The Lil Yachty Interview on Everyday Struggle PROVES why the culture aint been NOTHIN but DOWNHILL..

[O.Red]

Kanye didn't pioneer any "emo" wave.
And labeling him as that is just incorrect.

He's a former backpack rapper who poorly straddled the line between having something to real to relate and bragging about the next big purchase.


He's now way more of the latter and less of the former.

You say that like 808s ain't one of the most depressing albums ever created

What's wrong with Cudi ?

I think Ye nd Kudi are actually talented.... Kudi music isnt my lane but I respect it. The point was...once they started lettin emo nggas like him in the first place nd he became successful...shyt was only gonna go TOO far left.

Expressing emotion or depicting something depressing does not make one "Emo".

 

[O.Red]

lol you guys blame the nerds but ignore when people like raekwon, styles p, foreign exchange, run the jewels etc drop albums

Don't even bother breh nikkas just want to bytch

This thread is therapy

Hiphop is in its faggofied shallow "hair metal" stage and im loving it. A culture that championed fashionable thugs who entertained alot of "closet play" ends up following the perversion into oblivion.

Thousands of genius black artist have been brushed aside by black culture to make way for degenerate bullshyt.

There was nothing more hair metal than the Jiggy era

Uh...yeah any fukking artist...that wanna sell records, put women at the forefront...

Who the fukk goes to the concerts...

Who buys the records...

It ain't dudes...markets...especially entertainment markets...are ran by women.

If women don't like it, shyt ain't gonna sell....

It's mostly white dudes that goes to their concerts because they got money to burn. With buying records, I'm 75% sure women just buy the hit singles and stream it on Itunes or Spotify

Emo-tional

 

[True Sinister]

Lil yachty is just the soulja Boy/kwame of the current time.

I don't listen to any of his music but I don't see a reason to hate him.

When you say "emo" , do you mean "too emotional" or "Not gangsta" ? Remember Hip-Hop , as a Genre , is an umbrella for many types of sounds and styles. Gangster Rap will always have a lane to follow and been doing the same shyt for years. (I'll admit it's less aggressive than the 90's, but I think there was a socio economic factors to it ) But even with gangsta rap in the 90's, the few rappers that I'd say were pretty close to emo was Scarface and 2Pac. They always rap about depressing shyt. The only difference is that rappers post-Cudi with little to no gangsta appeal

Tf y'all nikkas blaming women for hip hop "dying " , y'all nikkas really something else..

These nikkas is gay. Never heard no bullshyt like that outside the coli

 

[Prince Mongo]

You think Pac had women taste in his mind when he made Thug Life and me Against the World ?

There is a reason why the biggest musicians and song writers are males.

Hip-Hop gave too much importance to women. Hip-Hop turned into a big Love and Hip-Hop, so you have this mess.

This is the most homo opinion on rap ever

Nikkas blaming everything but themselves

 

[Jahmal]

Canibus opened the floodgate for the Nerds

 

[Mensch Fontana]

We really discussing the merits of a southern rapper?

Emo-tional

If expressing emotion makes a rapper emo, then all of Hip-Hop is emo.
It's a pretty bad description of Kanye or more specifically backpack rappers.
