Rappers from Previous Generarion You Don’t Get The Hype of

[AQz]

Good thread idea
Honestly I could never really fukk with Outkast no matter how hard I tried

Came in here to post Outkast. I tried and tried. Just not feeling it

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Drake

Biggie

Jay z

The thought of all those beats that were wasted on that nikka instead of someone like method man

All the below and add Drake

Obviously I get why they're hyped, but they all seemed overhyped to me. Like they could have been just great rappers rather than people calling them the greatest rappers of their generation, but it seemed like they all got a commercial/collaboration push that made them into more than they were.

Beastie boys

Beastie Boys
Just a Jewish ripoff of Run DMC.

People always bring up their name like they built Hip Hop or something, when they were literally the first culture vultures.

They were a Punk band that basically flopped, then they saw Hip Hop and how it was building a new lane, and immediately jumped on it and ran with it.

Beastie Boys

Beastie Boys - Once you get past the gimmick of them being the first white rappers in a black space, you soon realize that even by mid 80's standards they were weak rappers with annoying voices

I don't know how anyone fails to realize that on the first listen.






This is the most polished they got and it still sounds like some shyt you'd hear at a college open mic night in the 1990s where you're just desperately hoping it would end soon.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Too Short

Never understood the appeal

I swear to god.. in the 90s it was knee jerk reaction for east coast nikkas to hate Short. I always attributed it to their dry dikks and cobweb cocks.

 

[Abdi]

Lloyd Banks

nikkas act like he’s seriously the second coming but I never got what was supposed to be so special about him.

watch it breh

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Divine Styler

Jay-Z (more mid albums than good ones.. just boring overall)

RBX

EL-P (good producer... terrible off beat rapper)

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Boosie. He cool but I always thought Webbie was the better artist

Sounds like you don’t really listen to Boosie. Before prison, dude made a lot of songs with unlimited subject matter. Yeah Webbie flow harder than Boosie, but be for real that dude is one dimensional with his subject matter.

 

[ISO]

Little Brother first two albums is cool but Phonte ain’t that nice to me or at least to the pedestal he’s put at.

 

[HabitualChiller]

Kendrick Lamar outside of GKMC or when he decides to turn up (Euphoria, DNA, etc.)

In general, pro-black rappers do nothing for me because it's essentially like rapping to the wall. Their words aren't changing anything.

 

[bnew]

E40

 

[Peak]

Yeah I’d rather listen to Pro Era if I want that type of music

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Let me throw in Pusha T also

Jadakiss - bar the Beans battle i never bought into the Jada bandwagon. To me Styles>Jada by a rather large margin.
Sean Price - to me there are two versions of Tawl Sean; Ruck/Sean P and Sean Price. I way prefer the former. Ruck seemed way more technically astute with wit to Price who felt like he was just relying on wit in his new style.
Goodie Mob - should have been Ceelo and Gipp. The other nikkas fukked up the flow.

 

[RammerJammer]

Boosie. He cool but I always thought Webbie was the better artist

Savage Life better than any Boosie project

 

[jensyao]

wtf is a generarion?

omarion's cousin, pleighboi

Jadakiss Versuz Camron proved Jadakiss is a lyrical beast. Problem with Jada he's not a good songwriter but he's got bars.
