Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[trynafeelmink]

Some of you really throw around the word genius too much.

Dude has been involved in ICONIC songs of the decade & has worked with every iconic & genius artist of this generation, how is dude not genius. There isn't a long list of people who are gonna be able to produce generational hits constantly, he is. To be able to construct those hits, is genius.

How is Dream a genius song writer, when people constantly complain about the depth of Beyonce's music. Well they did pre Lemonade.

He's made popular songs

he created a whole new soundscape/subgenre of r&b, his dna still exists in artists like the weeknd and swae lee and has created some of the most beloved songs of all time by women while being a straight male. dude is def a underappreciated genius.

 

[Mark Antony]

ah ****.

 

[tennakeyslim]

Pimp c the closest thing to a down south pac imo, to this very day he still be preaching to my soul like pac

 

[6pac]

this ***** thought this crowd full of grown men was gonna start cheering for him? “respekt his gangsta”?

 

[americangenius]

YBN Cordae got bars for real, can't wait for a real project from him. Kid has the juice

 

[Peep Game]

I can see Gibbs comparison too. But buck is the down south pac everybody try to say boosie is.

I can see people saying that about Buck lyric and style wise, but as far as the feeling people get when hearing them rap, it’s most definitely Boosie. Idk, I was never a huge fan of his, but I get it, especially Boosie’s earlier music. Basically everything up until his post-prison stuff.

This why ***** don’t be feeling sorry for Safaree when he gets victimized.

Good on NYC for restoring the feeling . No wack **** allowed!

So Future, Rihanna and Drake are geniuses for making hits

The content and the substance of the songs don't matter, as long as they're popular. You're a genius.

You dudes have really low bars for that word.

Nobody is going to be looking at that bull**** 30 years from now as some Bob Marley or Jimi Hendrix level work.

The first person who comes to mind when I think of the term "musical genius" is Quincy Jones. His contribution to the culture so underrated.

I think of him and Prince pretty much instantly.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Freddie mercury is the biggest musical genius. The dream a musical genius? lmao

 

[str8drop]

I personally dont even look at the term genius like that. There’s a lot of geniuses imo, most just don’t have everything else needed to actually do something with the ****. There are levels within this tho

Dream is def s genius level talent to me, that _ beat the odds. We not even supposed to know about Dream like that, he supposed to be in the background writing like Starrah and James Fauntleroy. He not a sex symbol, doesn’t really have one of those large personalities or brands. _ just too damn good at making music

Lol what
Being a genius isn't an opinion

I **** with Buck heavy but he ain't got the influence of impact Boosie got. Boosie is a king all through the south and parts up north especially Baltimore.

Always thought it was cool how he was able to write hits for others while still being able to do so for himself. It’s normally one or the other (Sean Garrett is a big example)

I was shocked as hell to see Sean Garrett on love and hip hop.

This man wrote big hits for Beyonce, Chris Brown and others.

What’s a genius

Once I saw _'s discrediting Dr Dre I left these "genius" discussions alone.


A lot of fans really don't know the work people put in and what goes into making records. They just base things on who they like and don't like.
