Who is the greatest rapper to never connect with with your heart?

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Based on criteria I believe Tupac and Nas are disqualified here, so we can have a fair discussion now



A singular instance of Song Cry negates Jay Z as well


What rapper is making content completely directed toward the logical mind rather than the emotional heart?

I have to say J Cole for me. Something’s just missing that if it were there would make him a GOAT to me

So you’re saying that it’s impossible for someone to just not connect with Nas or Tupacs music, that every single listener will get chills from them?

 

[Complexion]

In Pacs case he's got a song for every mood and he made you feel what he was saying. Thats part of the reason his legacy is so large and global to this day because people resonate.

My answer is Nas. I honestly don’t see what’s so special about his music to make you Stan him

Never resonated with any of Outkast music

I'd have to say Slick Rick

whenever I give him a shot, I turn the shyt off after 20 sec

Damn fr breh lol?

Haven’t done my HW on Slick Rick (don’t see myself doing it anytime soon tbh) but Hey Young World is such a heartwarming and comforting song.

Prime example to counter when folks just spew Hip-Hop/Rap is pure evil.

MF Doom
I know why he's great, but I'll never jam his music

Kane and G. Rap for me. Never could get into them at all but they also were before my time so probably not fair for me to name them.

Raekwon, GZA, Deck - I could fukk with them on singular verses within Wu albums, but never was able to actually get into them on their own projects.

J. Cole, E40, Nipsey - I respect these guys because I know they matter to hip hop at a high level, but i never got it with any of them.

Hmm … I feel like I avoid him because he makes a contrived effort to connect with the listener on this basis and it hasn’t felt genuine to me yet


Drake is to J Cole

As

Lebron James is to Sebastian Telfair

That ESPN magazine article that had Lebron on the cover when he was a high school player also had Sebastian Telfair featured

Once upon a time J. Cole and Drake were aligned like that as well

Scarface. He’s dope, one of the GOAT’s, but i never really cared for him musically outside of a few songs.

Dont een come in here running ya mouths about my pick either @DropTopDoc @Lucky_Lefty

E-40 was actually the inspiration for this thread. I don’t even know if I want E-40 connecting to my heart like that though


Nipsey was doing it but usually with that same flow over and over again

Yeah. Nip’s flow was always my issue lol.
