classic album at 15-18.

Y'all throwing Keef out there. Might as well just name any lil _ who's songs you like that starts trendy slang.

 

[nice dolphin]

Prodigy?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Earl Sweatshirt sucks, how the hell is he a prodigy?

Wayne was garbage as a kid and as an adult soooooo he’s never been a prodigy.

Man a lifelong Silkk the shocker fan can’t tell me Earl sucks.
Nah

 

[Hoodrich Laflare]

Is wavycrocket and Hoodrich Laflare the same people?

perhaps we need a clear definition of prodigy...

Only prodigies I've seen mentioned are Nas & Kodak.

Keef did more than “start trendy slang”. Cmon man.

Nah

Im not calling Silkk a prodigy or a great rapper. He had three good albums but he wouldn’t crack my top 100 rappers list.

Chopper City and all the early HotBoy$ albums are ON PAR with Illmatic and the infamous! Damn right! You’re not from
The south so you wouldn’t understand!!!

All those albums give you the street perspective of teenagers....

somehow, the NYC bias always rings true. Smh. Y’all gotta stop that.

chopper city is a CLASSIC! Bg was 16 years old!!!!!

Who is saying A+ and Shyhiem are prodigies though? So where is the biasedness?

@ "NY bias"

Chopper City is a classic but that album was a underground down south classic. It didn't change hip hop. Nas literally changed how _'s rapped.

No one explicitly said Nas & Mobb are rap prodigies aside from Baltimore Wavy saying the latter are.

Max said Nas is the closest thing to a prodigy in rap but even then, isn’t sure rap even has a prodigy (I agree).

Ty said what Nas & Mobb did album-wise at such a young age is what prodigies do but he never outright called them that.

Before we continue this argument, I think we should clarify what everyone is saying because I’m getting the drift that there is differentiating between a MUSICAL PRODIGY & a RAP PRODIGY taking place?

Edit: Nevermind on the third paragraph.

Yes. Prince, Mike, Stevie, are musical prodigies. Playing instruments and super talented. When I think of prodigies in hip hop it's somebody that made a huge impact as a teen. Great rapper, highly skilled, classic music.

 

[ahat]

Wavy my dude but Boosie ain't a damn prodigy

I hated this this song
Still do
But it’s more tolerable now

White people love this song, and "yeah" by usher, luda and lil jon

 

[Magic33]

Prodigies

 

[nice dolphin]

I knew he was trolling when he put Boosie in there

Damn, can’t believe I didn’t include Prince under prodigies. Idk why I thought he was a grown *** man when he started.

 

[finessence]

Prodigies

loved this song/video when I was kid

 

[Magic33]

And to show I'm not biased



Prodigies

JD told us how they were walking in the mall, it was because they were prodigies

 

[wavycrocket]

I knew he was trolling when he put Boosie in there

I’m really not tho.....Pimp C snatched Boosie and Webbie up when they were like 16. Boosie content and music was far beyond his years. I put ole Boosie from like 02-09 up there with anybody. Real talk.

 

[ahat]

Juelz more of a prodigy than boosie

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Keef did more than “start trendy slang”. Cmon man.

What was exceptional about Keef? Was he some advanced rapper? Super talented? Wise beyond his years? Mature content? He definitely made a impact but making drill pop off don't require much talent. I would say Herb was much more of a prodigy than him. Skill wise he was a beast at 16 and 17.

Guru's son in the vid.

It's dope when someone is in charge of your legacy who actually cares about it.

I really wish they could redo the five years after Tupac died.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This _ Gates impression is too good

 

[ahat]

Used to pay 18.5 for the whole thing
Then the feds brought down BMF, **** ain't been the same
Then chine gun got killed
Then I had to do a bid
Me and Sly mobbin on the yard, ****in with the kid
I came home baggin up, then I violated
You ever shot someone you love cuz they violated?
Pistol in your mouth like a now & later
Could've ****ed your ***** but I'd be down gradin
