Never hear of any g herbo but he is irrelevant mainstream wise whoever he is.
This is the problem with you two-faced nikkas, being Mainstream matters when it's certain rappers to your liking.
If G Herbo doesn't have hits or enough notoriety to you, he ain't a "lyricist" to you? Why do supposed "Hip-Hop Heads" act so hypocritical about relevance?
It's not like you checking for Independent or Underground rappers anyways, why does their status to you somehow indicate their talent?
Fame doesn't mean shyt as it applies more to celebrity status, than overall notoriety as a Rap artist.
Future is one of the biggest out and he and all his clones mumbles
Drake sings more than he raps
Young thug and all his clones mumbles
Desiigner mumbled on the biggest record of last year
The biggest female "rapper" Nikkie put out more pop songs that raps.
Kendricks last album was more jazz than rap.
Future half of the time doesn't even use Auto-Tune.
You nikkas still need an ATL Rosetta Stone, but could somehow sync with whatever the fukk Bones Thugs was saying at hyperspeed?
Young Thug is a Future clone mostly, idk why you put them in 2 different lists, add Desiigner to that too.
You're implying as if they're separate, individual artists when you could have added others like Cole's Almond Milk, Black Jenny Craig lightskin ass, or even Chicago's E.T. - Chance.
I don't care for Drake, but nikkas in general don't care about Canadian rappers, it is what it is. They mostly have singers over there, so why would you expect him to rap mostly?
Nicki went Pop and R&B, like every other major New York Rap artist before her.
She even tried breaking through as a Caribbean artist, cacs, basic hood nikkas or hoes didn't like it.
So she reverted to the working formula all past Rap icons did for success (the same shyt she gets criticized for).
At some point hood nikkas and hoodrats ain't the ones who will support you in the long run, they already moved on to looking for "replacements".
Her 3 latest singles all are Rap, even "Regrets In Your Tears" has a Caribbean bounce to it,
a style which she hasn't done in over 9 years.
You do remember DJ Kool Herc laid the foundation to Hip-Hop beats - which was Caribbean and Pop/Dancehall records being he was from that culture?
So in her case being a Trinidadian, how is that not "Hip-Hop" considering the genre's very origins in New York?
Compared to how many Rap songs she has in total, you meant most of her hit singles as expected aren't Rap songs.
Unless you're 50, ain't no way a New York rapper past the G-Unit era gonna chart with street singles, -
without having to compromise and do crossover shyt.
Her last album in 2014 was mostly Rap, this ain't 2012 where she did what you're talking about, lmfao.
Overall, I thought the Booth doesn't care for females as RAPPERS unless they fighting each other, being sexual, etc.? Moving on......
On Kendrick, nikka have you lost your mind?
He does the one thing the Booth considered to be the new Holy Grail of 90's Rap (which mostly had Jazz influences) in this decade and you said it wasn't Hip-Hop -
because it was more like Hip-Hop's roots not some bland West Coast G-Funk revival bullshyt?
So, do you want him to go "Full cac hipster" mode and just do ignorant shyt/or SJW fukkery?
There's no one strict, agreeable definition of what a "lyricist" is.
You're also suggesting there's only an 1-D characterized sound for the whole of Hip-Hop.
The damn rappers themselves will tell you that, as the fanbases as usual never know what the hell they're talking about.
Think they know more about the genre than the ones who made it.
You all get pickier than a pregnant bytch on her 3rd trimester period, obsessed on putting all these rappers in boxes.
When they experiment to do something not 100% generic and TRY to appeal to your standards, you bash, mock or troll it.
But when then say they are showing their Hip-Hop roots, they're "wannabes" or not rapping like the greats.
So do you want them to express themselves, or bite everyone you hold to higher standards anyways?
Some of you nikkas shouldn't be called Hip-Hop Heads, acting out of character like White bytches who praise their "White Beyonce" Adele and look down on everyone else.
Like Kendrick, said "bytch, be HUMBLE!", damn let rappers breathe a year for once.
Word to
@PhonZhi where is nikkas like him to put the Booth back in a reality check from time to time?
