Every new spitter that come out y'all gonna say the same shyt "oh bu bu but the old nikkas was saying it better" :shaq2:

*Insert generic 2000's mixtape rapper was better :mjlol:

Dave East a good rapper, he got messages in his music, he got pain in his music, he got a story. He's not a perfect rapper but he can spit and has a lot of good music out.


hope you aint saying Cain and Stack is generic:picard:?I dont know if you honestly ever heard a pain rap:martin:

and no I dont do that,but I aint gon lie either if old nikkas was saying it better:sas2:....theres a reason even the :flabbynsick: version of those "old nikkas" is still able to outshine Dave East and show why he dont belong in prime time yet:wow:

Dude has a very clear lane but it seems like he doesn't know what the fukk to do with it. And Def Jam is straight clueless so you can't count on them to steer him in the right direction.

This is really what it all boils down to

Y'all clowns commenting in the thread ain't even watch the video. He didn't even say nikkas is hating on him because of his "looks." Y'all nikkas just here what y'all wanna hear.

And for those of y'all calling him wack, yeah, Dave East isn't the most amazing lyricist, but he's a good lyricist that knows how to tell a story, has a good ear for beats, and most importantly, makes good music, all while keeping that NY authenticity.

It's okay, not every rapper has to be the next Nas. He's better than most of the trash out right now.


i tried to point that out,his fans is the ones mostly on defense,looking delusional:pachaha:

HIs fans repeating nonsense he didnt even say,he never said rap fans hated on his music because of his looks.

This generation wants to have it both ways.... they want old heads to give them cultural legitimacy, but they don't want to put the work into their craft to earn it

Then when you tell them they're not there yet.... you're "hating". Good luck Dave!

His problem is he doesn't look like a street rapper. He needs to make records for the bytches but he probably can't pull it off convincingly. He need to holla at Fabolous and ask him how he straddled that line between street shyt and R&B records so easily. That's his lane. This trying to be a full on street nikka ain't gonna work.
