it’s ok if you don’t like what you’re hearing today dude just means you’ve maxed out your expressive bandwidth rap has to offer

? i love new music that’s literally all i post in this sxn and im old af lol (i listen to old stuff too but i only post about new music on ktt)

i rather just listen to old rap if i’m in the mood for that typa rapping ngl

more power 2 u broski i ain’t mean any offence, feel like what you described was fatigue/burnout than anything

I liked mobb deep but felt like I didnt understand the hype fully

Got high as hell and listened to murda muzik and prodigy shot up to being like a top 3 rapper for me ever lol i listen to them every day now

SRS era earl and after which feels weird cos i like mike and nem

I love a lot of Gang Starr music, but it's in spite of Guru, not because of him

Denzel Curry, he had me with N64 but I never felt the same after. Paris, Texas too

Ka too, ironically i like a lot of niggas he influenced

what makes you think you “should” like them?

seems like you dislike most of the big names in their subgenre of rap lol

I should be more into Earl & Saba than I am but I do like them but also wouldn’t pay to go to a solo show of theirs

Tbf he is a big fan of Lil Uzi Vert, Juice WRLD, Rich Homie Quan, Quavo, Gunna, Offset, Kodak Black & rap Post Malone so i understand his point

i see it tbh

he prefers melodic but still rapping at its core

the artists he listed (aside from 21) are more melodic usually

rap after 2018..

NBA. I’ve tried and tried..

I think if you’ve never failed a high school course he’s hard to get into.

veiled hater thread innit

• lil bibby - grew up enjoying loosies n welcome to fazoland but he never stuck w me for some reason

• open mike eagle - i like r.a.p ferreira n the whole ruby yacht art rap s*** but there jus hasnt been a song, album or buzz thats pulled me to him

• goonew - ironically really enjoy how shawny binladen's sound is inspired by him and the whole dmv trap movement years back (xanman, moneymarr, lil dude, lil xelly, etc) yet his music never reached me outside a song or two

• tony shhnow - his collabs be fire but i peeped reflexions and nothing stayed w me outside of the zelooperz feature

F*** you

99 percent of the south post 2010 sucks ass to me.

J Cole for sure. On paper, I love introspective rap and all the folks that are his influences are amongst my favorites. But his perspective, although admirable, has never resonated with me.

Meek Mill too. I love aspirational and chip on the shoulder get to it raps, but in the words of Phil Leotardo, “my estimation of meek mill as a man f***ing plummeted,” once I visited his Twitter.

Yeah you can do whatever but it doesn’t stop the actual fact I’m making.

I can’t rock with anything that came after 32 Zel, but N64 is the absolute peak.

N64 and Denny Cascade goin up on SoundCloud right before the tape dropped made me a fan. Hasn’t been the same since.
