no one can take a compliment these days smh

many men is damn near a negro spiritual what are they talkin bout gangy

It’s another discussion to be had on just how dumbed down the verbiage has declined for rappers.

Like all the trap, gangster, street rappers of the 90s and 00s all just…used more words than the trap, gangster, street rappers of the now dawg.

That's how I see it, you keep bringing soul and emotions like lil uzi or destroy lonely can't make u feel that without writing a concept album

Yup. 50 Cent was actually seen as dumbing down his lyrics on Get Rich Or Die Trying in comparison to his mixtape run but now? lol many men sounds like Pharaoh Monche compared to some niggas

Some of y'all forgetting that Rocky was heavily influenced by UGK and it shows

What did Destroy Lonely say that changed your life man

Rocky’s biggest influences are Cudi and Wayne until Yam’s deaded that s*** cause ain’t nobody tryna hear doobie raps

No we’re not.

We’re saying he was a product of the internet and had just as much Memphis and Dipset influence as Houston influence.

Yall keep overlooking that lol

rocky was influenced by a lot different people. the important takeaway here was that he was still very hip hop!

And Yams had that nigga listening to everything from 90s NY rap to Houston s*** to Kurt Cobain lol

she just wanna go back to the future so I brought that girl a delorean

Rap just a reflection of society.

We gotten so dumbed down that niggas make videos of this because it’s becoming…like not common for folks to read anymore

The fact she's even has to come out and say this is pretty crazy and really let's you know the state of this s***.

Niggas have joke and clown anything that's not street or club adjacent for years and those same people will turn around and say "everyone sounds the same", "hip hop is dead"

But if it wasn’t for Yams, Rocky woulda been another stoner rapper

And since Yams died it’s been for that boy smh.

you got me. Fair

Those bars could be spit by your average pain rapper today ngl lol

Their problem is not the lyrics. The problem is they are just free styling over YouTube type beats whereas 50 had better producers

🌽

He got way better bars than that

I mean yea Yams was a genius

rappers used to use more big words? really? this is about as superficial of a critique as their is. also i straight up dont buy it lol.

that blaccmass guy who be remixing songs really showcases how a lot of new guys just have bad production. no s*** you can really dance to fr and im just talking about the trap guys fr. the guys who supposed to be making the party songs. the songs to play at the club and the house parties.

Gotta show proof then lol.
