innovation in rap has been dead for 8 years. sorry!

60 yeras old btw

Whenever a mf says “media” I just check out because who tf are you talking about lol? Y’all REALLY reading complex? Rolling stone? Where are y’all being pushed these artists without seeking it out in 2025 fr

Like yeah rap media prob gonna keep dragging s*** but who cares? Who is listening or reading it in the first place?

Drake fans really just running a full copy of MAGA strategies and arguments

where is your little brain at

you wish you could though 😂🍆

Honestly, I think too many bandwagon music fans sided with Kendrick over Drake in the beef for moral or virtuous reasons over rap related ones which is a mistake.

Kendrick said straight up that it was just competition. But, tbh, Kendrick did make it worse when he tried to explain the meaning of NLU.

Take Fantano for instance. Fantano made a whole video whining about Kendrick working with Carti due to Carti fitting the profile of a man that Kendrick said he didn't like to associate with in his disses. And Fantano called Kendrick a hypocrite and said that "Kendrick isn't your savior(something Kendrick said himself on his last album).

I don't even think it's Kendrick. I think it's people desperate to find a "rap savior" who will serve as a moral crusader who will "fix" hip hop. Kendrick himself never once tried to promote himself that way but a lot of his post NLU bandwagon fans have.

And now they're learning the hard way that Kendrick is still a rap nigga and that he still has no problem associating with the "bad guys" in hip hop if they have a connection.

These post NLU/beef fans want Kendrick to be something he's not and "cleanse" the hip hop game. Even Dee-1 basically said this when talking about the reception to Wayne's album. He said people are s***ting on it because it's not "conscious" as opposed to it being musically mediocre. And that's a very pretentious way of looking at it.

In a way, it's similar to how Eminem back in the day had all these casual fans who would s*** on hip hop and claim he's the only one rapping about "real life" even though Em himself had a completely different outlook.

This reminds me of my hero, Drake!

so bad

It’s like Kendrick’s Merab and Drake’s Sean

no were not stop it!!!!!!!! give a f*** about good music!! give me a rapper that will put their balls on the table pause. someone who will create motion so that we see it and go with it. not doechii. until then yeah enjoy good music

someone who will create motion so that we see it and go with it. not doechii.

The fact you added doechii is proof you (and everybody that keeps bringing this up to dismiss artists that give a s*** in spite of the current zeitgeist that be) dont know what that means

Uk open mike eagle is the craziest s*** i read this week

Yall be on here ranting and raving about artists not creating motion just to discard or ignore artists that are truly original or bring something unique to the table you choose to dismiss due to reasons that have nothing to do with the music itself.

create motion is another word for “somebody tell me what I should listen to” like the lazy spoonfed piece of s*** some of yall be. Y’all have no idea how yall sound like when yall say ed s*** like this and thats the funny part.

YOU dont like the artist, but you not gonna tell me any artist that is winning awards and achieving enough of a spotlight is being seen isnt creating motion. Just say YOU don’t like their music.

I miss when yall wasnt lying all the damn time.

Yeah I loved when Open Mike Eagle got his breakthrough artist award.

F***ing hate this forum sometimes lol

I also remember when he got a song with coldplay

And remember his acting debut too?

soon as they announce shes doing a tv show or movie or radio show its wraps

ice spice had more motion than doechii. great truly viral videos, good songs. too bad gooners online kinda ruined any honest discussion plus her album was dead on arrival (label entirely at fault)

Blame other rappers
