It was invented in the minds of hating ass old nikkas, out of touch with culture and lingo...

Was just havin this discussion last night with some of the homies...

N I maintain Future is the founding father of mumble rap

I wanna know how nikkaz in this thread keep sayin wayne, gucci n keef?

Wayne did slur some words on some records but you could always understand him, not mumble rap at all

Keef didnt start mumbling till after he dropped his debut album on interscope, he was rappin very clear early on

Gucci just has a problem pronunciating certain words, cuz of a birth deffect he not mumblin on purpose

Wayne's verse on I can't believe it or Me N My Drank predate Future's mumble rap run.

Do muthafukkas really not know what it means to mumble? Mumble aint some made up word...it has an actual definition. I see people arguing Das EFX as mumble rap...they didn't mumble a damn line...

nikkas in here including old school songs with slang unique to certain artists as "mumble rap" :mjlol:

Stream of consciousness and/or a narrative you can't grasp is not the same as listening to someone and not understanding the words that are coming out of his mouth.

Well I got some ideals, and Lil Wayne definitely was one of the forefathers but I want to hear from you before I share my thought :jbhmm:

With that said, Who do you think made mumble rap and why is it taking over modern hiphop? Let's do a deep dive on this, shall we...

Wack ass thread. There is no such thing as mumble rap, just soft corny old nikkas that don't know enough black people to keep up with the lingo

Yes there is, maybe the term can be debated but mumble rap is rap that consists on emphasis on harmony instead of lyrics.

kid cudi was the blueprint for mumble
I agree, him and Max B for sure. No question!

Listen to this


That's not mumbling, all that non-sense rhyming? I don't understand most of the words.

Slang and non-sense rhyming that some old rappers did is not necessarily mumble rap but it is something that predates it showing that there is nothing new under the sun imo. It's pretty much set the stage for mumble rapping's inception if you ask me.

Everything starts somewhere.

If it wasn't for Jomo cock blocking Bigavelli's career we would of got the next 2PAC > DMX > 50 Cent > ?

Max B was next up to fill that void and he emcee'd properly, so don't try it with that one. :camby::ufdup:
