My best friend is a “professional” underground rapper from NYC. As much as you can be a professional underground rapper anyway. Lol. I love real hip hop. Kendrick is the heir to Nas when it comes to intellectual shit. I love the grittiness and realism of Meek. I fuck with just about all kinds of rap… but not that moronic Southern lean drinking middle school drop out make-words-rhyme-with-themselves lazy pink hair bullshit. It’s popular because this generation is full of talentless people that identify with that garbage. My cousin almost killed himself when his favorite soundcloud rapper died. Pathetic. Hip hop artists used to be killed in drive bys and these kids are offing themselves because they’re effeminate and trapped in their feelings.
I’m not being edgy. I’m not trolling. I’m being honest. I’ll listen to your favorite mumble rapper over a country artist because the beat is better but that’s not saying much. It’s awful. A lot of 30+ year olds who listened to decent music growing up feel the way I do. This is the same community that pretends to worship Big but probably half of ya’ll never listened to Flava In Your Ear.
