Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

[Chrisksaint]

I used to think I should branch out as I have a tendency to just listen a bunch of old Tupac, Eminem, Jay-Z,etc. but recent occurrences in this thread have taught me otherwise.

He's the "Hip-hop is dead." archetype, almost satirical on the mic, and I love it. He gettin' money. Find the closest rapper to Chief Keef outside of Chicago, and I'll see how similar they are. Could have sworn you told me you only listen to three or four rappers earlier in the thread, though.

1st: When I say this? I listen to a lot of artists. They tend to be on the lyrical side of the spectrum but I enjoy stupid songs just like very one else. I like rappers who exude charisma when they rap. Rappers like A$AP, Honey Cocaine, 2 Chainz.

Hell, I LIKE THIS SONG:



AND THIS ONE:

AND THIS ONE:

I like my fair share of ****ty songz and am unapologetic about it.

Now, where I'm really narrow as to who I listen to is R&B. It's Jhene Aiko.....Jhene Aiko....and some more Jhene Aiko with a little bit of Frank Ocean thrown in there.

Ugh, I've drifted off-topic. But, as to rappers who talk about senseless violence. Huh, Where do I start.

These guys do it much better than what Keef is trying to portray.





Now, I can start naming folks if you want me to do that.

French Montana
Meek Mill
Rick Ross

Meek and Ross do it better than Keef, while Montana is slightly better than Keef, but only because he didn't need his one hit song remixed for it to blow up.

Okay, I like the second track, and you can tell it's more recent just by the trap vibe. They're not better than GBE in my opinion. Not as energetic with the delivery, no ad libs, nothing really gripping. First one sounds too sophisticated for my taste.

Ross and Meek are not as ignorant and reckless in their lyrics as Chief Keef is, sorry. No way. They just don't appeal to me as much.

And @ docking Sosa for letting Kanye remix his song. He had already blown up prior to that anyway, then the hypebeasts started to hop on upon the release of the remix. That definitely wasn't his only hit either (Bang, Everyday).
