smino voice is very hit and miss to lotta people's ears and I say this as a huge fan lol.
yea sure but I’m arguing that’s a good trait. It’s memorable and adaptable. It’s just he goes too far sometimes lol
his voice made him easy for youtubers to create entire careers around parodying Ghoma this gimmick you have is old.
Early Drake had a pretty unconvincing rap voice for quite awhile. I feel like his voice was at his best NWTS/IYRT era
Freddie imo got the best rap voice rn.
best flow and best voice out there for sure
I’m thinking like The Waters, and the circus. Good examples also of what I’m talking about is the other guys in Flatbush zombies other than meechie, doctor dot of earth gang, bas, lute, cozz , REASON
You need to listen to his recent album if you haven’t
Heavily slept on and his delivery is really sharp now. A far cry from his earlier more monotone rapping (Although he had some great joints in the past)
Carti has one of the greatest rap voices of all time. S*** lowkey hard carries him
it just depends on the listener man, there’s no discernible quality of what makes a rap voice bad.
Drake can’t sing, but niggas will tell you his singing house album is his #1 cause they like his voice
i find it grating
Weird voices are winning rn tbh
I feel like mic presence & how good a rapper’s voice is was like one of the most important skills you had to have back then
Eh i think in the underground theres a strong meta with tana/sofaygo type niggas, if u cant rly sing them niggas not fw the artist

Tbh I’ve only heard smoke break on that album and his voice didn’t interest me on there, I’ll peep the rest that sounds dope. I heard a lot about it. He knows how to rap his problem for me has always been he’s kinda bland
still is
I don’t agree a lot of mainstream rappers today don‘t really give af about mic / stage presence live especially compared to back then

100%

it doesn't change tho
I agree completely but tbh now its all about melody, if u cant sing over some crazy ass hyperpop sounding s*** ur cooked
That’s just a trend that will die
New guys doing some different s*** always come along

they definitely don’t care about stage presence
When that rap voice is Big Sean.
Bugged out

Yes it does
But unpacking why that is the case is a discussion worth having

My thoughts exactly. Kendrick can have the lyrics flow and production but sometimes his voice sucks. And that alone ruins the song.

Thank you
KNEW WHICH ONE YOU WAS GON POST BEFORE THE THUMBNAIL SHOWED UP.
NIGGA SOUNDED LIKE GOD SNORING ON THIS TRACK BRO
2pac probably has the best rap voice
Pac Biggie Nas DMX Prodigy Raekwon - all 90s
Yes it does
But unpacking why that is the case is a discussion worth having
oh yea no doubt, just some people may find like Kendrick’s alien voice annoying
but then if you try to explain to them the creativity in his approach and why, it doesn’t shift their hate. it’s just “why can’t this nigga just keep rapping in his regular voice, why he gotta do all this”
