How did it get old when that’s still what sells

Did I say that?

Nah, it has a lot more substance these days b

Did I say you said that?

The genre grew and that’s still a major aspect of it just like competition

I hear a lot less of than I did 20 years ago b

That's why albums like 4:44, JIK, 4YEO, TPAB, exist b

While they still have hints of bravado and competition, it's far more introspective than in the past b

Not worrying about what the next man is doing and focusing on your own sound is literal advice successful rappers/artists give b

Literally every successful producer says this. But then you got KTT producers with no credentials preaching the opposite saying this way of thinking is lame 😂

But competition is still apart of them

prolly human nature

Competition is still apart of me, doesnt mean I cant acknowledge its toxicity b

It's honestly ingrained in black culture as whole b and why we have a crab in the bucket mentality as a culture but thats a conversation for another thread b

playful competition like x did this so y wants to make something even better is good and encourages creativity

people who literally start hating each other and, in the worst case scenario, turn to violence is wack af.

It’s toxic because thats how you decide to make it. Be competitive because you want to see a better version of yourself instead of just wanting to see other beneath you. You’re personal experience with being competitive doesn’t make it toxic.

I can do those things without being competitive, so why add something that even has potential to be toxic to the equation b

It's like people who claim d**** make them more creative, I'm sure it does to a point b

But you also might become a crackhead b

yall are so corny smh not even white

yall are so corny smh not even white

Nah we officially white now because we want to see everyone succeed b

Are you black though?

You can be competitive and still want people to win

And you can not be competitive and still make amazing rap b

Really annoying when cacs try to redefine hip hop to their liking

Yes but what does me saying that even mean lol its an anonymous site

Funny thing is I bet money the two people who said that are white

Itt Mexicans calling black people white for discussing black culture on a website ran by white gays b

You’re racing to beat the time you had on your last lap. You’re competing with yourself congratulation.

And also in competition, someone always has to lose, but in collaboration, everyone wins b

It's a great feeling, I can't wait for yall to feel it one day
