Why are white rap fans so impressed with rapping fast?

The funny thing is that Vinnie Paz damn near hates his fans (the hardcore ones). Dude's IG be exposing the "real hip hop" fans from the normal dudes that so happen to listen to hip hop:mjpls:. Hell, one his last JMT albums felt more of a mainstream album than the typical "stabbing priests in the head with a crucifix" type of shyt.

I don't blame him, it probably gets annoying hear people talk about "real Hip Hop" all the time if he happens to put on something of this new generation that's got a melody to it. Look at Nas, people used to give him shyt for it all the time until they finally gave up and accepted it. Nas was working with Nicki, Chris Brown, and even did a track with Justin Bieber and as you could probably guess, people were up in arms. But I think what people don't understand is that dudes are fans of different things too. They don't have to be a fan of just boombap lyrical shyt, they can enjoy party music and vibe music just like anyone else. The "spiritual miracle" underground sector doesn't understand this though, and that's why all their music sounds dated and isn't compelling at all.

Royce is a perfect example of a nikka who can rap FOR REAL and can put together a really great album. Book of Ryan is still one of my favorites from last year.

Not every rapper from the 90s is gonna be on some RA The Rugged Man or Lord Jamar shyt lol, plenty just accept things for what they are and enjoy it.

Cause they already dont care about what most rappers actually rap about so its only right they obsess over songs where thats not the focus

I get into it with my fellow white people all the time about this. Like I'm not trying to hear Killah Priest at the club. And liking a wide variety of stuff doesn't make you any less of a fan in fact it just makes you more of one if anything.

Also there's something about the dismissive, elitist way that white people talk about stuff like Kodak or Flocka that really bothers me. Like this ain't our culture so we really have no place criticizing artists who are doing their own thing in the culture while bigging up white rappers just cause they rap really fast with "big words".

I could probably articulate this point better but I'm lazy

That's exactly it, a music fan's taste is diverse. There's rappers that listen to MF DOOM and Killah Priest along with Evidence and Apathy, but can also listen to Bjork, house music, calypso and EDM. Music is more than the box that people generally place it in, that's what makes something generic: sticking to the typical formula without doing anything differently. There's a lane for lyrical rappers, and there's a lane for the party rappers.

The irony is, people would hate on Flocka a lot back in the day, but he deliberately was making ignorant music because it sold. That's why once he dropped "I Can't Rap Vol. 1", the whole "Waka can't rap" talk stopped. Kodak may not be a virtuoso of rap either, but he definitely can rap, regardless of Kodak's character himself.

There's plenty of rappers that can rap fast with really big words, but nobody cares about most of them, because their music isn't good. Nobody wants to hear a lecture, they want music to enjoy and vibe to. If you can teach or tell a story, if you can inspire while doing that, that's a huge plus and separates the good from the great, but the music HAS to be good, beginning and end.
