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

[International Playa]

@International Playa y u negged me for this ; are u dumb

Sorry breh, Kurupt one of my fav rappers. Cormega had some nice features back in the day.

Had me heated for a moment

 

[Ol’Otis]

Lil boosie

I feel like his popularity is an ongoing joke

Odd Future. All of them except frank ocean. They could all rap okay but musically never did anything for me. I heard Tyler’s albums keep getting better but I’m just not interested. And even Frank I think is cool but not top 5 album shyt that people put him on.

Wale. He has a few songs that i like but people back in the day put him on the same level as Drake and kid cudi. Don’t work for me

Never like onyx like that either. They had a record or two that I didn’t mind but was not a fan. Then when 6ix9ine came out sounded like them but 400 times worse made me dislike them more

I agree with all of this.

Odd Future were always more interesting to me as a concept rather than as an actual music group that I'd listen to. I thought Tyler was super edgy and that Frank Ocean was a twink that loved to troll.

The only ones I could listen to from the collective were The Internet with Sid. The rest of the crew besides them were forgettable.

Frank's albums are all over the place to me. I deadass only like 4 of his songs (Nights, Lost, Forrest Gump & Novacane). At the same time, those 4 are some of my favorite songs across all genres.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Willie D

Nobody thought Willie d was a dope rapper

 

[Ol’Otis]

Novacane

He wrote about Having sex with a man for the first time

 

[HabitualChiller]

We sure that wasn't about a woman? "Model broad with a hollywood smile"...

I'm the exact opposite. I couldn't stand the entire crew but since have grown to like all of them (except Earl and I don't get how anyone likes his stuff). I'm not a superfan of Frank's but I like his stuff more than The Internet who legit got like 6 songs I really rock with. On the flip, I love Matt Martians music more than anyone from the group.

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

Nipsey Hustle. I get it he’s the community’s golden child but outside a couple of tracks his discography is pretty mid imo. Most LA natives I’ve met only knew him through his community outreach. Never liked Cam’ron or the diplomats they’ve always been wack to me. Boosie is a one hit wonder in my eyes, dude is garbage

 

[JoelB]

Masta Ace
Fabolous
J.Cole
Too Short
Chamillionaire

 

[KFBF]

Ghostface
Meth & Red

 

[straightcash]

Meek Mill is the obvious answer.
People treated him like he was extraordinary, but he wasn't.
Then he stayed blackballing every other Philly street rapper for a decade straight.

 

[Ol’Otis]

We sure that wasn't about a woman? "Model broad with a hollywood smile"...

He like white male models with feminine features

 

[I'm Blackman]

All the below and add Drake......Big Pun......Fat Joe........Prodigy solo( I like mobb deep but P solo is boring to me).....mf doom...biting ass action bronson

Lloyd Banks

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

Jim Jones

With Cam’ron I can at least understand that he’s charismatic but the fact Jim Jones had ANY type of successful solo career is baffling to me.

Big Pun, Big L

Banks came out during that mixtape punchline rapper era, which at that time was perfect for him.

For me, it's Fabolous

Do always just came off as a poor man's Jay z to me.

Oh another one was Mos Def. Again I thought his shyt was straight but just not some super amazing pure hip-hop shyt that others hyped him to be.

Not sure if Future counts but he's another one I just don't get the hype for.

Beastie boys

Noreaga.

Can’t do it. Never understood the hype and I turn 38 this year.

Meek Mill is the obvious answer.
People treated him like he was extraordinary, but he wasn't.
Then he stayed blackballing every other street rapper from Philly for a decade straight.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Doggy's Angels

 

[shroommon]

Nas.

It funny seeing so many people on this sub say Cole is boring but prop up boring ass Nas
