Doechii isn’t even super lyrical man her album is filled with hooks and nothing burger songs
What does someone like destroy lonely do to warrant the same respect as Doechii
You’re talking to the wrong guy because i f***ing hate destroy lonely
This criticism is valid but the same can be said for the opposite type of person that only likes conscious rap. If you can’t appreciate the entire spectrum you not real
I used to be that guy. Would annoy my homies with that conscious rap talk nonstop
Eventually grew to appreciate both types of hip-hop after Mos said there’s room in the game for both. This was during the Soulja Boy era when we were all up in arms about the state of hip-hop
She wasn’t even selling her music. She was responding to niggas comparing her music to Harriet Tubman s*** just cuz she’s black and raps over boom bap beats.
Doechii not even a conscious rapper she just doesn’t rap over trap s*** and gets hit with that label
Niggas itt doing the exact same corny s*** she was talking about
they’re proving her point and don’t even realise it
S*** really comedy lol a niggas rappin about all the f***ed up s*** going on and tryna bring awareness and niggas be like I don’t wanna hear that struggle s***. They rather listen to the nigga rappin about doing it on wax. Then when those blow up it’s like clockwork here comes the paperwork. Now it a debate on whether or not actual civilians should support a snitch.
It’s like they get off from watching the “trauma p***” but they wanna skip through the dialogue in the beginning

U right but that convo is still bubbling under the surface

opens up the music listening options so wide
That and I think her ethos is just not interesting tbh. I seen folks calling ABNH her S80 and it damn near broke my heart for her
She herself said it’s a mixtape idk why yall not taking her at her word
It also stings when things that are “supposed” to sound good (e.g Noname) don’t and then things that are not supposed to sound good (e.g Sexyy Redd) do
This is all pointless talk though
Music is music
-someone that didnt listen to Sundial
Sexy mfs bout to bring back consciousness and lyricism I can already see it. Most logical way for it to come back, “geeky” niggas can’t - and couldn’t - do it
I hate to be on this type of timing, but labeling conscious rap as Harriet Tubman music means that person clearly doesn't give af about the plight and struggles of ADOS(African Descendants Of Slaves). Shows a complete disregard to history and legacy which reflect the anti-intelluctual movement going on in the world these days.
ADOS blood, sweat, and tears laid the groundwork for so many African American artforms and philosophies. They are the seeds and Hip Hop is among those fruits.
It’s sad that anti intellectualism is enjoyed today
first song that came up on spotify, and first 3 tracks of the album
Oh nah u just have bad taste
TikTok plant is crazy considering she’s been signed for three years and that user prolly didn’t know she had a song w SZA

Also crazy that this narrative comes up merely because the rapper isn’t relying on s***appeal and the inherent hype of trap music
And if we factored colorism into this - but that isn’t my place
Oh nah u just have bad taste
oh she TDE that's why y'all d***ride her so hard
