The south got some to say

LOLOLOL

It’s more about taste, everything in art is aesthetic, which is the real black pill of art:

Why do you like what you like? Can you even control what you’re attracted to? Your taste has to align with the times, having the right method of expressing it, etc. AKA you either have it or you don’t

Thread five pages and OP got 4 pages worth of posts in here

What’s made Drake so successful is he told his story and made history..

not rlly carti n uzi n the rest got no stories

but ur kinda right. either u kill it sonically (uzi, carti, bladee, etc) or u gotta have the storytelling nailed. Writing is a skill not everybody has, n its essentially if ur not doing anything cool sonically

Dude literally talked about him and his girl losing a baby and he almost killed himself on his last album fym

Ah nigga Yo b**** has a story to tell.

what are you talking about

I’m in his ass while he play against the Utah jazz

Success in rap is about 3 things mainly

Image
Voice/Flow/Delivery
Production

The artists OP named just happen to have a certain image that he perceives as "cool" or "relatable"

No one of them is among the best storytellers in hip hop, nor do they have the most interesting life story for a future biopic

🐐

Dude really said Carti is storytelling rapper

its mostly production

Rod Wave has a Rocky story to tell

humans latch onto human-scale narratives to understand the world

this is why, as stalin said, one death is a tragedy but a million are a statistic

so yes, rappers are understood and considered interesting in the context of their "story"

this story, as you allude to, exists within the lyrics (the "four corners" of the song) but also in the artist's public perception

so i agree - a dude could have great lyrics and fire beats but without a good narrative spread about him for potential audience to latch onto, he won't be s***

Interesting thread 💪🏾

Wonder which a&r are reading this & making devious plans to fabricate sum a crazy marketable orgin story
