Pretentious Swag Rap Is The Worst Sub Genre Since Snap Music

[Ginger]

really the point im trying to make is that its ok for one segment of the youth to dress outside of the norm (WHITE) while when another segment does the same thing its looked down upon(BLACK). On the one hand its fine for people to wear extra extra small clothing, skinny jeans etc, so why is it not just as ok for someone to wear not 4xl and jeans to the knees, but 3xl (ie cant see your heart beating and shyt) and somewhat sagging jeans?

Nothing is wrong with blacks dressing outside of the norm. Just make sure you are doing it because you are being true to yourself and not because you want to follow a fake trend or pretend to be something you are not.

Cudi is true to himself. Asap and a bunch of these others are just posers.

A lot of nikkas are wearing costumes but don't have a lot of substance behind that image

Change the title of the thread to THAT since THAT is what this thread is about.

A great example of my point is PM Dawn. If you saw them approach a stage for the 1st time and never heard their music you wouldn't expect them to have the same content in their music as the 2 Live Crew right?

Let me to break this down in layman's terms...Let's say artistic creativity is a pie chart.. A lot of these artists are using 90% on the visual and 10% on the audio...I just hope a time is coming where that's flipped around...

It's almost like rap is in its hair metal band era... A lot of nikkas are wearing costumes but don't have a lot of substance behind that image...You had groups like Poison and Cinderella that were all about the presentation of metal hair and make up but made cookie cutter pop music...Then you had a group like Metallica that just wore Levis and black tees and was making classic original music...

then they cut their hair and the hardcore metal heads called them sellouts despite the fact that their music never changed.

Real recognizes real.....that's all I'm gonna say.

His image should be on par with his lyrical content, but it's not.

You call that swag rap, I call it fruit rap

I do too...


(But that's cuz i'm usually eating an apple while bumping it).

.dressing like Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid

That nikka chris breezy done stole liquid snakes whole fukking style b

When you see a nikka dressing in a Kilt and some Uggs you don't expect that nikka to rap about how many hoes he fukk and how much his watch costs. You'd expect that nikkas content to be outside the box since his physical presentation is as such. You don't expect him to rap about shyt your local "Goon" would be infatuated with like materialism and sexism.

:smugYe:
so are you saying wouldn't have a problem with Asap Rocky rocking an oversized ann demeulemeester tank, kilts and shyt if he dropped some next level Aquemini type shyt!?

Yep I remember.. Was just having that discussion with a friend a few weeks ago...

:terry:

So when YOUR expectations =/= reality, regardless of how silly your expectations are, this is a lack of substance? Get the fukk outta here.

lol @ the notion that any nikka wouldn't rap about fukkin hoes. lmao @ the notion that someone on some left field fashion shyt wouldn't rap about material shyt.

go head old nikkas. go head

Once again. If you went to a concert of your fav faq/swag artist and they had an opening act you never heard of before. If they hit the stage dressed like PM Dawn you know damn well you wouldn't expect them to rap about the same content Juvenile was rapping about on 400 Degreez.

When nikkas seen Andre 3K in that weird shyt they accepted it because the nikka was introspective. He refused to rap on "Popping Tags" because he didn't see the purpose of doing a song about simplistic materialism. He's accepted because his content is outside of the box. When he dressed like the average street nikka his content matched that.
