Larry June - positivity and some playa shyt
JID - rappity rap
Smino - smooth grooves/jazz fusion
buddy - everyday guy and some funk
Denzel Curry - literally went from being negative and to living positively and hollering about enlightenment

That’s just who’s in my wheelhouse. Y’all stuck on negativity are captive to the mainstream
Could we add Joey Badass to this list ?

Kendrick last album was too mature for the generic public. But he’s a perfect example of hip hop done right. He grew up around Westside Pirus and could easily sell that image but he doesn’t.

I liked section 80 & to pimp a butterfly, this Kendrick song might be one of favorites and gives me a calming vibe while listening to it.

It's been dark energy since gangsta rap blew up. Glorified misogyny and violence. Remember when pimping was a trend? Literally forcing women to suck and fukk for money while dudes laughed, took the money and kept their pimp hand strong. :manny:

Kenny out here trying to get a lame out the paint. I think it's the best moment hip hop has had since Jay and Nas released Blueprint and Stillmatic.
Dey gon act like u lying tho.
