Damn...no one cares about lyrics, bars or being the best anymore ... IS there even a top 5 anymore?

[Sad Bunny]

Only mainstream lyricists are Kendrick and Cole at the moment .... everyone else is just cadence, melody and autotune singing (thanks weezy).

I'm not saying it's bad (I like uzi vert) but I'm the type to always check for bars and metaphors and slick shyt.

We do have royce, fab, and a few others....but even some of them are trying to do the Maldives and singing.

2016 young rappers have changed like crazy

Elzhi
Lupe
Kendrick
Ross
Gibbs

That's my exact top 5 emcees right now.

If it's in order, I'd switch Elzhi and Lupe's spots, and Ross and Gibbs' spots.

[Colilluminati]

Lil Uzi Vert
21 Savage
lil boat
Young Thug

And the rest of the long list of garbage rappers are being forced on hip hop by these cac publications and labels to make us think this is what's hot .


Then they say hey Chance the rapper is the headline we should listen to him too with his message of hope



I'm so glad Kid Cudi was the last homo rapper to take a spot in my heart .

This isn't lyricism to me.

Rappers y'all hate like 2 chainz, Future, Thugga out perform these bars all the time

EDIT: and Im one of the biggest Cole fans here so don't start claiming someone is hating
