rap hasn't innovated since 1994

it's still angry and proud guys talking weird right

well prog rock is like on a psychic plane of infinite light by now

he's alright but he should quit fucking around with west coast producers jocking 20 year old trap beats and just go straight to the source

or find some locals who can give him a separate identity because despite the fact the south runs things for a good reason, rap's in dire need of diversification

imo the beats are a nice call back to the 90's and are modern enough, nothing really new is coming out of the west though. every other west coast rapper (yg, tyga, etc.) is a southern copy cat tbh.

ex:

(2 Southerners, 1 Angeleno, and 0 Bay Area Rappers) "back to the bay" indeed.

all the black people in california left and went to the south anyway (literally a case of "they took our jobs"), so maybe that's what happened... (unless you like cholo rap of course)

a lot of people got into kendrick lamar for the "social" message he was trying to convey, including me. i have since stopped trying to figure out what that message is and kendrick has now turned into the often referenced champion of every non-weed smoking loser on earth. not necessarily california's redemption

at least it's better than DC i guess (wale lol). i listened to enough rich nigerian "rappers" growing up

my favourite rap star is cripple billy. cripple billy is tough as nails and gets the rap done right. cripple billy spits verbs and nouns like he's a grammarian. there's lots of swears in cripple billy's raps but you'll never be the same after hearing them all in a string.

i like kendrick because he actually bothers with having bars in the year of 2013, is a nice break from the standards of southern rap, and tries to say shit without being a conscious rapper that gives embarrassing lectures indistinguishable from a youth pastor's sermons.
#27
Post rating: ~
kendrick used to bother having bars now he just raps about how good of a rapper he is in a uniform aggressive tone & it is really trite
#28
Post rating: ~
i mean, you're probably more up on his shit than me (i basically just have kanye on repeat), but both his albums were good. i thought his control verse was good when it blew up. i mean, it's definitely brag rap, but the bars were good.

kendrick went from writing this to sh!t that is barely a step above battle raps about unleashing metaphysical lyrical murder, someone needs to stage an intervention asap



this is an exception tho he is very good here

waka flocka flame is likely the best and the worst rapper to have ever lived
#33
Post rating: ~
uh i dont really know what you could say is "bad" about flocka, he's lyrically competent even if most of his technique is in his delivery, he doesn't do anything onyx or m.o.p. or any other shout rap hasn't done before (& being from queens originally this is a tradition he is openly influenced by) but because he is atl instead of new york & raps over 808s instead of dusty mpc sh*t people think he is singlehandedly destroying the culture.
