Pretentious Swag Rap Is The Worst Sub Genre Since Snap Music

[NV-ME]

I get that...I know the days of My Adidas are long gone (because who wants to rap about something that everyone in the hood can afford or relate to?)

Or old Wayne sayin "I pull up in an Exhibition" is probably laughable now because my uncle that runs a landscaping business has one too..And fukk that n1gga...



I get that it's all about reaching the next level of exclusivity for the purpose of flawsin...But it's almost reached Chapelle Show MTV Cribs level of parody now... (without any sense of irony)

i get it dude. there's got to be a balance though. im prolly the most fashion aware dude in my crew, but there's a difference w/ being aware of and consumed w/ the shyt. one of my boys cuffed a damn raf simmons sweatshirt and a ysl tie from my house and more than the "borrowing" im 'scusted that he took them shyts because he heard asap rocky (had it before i heard the mixtape) and kanye mention them shyts. this fukkin luxury rap is breeding hipster zombie meatheads

Meanwhile.....back in 1976.......

Parliament-Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection (1976) - YouTube

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

​

What those guys were saying was innovative at the time and what they were doing was sonically grounbreaking...


I'm talking about the dudes that wanna dress like Andre 3000, but don't want to think, work and write like him...It's lazy imo...

Rocky wears the most horrible fukkin outfits sometimes. He's trying to create his own "style" and failing miserably almost every step of the way.

Yeah it's not all about the clothes to me at all...If you're dope, original and creative I don't care what you wear..

It's the mentality that you can put zero effort into the words you say and try to mask that with side show theater and flamboyance.. I don't care if you dress like a runway model if you have something to say...I really don't...

You know...Where the subject matter is money, clothes, liquor, drugs and hoes just like 90% of all post Death Row hip hop...But the twist is they do it with abstract art placement and homosexual clothing...

This whole Andy Warhol meets Ma$e cornball weirdo sh1t needs to run its course asap...

Why do you substitute your "th's" with "d's"

Are you a white kid trying to mock or immulate poor Black people?

Or was your mother a crack addict?
