I think it’s more directed at his fans lol

What culture? Tyler is important to mainstream culture and he has a rap grammy, but mainstream culture considers Lil nas X hip hop (lol) and watch him rack up rap grammies in the future. Streets aint playing either of those dudes

Tyler is pretentious to me because he complains about not being posted by Akademiks then s***s on people who went to jail/are doing d**** in their early 30s. Lame AF

Tell me what's wrong with this?

Watch how low yall think of black folk.

Re write this in a way where you don't think 8ts pretentious.

It's more original than most of his peers lol. Lets not cap.

And how do the visuals come off as pretentious to you? All he did was wear a wig and a suit and Tyler doesn't even take himself that seriously to begin with.

How is saying kendrick is pretentious directed to his fans?

Donald glover is a rapper, singer, actor, comedian and TV producer

But he gets the same weird black person label

Dudes be projecting

Hip Hop is the most popular genre right now.
So not sure what you mean by 'mainstream culture' . Cus it doesn't get more mainstream than hip hop right now

i don't think kendrick is pretentious. I do think dudes in their late teens / 20s need to talk to older black hip hop heads (or use common sense) if they really believe every project kendrick has dropped is a classic despite a lack of replays compared to his biggest commercial peers - j cole / drake.

If you think sauce walka and tyler the creator audiences are even remotely the same idk what to tell you brother

Tyler has to go to NBA youngboy / 42 dugg etc cuz he wants to draw in (for example) the audience that listens to those guys sauce walka etc

Real

What the hell are you talking about dawg?

Replay value Is personal preference just like thinking something is a classic

the same thing tyler the creator was complaining about. Black men (generality) are not rocking with him like that and he knows it

I do not think being a classic is a personal preference but if you do that's fine with me

I agree on replay value. Still, Kendrick fanbase is massive, the yearn for his NEW music is massive, yet his old tracks don't get spinned like J cole and Drake. Why? we can come up with different reasons for that and can individually determine whether those reasons are valid

however the point of my post was, realistically, there is no damn way s80, gkmc, tpab, and DAMN are all classics yet the PEOPLE and STREETS aren't replaying his stuff like that

JMO

What does this have to do with what I said tho?

I said Tyler is important to hip hop culture too. And he is.

Are you implying that because niggas don't f*** with him as much as someone like NBA Youngboy or Sauce Walka, that means he isnt?

I don't even know why you brought them up or started talking bout fanbases/audiences in the first place. Lotta the niggas who listen to Eminem aint the same niggas who listen to Gucci Mane or TI, you gon say Em wasn't important to the culture?

It's because of the lane he's in, they get called that all the time.

in one ear and out the other, have a good night bro

Y’all be calling the wrong ones pretentious

This is why they need to close registration again.

Letting all the tards in
