Is Rap in a flop era?

[luka]

lets start a third world war. lets start a lyrical war - start a ridiculous war

sharky major my hero

 

[luka]

[luka]

beezer do you like this yes or no

 

[luka]

beezer do ou lime this

 

[0bleak]

luka do you like this who the fuck is beezer

 

[luka]

ghost used to be called ghost of beezer. ghost of beezer used to be called beezer. version kept being mean to him and it made him sad so he left and came back under a new name.

 

[luka]

i quite like it. its not quite as good as it should be but its fun and the fiddle sounds good. the guitar is good too.

 

[0bleak]

It's one of those tunes I'm kind of conflicted about because the person behind it was shitty.

 

[luka]

thats never bothered me in the slightest being that i have no morals

 

[0bleak]

You ever spend your whole life running away


from where you're from (physical location, culturally, aesthetically) only to realize decades later it's all for nothing:

 

[ghost]

beezer do you like this yes or no

yeah this one goes hard

Jay Electronica genuinely the funniest US rapper for spending a few years dating a Rothschild and not releasing anything, and now only referring to her with esoteric antisemitic bars

Got any examples?

 

[rubberdingyrapids]

completely wrong take. GKMC is a real classic, and there's a slow even downhill since then, with Damn being the first one that's genuinely bad.

Any album with dna is no terrible album.

 

[ghost]

im sorry but this is corny

putting aside rhyming "DNA" with "DNA" 11 times in a single verse… what is he even saying

even just the line "I transform like this, perform like this, was Yeshua new weapon"

it's literally nonsensical



let's compare to TPAB:

 

[rubberdingyrapids]

It just bangs, thats all there is to it. that TPAB verse might read better, but DNA just sounds better.

Drake shouting out Taylor Swift on his new freestyle has to be one of the lamest things he has done.

 

[ghost]

the point is that Kendrick put a (also corny) verse on a Taylor Swift remix because his label has him by the balls

 

[rubberdingyrapids]

i would actually rather listen to drake than kendrick at the mo tbh. kendrick just sounds like hes a bit try hard a lot of the time. hes a different kind of artist ofc, so maybe thats unfair, but drake actually sounds good on this latest dis record (taylor swift mentions aside).

 

[ghost]

also telling that "rap beef" no longer means "two guys are threatening to kill eachother," it's more like a mid-off between one-time greats who have fallen the furthest over the last decade

also telling that kendrick won't even make fun of drake for being a groomer, presumably because he has his own skeletons in the closet

you know what? i owe kendrick lamar an apology. he is now calling drake a pedophile. he's also threatening to kill him. and he's probably putting out his hardest verses since the Obama administration.

 

[dilbert1]

This is how I feel. Wild that no one has even really tried to do what pop smoke was doing since he passed.

The new playboi carti song a few months ago I thought was great and maybe a new direction of 'bladee but listenable' but the songs he released after I wasnt huge on and now hes gone silent again

This one right? I’ve listened to it like 5 times per day this week, burrowed into my brain completely, I surrender!

 

[line b]

It’s an amazing song
