I would say no because modern hiphoppers dont care about realness to the degree old school hiphoppers do. How many thug rappers are out there eating? Only Ross is eating and we know that he isnt gonna be out there thuging in the streets so its only a persona or alter ego. When Ti,Wayne and Gucci went to jail their careers suffered irreparable damage which tells you that people dont care whether guys lyrics are lived out despite what record companies try to push. Plus the most popular rapper of the moment is proud of being from a middle class background

So the view of hiphop from the OP is very dated.

which i think was the point.
I'm loath to call what's out today hip hop, it really does a disservice to what the old school represented and even accomplished.

That's why i call it rap. :manny:

Of course a few semi-conscious and too weak to be considered thugs (tho they try) rappers have sold a lot of records, but the original point is true.

Mostly the ignorant, sociologically damaging, artists get the marketing and attention.

It's difficult to explain the truth about it to a c0on, out of touch, or brainwash person because for the most part a true hiphophead can feel and hear the difference.

Man fukk this shyt. Whites can have a million violent tv shows SOA, Soprano's (biker gangs and Mafia) have renegade androids become the govener, have musicians who bite heads off of bats and doves and shyt, and the world could give a fukk. A lil 17 yr old nikka gets his shyt together, talks about what he sees in his city, shows guns in his video (pretty fukkin Anerican to me) and y'all crying bout the death of hip hop and black culture and all this off the wall shyt...nikka that is hip hop, and the fukkin American dream. Let a youngin's get his money legally before he goes back to the illegal route. If u find hip hop is no longer relevant to u and ur life, fukk it, move on. Start a quilting club or something man...If u really feel like your culture has been jack or bamboozled than take a deep breath, look at yourself in the mirror and point the finger directly at YOU. You didn't support the art, you didn't go to the shows, and you probably don't care about your favorite rapper like u claim. Hip hop is more than Chief Queef, or who ever is popping. fukk hip hop is bigger than rap, but you only talk about the rapper. Real heads know. You live this shyt and can't no fukking magazine, no teen rapper, no biased ass reporter can take that from u.

J. cole
Lupe

Drake

This writer is in the United Kingdom (or am I wrong ?) :heh:
Who gives a fvck what he thinks ?
What could he possibly know about an American ghetto ?

you must not have checked very hard. Drake is the only platinum selling artist you named. And I wouldn't describe him as "intelligent and skillful"

What the hell are you talking about ?

First of all :
Drake is ten times the artist "Chief Keef" is.
He's more intelligent in a musical capacity than chief keef is in my
opinion.

Second :
You're wrong.

Chief Keef? :mindblown: Comparing Drake to a worse rapper doesn't make him intelligent. Try again.

Platinum singles? With digital sales virtually every radio hit goes platinum. Article is talking about album sales. No one goes around calling someone a platinum artist for selling 99 cent mp3s on itunes.

Drake is pure pop. Sometimes I can't believe he has so much respect from the streets.

I was in my hometown when his first album dropped, and I heard really gangsta-ass thugged-out Blacks and Latinos blasting that guys album when I was out driving around town.

Same thing happened with "Get Rich or Die Trying"--every car was blasting that album.

And that's what this is really about. it's the streets that set the trends. They determine what is cool in Hip-Hop. The suburban kids just simply follow suit. The streets were NEVER into the conscious or underground hip-hop sound. That has always been a skater/hipster thing--at least on the West Coast.

:youngsabo:

Is this thread NOT about Chief Keef ?
Also how do you accurately measure a rappers intelligence through their music?
As a matter of fact, I didn't even mention it in my first post.
So I won't even continue to discuss this topic about Drake being intelligent.

Their platinum plaques would mean they're platinum artists.
You said they weren't platinum artists now you back pedaling. :usure:
:huhldup: pardon me I had to laugh at that :laff:

Take the L bruh.
:smh:
Even if they haven't sold more albums than Drake, they've still
had ten times the success of Sosa and his ilk, the Lil B's, Kreayshawns, Gucci's
aren't selling sh1t in comparison to these rappers.
You got one doing 3,000 first week word to Kreayshawn :laugh:

I'm just gonna say this in advance, I most likely won't reply.

No, the thread is about the lack of intelligent and skillful rappers in mainstream hip hop. You can't use a wack rapper to prove someone else has intelligent music. You Get it? Its like me trying to say Lil Wayne is an intelligent rapper because he isn't as dumb as Gucci Mane.

We're not talking about their IQ here. We're talking about their intelligence AS rappers. That is something that is shown through the music they put out. And what do you mean you didn't mention it? You specifically brought up those names because the OP is talking about lack of intelligent rappers.

Their platinum plaques would mean they're platinum artists.

You and I both know the article is talking about album sales. You're trying to get away on a technicality. Except according to you, everyone is a platinum artist.

Lil B isn't a mainstream rapper. He has a cult following on the internet. Kreayshawn did have a hit, but that was well over a year ago. Lets talk about the rappers that are actually getting attention. The Nicki Minajs, the Lil Waynes, the Drakes, the Rick Rosses, the Tygas, the 2 Chainz. They far outnumber the Lupe Fiascos or any other mainstream rappers considered intelligent.

I'm just gonna say this in advance, I most likely won't reply.

That's called "taking your L" in advance.
