When did YB make a rip off WLR?

Yea I think Imma let this go cause it's clear you're pushing a perspective regardless of what you're responding too.

Cuz you're not at all on topic rn

Who’s a fan me or you?

His album I Rest My Case

We talking about superstar talent and he complaining that Tyler fans don’t like YB. We’ve lost the plot, lock thread

How am I not on topic?

You said street rappers don’t get respect anymore because they don’t put in effort.

I said I disagree and the reason they don’t get respect is because of the influx of these Tyler/kanye type of fans that just don’t respect that style of hip hop.

It can be both. As someone who started listening to hip-hop in 2008, I can still hear the clear difference in effort in street rap of those who are popular today vs before 2010. F***ing Meek Mill tapes are still classics.

You can even tell in interviews how bored and mundane these street guys are with the music. It's a bag first.

You can't tell me this channel isn't gentrification and mass consumption trends affecting the music in hip-hop right now?

Rage beats = WLR. F***in walnut brained idiot

Personally I just wasn’t a fan of the production YB uses in the songs I’ve heard of his outside of his collab with Tyler. But I do like Tyler’s production and I liked how YB sounded on it. Can’t speak for anyone but myself but I’m willing to bet that’s why a lot of people praised that collab on here

Well the nigga wasn’t rapping over rage beats before that album came out now was he

I mean the writings been on the wall for like 2 years now,

Rap budgets been getting smaller and smaller
Festivals haven’t been selling the same way they used to
Signs of Consumer fatigue been pretty apparent as well

Middle america is bored of rap and have less money to spend
They dictate the market ultimately, unfortunately

That being said, I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, everything has it’s time being the front leader and maybe that will yield better music on all fronts 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nobody was. Doesn’t mean every song with a rage beat is a rip off WLR. That’s f***ing stupid

Gee I wonder what album pioneered and popularized that sound

Like a lot of us have said before...hip hop is relying on to many of its older acts to keep hip hop afloat. Where the next 50? Em? Drake? Wayne? All these new acts are nowhere near those rappers. If you got no new rappers to replace old ones than hip hop will decline, that simple.

@Nikedufflebag bag i asked you two whole questions you ignored here for your own agenda.

Like you really don't seem interested in a debate just ranting bout how much Tyler and Ye fans suck which is fine they do but like I'm not gonna argue a topic idc about.

It’s called “influence” for a reason

See this is what I mean yall don’t even really know rap like that. So many rappers from the 90s and 2000s did it as a way to make money just as much if not more than “for the art”

He said rip off dumbass

Influence can be perceived as ripping off if not done with taste

The difference is back then those guys had motivation to be the best artists they could be, these newer guys have no drive to do or be that

See wtf is “taste”

You faux artsy niggas kill me man

Afro beats & Amapiano takeover

You have no way of knowing that. You don’t know what’s truly in an artists heart

Know what's funny I just thought about 2008 street rappers didn't really sound anything like 2014 street rappers

Now compare 2018 street rappers to 2024 street rappers outside the Michigan scene how much has actually changed with how they flow and the production
