I feel like I'm missing something with this performer. It could be the fact that I'm 39 years old and grew up during the 80's, 90's and 2000's Hip Hop eras and I'm missing the point, but is he serious? As in, is he a serious performer? I feel like my Dad when I was a kid and he said to me, "this is not music!" I would get so upset with him, but now I find myself saying the same thing.
Hip Hop has reinvented itself many times, but I don't get this performer and some of the other ones that Fly3 posts. I'm not knocking it, music is a personal choice...it moves everyone differently. But do these performers make money, or do they only release YouTube videos. My students that I teach (high school) don't like Lil B, but they like some of the other artist that Fly3 posts.
I like "newer" artists like Cool Kids, Dom Kennedy, Kendrick Lamar (I know they have been around for a while), etc. I'm just not "getting" this music. I feel so old.
