Rappers gotta chill on the jewelry/money talk...

[Harry B]

A lot of people need to chill on it, but most of them just need to be fresh and original about it.

And every song is not there for you to relate too, some are there for imagination like a movie. Sorta like Wu-tang clan, Eminem or Redman. No one complained about what they did cause they did it so fresh and original, but not a single person (including themselves) could relate to half of their classics. While Wu-tang mostly had obscure references to real live shyt, but you get the point.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

To ur point, slick rick had a diversity of subjects....if u didnt like his materalistic raps, all u had to do was skip one or two songs. Most cats rap about balllin/hedonistic sht 99% of the time.

What's wrong with a rapper talkin about ballin?

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Ballin is cool, but it cant be the subject matter for an entire album, unless u Birdman

Drake got the perfect balance imo

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

What's wrong with a rapper talkin about ballin?

they expect rappers flooded in jewelry, making more in one show than most people do in a year, who make Forbes lists.... to rap about lives they havent lived in years.

" why he only rap about getting high,partying,fukking hoes and ballin"

*logs onto instagram,twitter and youtube to see this same rapper getting high, spending insane amounts of cash, bad bytches and him in the club*

"he rap about unrealistic shyt too much, why don't he rap about keeping less than 7.99 in your checking account so Netflix can't automatically take it out "

Ice cream and fried chicken are great, but if u ate that meal after meal, 99% of the time, then its a problem.

Ur so simpleminded...so because a rapper has money, their thoughts shouldnt travel beyond the most basic of concepts and interests? You sound like a groupie: "they're rich!! Of course thats all they should rap about." Imagine if all musical artists in history shared that mindet, lol. Btw, its not a coincidence that the biggest artist to emerge in years, kendrick, has a decidedly broad range of interests and topics....but go ahead, keep enabling ur braindead fav artists, to keep making braindead music

No, you're an entitled nikka who thinks every rapper NEEDS to rap about shyt you wanna hear.people like you, fail to understand that music isn't catered to just you.

How entitled of a listener can you be, to think you have the right to tell rappers what they should be rapping about?


The Biggest artist to emerge in years... in any Genre is Lady Gaga.....and she aint singing about shyt... so out the window your Kendrick reasoning goes

 

[cheek100]

i like when nikkaz talk that shyt.. wouldnt give a rats ass how much the average rap fan makes.. only suburban pussies get offended about nikkaz braggin bout having paper.. meanwhile cats in the hood hear that shyt and forget lifes hard
...even if only for a few minutes

 

[LucaBrasi]

It's not possible.

you sound like somebody who doesn't know how the internet works.

name ONE relatively popular rapper who's album never leaked, and has never had any of their music illegally downloaded.

Watch the Throne never leaked...

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Watch the Throne never leaked...

it did leak, it just didn't leak in the normal time that albums usually leak in.

we had links to that shyt, about an hour before it came out.

trust me breh. cause i downloaded it just to hate on Jay

Album got released August 8th, had it about an hour before that

I know how the internet works... and there are ways u can have your music not downloaded, But the government in 1998 refuse to listen to a man name nick lansman who gave talks to microsoft about safe guarding there important material so it don't get copyrighted, But Congress as always refuse to listen to him just as the government refuse to listen to threats about al-quaida but that's a whole different story..

anything possible if the government and record executives really gave a fuk.

One hour breh? C'mon that ain't really a leak, and I know cuz I was in on the feast

My point is if more rappers did something like Kanye & Hov did their losses due to the leak prolly won't be as big

Like ASAP album by the time the retail came out most people had already gone on to enjoy something else.

Not really. I like some trap, i love hyphy, and when it comes to partying I fcks w a lot of pop rap, i was just challenging ur ridiculous idea that because a rapper is "rich" then he should only rap about the simplest of materalistic desires. Ur problem is u think the modern mainstream rapper, and his repetitive bullchit, is above criticsm, and that if one doesnt accept a non stop loop of aston martins, dime hoes in the club, and jewelry rap, then were just broke, bitter, losers, which is the exact type groupie mindset which has rap enjoying less popularity in recent years. Thats why i analogized pop rap with junk food....both have their place, but if thats all u mess with then its unhealthy.

Btw, i was talking about rap artists....i dont give a fck about a lady gaga.

Yeah, there are way to have your music not able to be downloaded.... it's called, "never making it available to reach the internet, or customers".

ANY media put on the internet, no matter the safeguards... is able to be pirated and shared for free.

You point isn't the reality of rap tho... Leaking music has saved careers, Look at Ross... dude was dead in the water, then he leaks Mafia Music.

a leaked album could give you the buzz right before a release that your one or two weak singles couldn't give you.

People who were gonna shell out the money for the album, will still do it..and never stopped doing it.
