"The Real rapper" gimmick

[blackslash]

Your fukking stupid, Lil B gets your respect for acting like a dumb ass nikka? Dumb shyt is widely accepted in 2012, aint nothing brave about making garbage music on purpose.

Hey lets get this out of the way...I despise Lil B and his music but he breaks more of the barriers with his style of music and his character.

Jus saying, but we're straying away from the discussion..im jus saying the "real rapper gimmick" is being overused abused and if you are an up and coming artist on this board, leave that attitude and that martyr complex out the door

ya this is garbage gimmick

Really when I wrote this I had underground local artists in mind that I know who abuse this gimmick to death

But a popular rapper that fits into this I guess would be Lupe...in an indirect sense.

im not a lupe fan, but i can't recall him really being on that "bring real hip hop back" type of demo

he's more like a fake ass revolutionary/rebel type rapper if anything

When has Lupe ever been on a real hip hop shtick? nikkas just hate on him without knowing wtf they talking about

The funny thing is rappers abuse this gimmick then complain about being put in a box for being backpack

meh maybe i was wrong, but like I said it wasnt the more popular rappers that were on my mind when i made this thread...

most of them don't come out right and say "i'm bringing real hip-hop back" but you can tell they're are playing to that image for that fanbase.

the worst are the ones that try and rap over some dusty golden era ny 90's style beats and it just comes off as forced and not genuine.

Jon Connor and Tito Lopez are guilty of this. Chuuwee too I guess. Only people I can think of right now
