nowadays in rap the only actual talents you need is a good ear, swag, a good voice and trendy delivery, and the ability to write hooks. But what about the actual rapping skills?
I just named 5 skills needed to be good at hip hop tho. If a rapper is missing one and great at the others he will get a pass. Same way a lot of dudes are trash at those 5 skills and is great at rapping and he get a pass from his fans

Writing hooks is a skill
Flow is a skill
Good ear is a skill
Voice is natural born

And if u swaggerless this hopskin u just swaggerless, don't get mad at us

Flow is a skill - Reference tracks provide the Flow
Writing hooks is a skill - Most rappers dont write there own hooks, all the way from rappity rap dudes like Nas to singing hook masters like Drake
Good Ear - Many but not Most rappers dont actually pick their beats, the producer makes the beat, the 'executive producer' picks the beats, the label picks the singles
Voice - I dont know if i have heard Young Thug or Future or Rich Homie Quan real voice yet, plus most 'voice' you hear even when not heavily distorted is heavily tweaked... PLUS some of the biggest names in rap are known to have 'bad' voices that just grew on folks cause it was always on the radio, drake is known to have a very nasal canadian sounding rap voice and a weak singing voice, amount of jokes on lil Wayne's voice is legendary...

try again h omie

Hopsin hate aside, is he wrong?

:ld:

I feel this way too. Breh spoke a lot of facts. A lot of the rap industry today, especially radio, is filled with unoriginal and untalented clowns. We still have a lot of great rappers but too many weak ones are blowing up. The craft was been downgraded to just turning up and making money. There aint no culture to this.
that parody trap song is the truth

Hopsin the type of dude to perform at warped tour....

Hopsin is so antagonizing and grating that I could never agree with him. It doesn't help that none of the 'real shyt' he's always going on about have been brought up numerous times in the past.
