Why are white rap fans so impressed with rapping fast?

[Sauce Dab]

Here's a difference though:

Exhibit A:


Scarface was stating the woes in the world and how that can wear on the human spirit. Something that truly hit home on so many levels, versus this song:


No rhyme or reason to the lyrics due to the chorus strongly encouraging suicide. Scarface focuses on the reason why suicide seems like the only solution in a fukk up situation. These rappers nowadays sell the emo shyt for profit, and not protest.

breh you just juelzed all that to say you like one artist and don't like the other one. And I don't like Logic either

There's a guy I work with who is your typical white rap music fan. He doesn't like much rap music but he's a huge Tech N9ne fan. Also likes old Eminem of course and surprisingly is a big T.I. fan. He likes Machine Gun Kelly (no surprise again) but isn't into much else and for the most part likes rock music.

Then the other day he brings up Snow Tha Product which is a name I've heard of but never heard the music. And he proceeds to say that she "raps really fast" and that he's impressed by that. I asked if he ever listened to Twista and he said he tried but that "he raps too fast sometimes for me"

Anyway, what is it with white people where being able to rap really fast is the only (preferred) skill required to be considered good? Why does that somehow mean someone is a good rapper but everything else involved in rap music irrelevant?

LMAOOOOO Twista is pretty much better than every one you named here but "raps too fast sometime for me" what a cornball your coworker is

 

[Playaz Eyez]

They love when a rapper isn’t flashy and doesn’t brag About his money too

lmaooo

Whats wrong with rapping fast? You'll even see Reggae artists with fast flows as well. It's cool to see rappers use good techniques. Rapping fast is one of them.

Bone Thugs
Big L
Big Boi
Lord Infamous
Twista
Even Biggie

They dont deserve props for that?

OP said fast rapping in reference to white people. None of those rappers you listed strike a chord with them the way Logic, Eminem, and Machine Gun Kelly do.

why do ya'll care about what white people like?

 

[Payday23]

because they are just like the dogs they kiss in the mouth - react to sudden and quick movements

Now that you say that I've noticed red folk gravitate towards fast rap for some reason, it's probably them that be doing fast rap comparisons on youtube.

All of these dudes have white fanbases though...

I was thinking this. And typically white people don't really even know their discographies like that, we just know we're supposed to like them so we make sure we do

Like we can't quote any lines or verses but love to say 3 Stacks is a top 5 rapper

 

[JustCKing]

Cause it’s a soulless element that helps ensure the words have less value per minute

I don't know why people automatically equate rapping fast to soulless. Are we now saying that Bone and Twista were rappity rap rappers? I still stand by Twista's verse on "Is This The End" being one of the best ever. Breh told a story through the rhyme at rapid speed and his verse picked up where Puff's left off without missing a beat and Puff's flow greatly contrasted with Twista's.

Rapping for the sake of rapping is soulless no matter if its fast or slow.

Because our lives still depend on it, unfortunately.

I’m white.
In my experience, white people either flat out don’t like hip hop, or don’t like it enough to have an opinion about it.
It’s exceedingly rare that I come across a white person who cares enough about hip hop to have a discussion about it.

I’m 38 though so maybe that has something to do with it?

 

[mobbinfms]

Eminem, Tech N9ne, Logic, and NF are in every cacs top 5

Who is NF?
