needing to be perceived as nonchalant or mysterious without any real lived experience or the underlying swag thats needed is the problem lol. probably a result of our online society putting more emphasis on having a more individualized, curated expression, rise of micro-niches, isolation, etc.
Truuue
Danny didn’t start getting his flowers until he got a Caesar and fixed his teeth
Also took him to water down his sound across two tapes (unknowhatimsaying, Quaranta) and the latter was a weedplate
XXX was a known classic.
@Nikedufflebag by the time stankonia came out niggas got over it.

To who? Danny blew on the net
He didn’t get embraced by the mainstream at all, he has bars on that tape about being called a weirdo for wearing skinny jeans dawg lol
We’re talking 2011-2012 here

what part of my post said "mainstream" nigga I hate that yall think that's all we talking about.
Yeah I know. EYE was there.
Danny wasn't accepted
yeah. That critically panned mixtape that niggas (WHO WAS THERE) hated because of his weird aesthetic.

There is an education crisis going on in this country. That couple with a growing anti-intellectual movement, niggas can't even read a***og clocks anymore.
Don't get me wrong I like reading a book here and there, however those who insist it's the most productive way to teach yourself over the Internet, ChatGPT, memes, and real life experience is on some dumb s***.
Imagine y'all speaking to a chick in the club and flexing ike:
"oh yeah that Dean Koontz paperback i bought was completed in 2 days."
She gonna be dryer than a desert.
Bookheads need to be more inclusive.

and on the bigotry aspect: I just seen gen z done cancelled that one dude's career with that viral dance that came out as bi and seen a lot of transphobia within the underground scene (which is ironic considering the aesthetics all dem niggas borrow from is pretty much lgbtq stuff)
90s and 00s we didn't have the language and knowledge, and thus a lot of ignorance was allowed. Wasn't okay then and nothing can justify. I'm just explaining what the vibes was as a nigga that was there. Them Ace Ventura movies is nasty to look at now.
Tf is YALL excuse?

i'm tired of whispering and i'm especially tired of rappers not rapping 80% of their own songs at their show. like it doesn't have to be pitch perfect, idc if you use autotune, idk if you let the audience sing some choruses, but so many of these new kids just either can't or will not rap a single verse all the way through. it's frustrating lol
They aren’t lol
Niggas be so desperate to feel included with us for some reason
I do not want to be included with gen z
no disrespect lmao
Its pretty much impossible to be cool and famous nowadays
You have to be hyperaware and everything you do is getting clipped and will be available for millions to see
Your brain knows this and will adjust
Being cool is appearing effortless. This is the opposite of that
Panopticon type s***

loud and wrong
danny brown has never "gotten his flowers" lol wtf are we talking about
but he was ALWAYS critically acclaimed, far before knowhatimsayin
XXX was hailed as album of the year by various hip hop publications and old was also critically acclaimed he was always underground and weird that was his thing

What transphobia have you seen in the underground?

YOUR mans Dave Blunts for one lmao
I don't think there is a universally excepted cool anymore
One persons cool is another's cringe
The UK hype feels like the "Thing vs Thing but in Japan" meme I don't hear any gap between them and the niggas in America they just have accents
thank you
This cool but the issue is its trying to "restore the feeling" using one of objectively the coolest songs we grew up with.
Nobody is creating that feeling of them being themselves and cool --- its just pluck and play formulas (let me be mysterious like Carti or act like another variation of Future)
” its just pluck and play formulas (let me be mysterious like Carti or act like another variation of Future)”
I mean a lot of niggas don’t wanna admit it but a lot of people don’t fw s*** unless it sounds like stuff they already are conditioned to listen to and like lol
What worth is it trying to genuinely make your own lane and do a different sound and direction just to get dismissed as scaring the hoes music as opposed to just going with what works lol

A lot of songs get spliced together with studio magic ✨ They can't rap like that irl

Punching in getting popular was the gift and the curse
See op didn’t wanna say it so as to not alienate people but this is about black coolness
kenny's like our age tho lol.
yo i swear i thought this mfer was like 23, i did not know this nigga was 30
because hip hop is a cash grab/hustleto most folks now like you said it’s overly homogenizing
grindset culture niggas make everything lame
