Unpopular opinions hip hop

[Mike Wins]

Explain to me what was so great about Biggie

GOAT flow
Top 5 storyteller
Elite lyricist, not in a rappity rap lyrical miracle way but far as clarity, visual nature of rhymes, underrated wordplay, ability to connect and communicate with the audience
Effortless charisma and sense of humor

That enough?

People (this forum) hate on Eminem because he is white and use his dwindling quality of output as an excuse for what is racism.

bigotry, not racism

Tupac & Biggie wouldn't be held in such high regard if they were alive and are overrated massively due to being dead.

Jay Z & Nas also massively overrated.]

A rapper can be a grade A violent, despicable c*nt but because he is 'in Jail' the system is at fault and not the rapper. Thus giving birth to 'Free (insert rapper name here)' even though they are deservedly in jail for a crime that warrants it.

Greatest and best are not synonymous but they're used like they are. And you can't be one of the greatest of all-time if nobody cared about your music. You can be one of the best though.

Which artists this in reference to?

 

[MBwithadream]

Gatekeeper of what?

Blacks

Have you not heard Ready to Die? His tone, the pockets he would hit, his storytelling, everything that’s great about rap he did it on that album. If you graded rap like sports and graded everything on a 1-5 scale, he would’ve had 5’s on everything. Only thing I didn’t like was how overly sexual some of that shyt was

nikkas is just dumb.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

I think Boosie a gatekeeper.


I think Atlantic has insurance policies on their rappers.


I think you be a fool to be a rapper in a mainstream record company.

Insane Clown Posse are the best rappers ever

It's Almost Dry>Daytona

Its strange because I see your point and can't really argue against any of it but he just seems vastly over rated to me. I'm just hardly ever in a mood to ever listen to him

Have you not heard Ready to Die? His tone, the pockets he would hit, his storytelling, everything that’s great about rap he did it on that album.

Yeah I have heard it. I don't revisit it much because I'm not interested in hearing about guns, blunts, and bytches all the time. The introspective songs are actuallt depressing to me. I won't downplay his actual skill but its just not what I want to listen to so I can't rate him like yall
