Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Proposition Joe]

Gucci, Boosie, Future, Wayne

Solid but it's southern bias

 

[kevlar]

Soulja Boy face should replace Chief Keefs #NoTroll
He was the first to start popping through social media and created a lot of clones through that. Plus a lot of these new artists that everybody love credit him.

the way he used the Internet to promote his music, sure he will always get credit for that. but as far as influencing how other people sound? Soulja Tsung has no claim.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

How much credit we giving dudes for influencing trash and making lazy music?

Nas, Pac, Big, Hov influenced rappers to step up. Dre, DJ Premier, Kanye influenced the sound of Hip Hop for the better.

I'll even put Drake, Kendrick and Cole in there for influencing Hip Hop for the better.


Chief Keef and Lil B? C'mon man...

 

[Proposition Joe]

Jay-z, Jigga, Hova, Shawn Carter

 

[Maximus Meridius]

If your Mt Rushmore don't include Dre and Nas redo that ****.

 

[wavycrocket]

Jay-z, Jigga, Hova, Shawn Carter

Ice Cube >>>

 

[Deleted member 107398]

IMO Jay should be a lock for anyones Mt Rushmore

 

[Hahahaha]

Gucci, Boosie, Future, Wayne

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

P, Face, Juvie, Juicy

P, Face, Juvie, Juicy

2 representatives out of Nola?

I'd sub out Juvie with Gucci. Can't just forget about the A and their dominance the last 15 ish years.

Drake isn't a rapper, he's a pop star.

I got Bun, Trick, Big Boi and Killer Mike ahead of Gucci and you’re not finding a bigger Gucci fan

Cash Money doesn’t pop without Juvie and he got one of the GOAT southern albums

 

[balldontlie206]

Side note, mannie fresh is one of the most underrated producers ever. Don't @ me.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

P, Face, 3000, Big Boi

 

[steebie j]

Bks finest > Young G's > I love the dough

Man...Puff's lyrics be doo doo but I cant deny he skated on Young G's

oh yea and BIG verse on Flava in ya ear >

one of my all time fav featured verse

 

[D StaXX]

P, Face, Gucci, Wayne in terms of rappers.
J Prince should be on there as a pioneer.

Kanye having 3 or 4 classics is ****in crazy, y'all gotta relax. I'll never understand the obsession with that guy. No way are people playing 3-4 Kanye albums straight through without skipping songs.

That's the worst Mt Rushmore I've ever seen. You couldn't make a worse one if you tried.

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

 

[wavycrocket]

I thought the Mt. Rushmore convo was about “recent” artists. But again....my post 2000 Mt. Rushmore still stands.

Gucci Mane
Lil Boosie
Future
Lil Wayne

 

[tay1]

It was about artists who molded the current crop of music. But you know he had to drop in and hate. That mt. That list you got is off unless you just talking about the South

 

[delete1234]

If you gonna put boosie up there you might as well put zro up there lmao.

This whole post is true, but unfortunately influence is influence, and in the past 10 years, the biggest influencers in music have been Kanye, Birdman's son, Chief, and a mashup of Drake/Future. Their prints are all over today's music

 

[wavycrocket]

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.

 

[Olympus]

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

I say true.

 

[tay1]

False as a MF

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Baller is so extreme.

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

 

[wavycrocket]

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





50 went off though.
