Pet peeves from your favorite rappers

[AMcV'88]

when the great beat-pickers (Ghostface, Cam, 50) start picking beats that sound like poor imitations of old beats they rapped on.
thats when the washed era has well and truly been ushered in.

it used to really bug me when Budden used to do that strained voice thing to put emphasis on words on his emotional joints.

Max B never mixing and mastering his music and recording it on a potato

you probably remember that he was recording those classics on a computer in a Bronx project apartment with no furniture
all the while drinking and smoking himself into a stupor

shyt, the fact that what we got was so great despite these problems is a blessing

Yams was hiding some beats cd's from Duke Da God's office and taking them to him at times, Karen Civil would also do some shyt for him on the side

Why did Joe always say "fukk" like that when he was angry on his records?

It's like he says "FDDJYUCK". Is this a Jersey thing?

When Cam basically became a parody of himself. Still hate Cam dumbed himself all the way down and was still successful. Basically reinforced that he didn’t have to try much anymore.

1. Andre 3000 taking a million light-years to put out a album. Just put it out for your fans and stop being a diva. Big Boi ain't tripping on sales like that.


2. Cardi B taking long to drop a sophomore album. A perfect time would have been when WAP dropped. In this era, girls look up to her.


3. Nas' The Lost Tapes 2 was kinda disappointing. I know he had better songs in the vaults to use.

4. Cat instigating and living their fantasies through the Lil Durk vs YB beef taking sides. I was in the work vehicle playing a Quando Rondo song and this fat nikka fukked up the vibe said "Fukk him, he killed my homie". I told that nikka that Durk and Von wouldn't know you from a Can of Paint so STFU with your funky ass and listen to the music.

Ross hasn't done the "HUNGH" adlib in like 9 years & doesn't spit the braggadocious ducktale cocaine raps like he did from 09-13

Jeezy stopped doing all the adlibs & ran away from the Shawty Redd/D. Rich/Drumma Boy production tryna be more grown & sexy

nikkas took the fun out of their raps tryna be like Jay-Z

Jeezy rapping on some Lil Lody beats was hilariously funny...




Jay-Z showed street nikkas how to go legit and not caught.


Plus, he's the best example of a rapper acting their age.

 

[Budda]

Nas not promoting some of his work

Nas not doing videos for songs which could have been obvious hits or at least popular.

Not doing features on certain popular artists classic tracks albums which could have boosted his legacy popularity wise, Drake Biggie Lauryn Hill etc.

Waka and his stank puss Mom deeboing OJ out of spot....


I like Flocka's stuff but that was a fukk nikka move right there.


Rappers going Pro Black after their careers went down aka following the trend.


T.I is one of them. Jay should too.


Nas always had some consciousness in his stuff sprinkled with cautionary tales. David Banner.

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Curren$y rapping so dazed the end of the first bar leaks into the next. I love spitta but that shyt can get annoying ad nauseam

Breh wont nobody trying to listen to Oj high pitched ass voice for multiple mixtapes. Stop it.

 

[Thief's Theme]

Jay-z's whisper flow

Nas adlibs/ talking before the song - a lot of them are cheesy when his verses are prolific

rappers with too many alias - Styles for example: Holiday, Pinero, The Ghost, etc.

 

[Metal Face]

Nas: singles selection

 

[VBM]

DJ Paul and Juicy J's infatuation with linking with meh/corny white rappers (Yelawolf, Stitches, etc.)

No shots fired at ICP though, @Juggalo Fred

 

[Redwood]

Already mentioned but Jay talking about 88

 

[ABlackMan]

Then had the nerve to use AAVE

THE NERVE!
