Yeah Joel Ortizz or Lupe responding and they not even concerned
But rappers suddenly being concerned, trying to milk off this (I've seen a Tyga's tweet where dude was like "I freestyled my last two albums, well, now I will seriously reconsider writing again"
) means that it is an important moment (I'm not saying it's classic track though
).
It's all relative but it's like "A milli" wave where everybody freestyled on, the Sean Paul/Ragga-rap crossovers wave, the Lil Jon wave, the trap wave. I think rap nowadays have seasons and everybody hops on the season's trend, well it may be just another wave/season, but I'd rather hear rappers back at writing/spitting (or even trying) that rappers still wanting banger/club hits. It's tiring at the end.
That's why I'm saying it could be a spark for a lyricism revival (may not be, future will tell us), and that could be refreshening honestly. I quitted listening to rap regularly when I realized the southern wave was not a wave but here to stay. From time to time there's a good rap artist or a rap song that I like but mostly I'm disgusted by what's aired these days.
Anyway, can we talk about Kendrick calling Jay Elec and Pusha new nikkas ? These dudes both 36 (for real) and been around for years now.
That's sad I agree. But that's the state of rap now.
