Hopsin?
-
Now I'm gone let you finish...
-
Joey Bada$$, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Lupe Fiasco, Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, Bishop Nehru. Hip hop doesn't suck now you just might be listening to the wrong hip hop my friend.
-
You were obviously born post 90s cuz that shit you listed isn't hip hop. It's trash.
-
And you're obviously one of those guys that has no appreciation for talented young rappers. Have you even listened to any of the music of the rappers I listed?
-
You obviously have diarrhea in your ears because those artists are the cream of the crop for hip hop. And I'm white and I even know that. If shit isn't funky. It's no hip hop. If the beats don't sound like a kit. It's not hip hop. "Keep the hi hats funky"
-
Ask Cool Herc what he thinks about what you call hip hop. Bet you don't even know who he is.
-
Cool Herc is a DJ. Next?
-
He also created hip hop. Do you know anything about this subject?
-
Who gives a shit dude. Ya he created hip hop by cutting jazz and disco records together. Hip Hop grew out of the disco-house movement. It's a counter culture to rock, and jazz. And now it's THE culture of America. Bling and bitches. Keep on keeping on guardian.
-
Childish Gambino is the best thing in hip-hop right now in my opinion. He's amazing.
-
Gambino is amazing. It's wacky to me that people that liked old school hip hop can't appreciate the way it's evolved and the talent in this new school of lyricists.
-
When the copyright infringement law went down towards hip hop musicians sampling jazz, funk and rock...when this happened, hip hop died.
-
If you say so bro. My iTunes library is filled with music that I call amazing hip hop by a range of talented rappers. I can appreciate that you're old school rappers were good, it's strange to me that you refuse to see the value and skill of the next generation.
-
The zeitgeist of hip hop has changed. That's why I can't get involved inside of it. There's an image at stake, and that's all the industry cares about. Selling out. Grown men listening to modern rap is childish.
-
Lol I'm not the ambassador of music. But lyrically hip hop sucks yes. But people listen to it much like how people do with reading. They use it to get away from real life and to put themselves in the shoes of the artist. Some people can't -blam!- bad bitches every day so they like to hear about those that do lol idk
-
That's why I hate hip hop. It's not music but a lifestyle, an image an ego. It doesn't exist without bitches and money and cars and grills. The complete opposite of what I grew up with in the 90s. I listen to Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5, Beastie Boys...etc. This is REAL hip hop. Everything else is retail corporate bullshit.
-
I was born in 93 so I didn't get to experience that music and fully appreciate it :/
-
You can't say hip hop sucks and then get angry at one of the best hip hop musicians of all time
-
You cant really think thats true
-
of course he can. and kanye isn't a musician. anyone can learn a couple of songs on a piano or strum a few chords on guitar. doesn't make you a musician. if he didn't act like such a self entitled douchebag all the time more people might like or even respect him.
-
He makes music he is a musician, just because he doesn't play an instrument doesn't mean he isn't a musician. Secondly, his actions don't determine the quality of his music and it is absurd to think otherwise.
-
to each his own. i'm not saying him being a douche determines the quality of his music. to clarify i can dislike a persons music, job, lifestyle, whatever and at the same time still like or even respect them as a person. just depends on how they carry themselves in life.

Edited by RedPhotog: 2/27/2015 4:34:11 PMKanye West is an abortion to music. He should be castrated in public. Period.
-
How exactly? I get some of his actions are controversial and some are ignorant, but what exactly is wrong with his music?
