Your least favorite hip hop narratives

I just wish folks would stop saying “ghostwriting” for somebody who’s literally credited on the song. Quentin Miller wasn’t ghostwriting for Drake the man is credited in the couple songs he worked on. Same for Travis Scott and his writers. The writers names are right there in the credits

Ya ok dude I've heard plenty of cats from the south and west who claim Nas they goat guys on this board are not all from nyc and fukk wit nas

Same can be said for Quik. nikkas from the South and the Midwest acknowledge him as a legend. You east coast nikkas are dinlge berries for real. Hell there's east coast nikkas on here that acknowledge Quik as a legend so.....

1. Nas won the battle but Jay won the war because Nas signed to Def Jam... a participation trophy to make Jay feel good


Nas cooked Jay on wax and had that boy weeping like a willow tree. The battle ended before Nas signed with Def Jam

Jigga stans need to stop fronting and changing up history.


2. Atlanta killed Hip Hop... Poppycock


If anything, everyone jocking ATL killed it. No one told NY and other regions to directly copy off ATL. Rep where u come from and have some pride.

Fam dude literally said in the third or fourth post.... goddamn it

The Big Sean disrespect

IDK man, you might be right... But I could also see Khaled's big ass taking a nap on the sofa in the studio then waking up after everyone goes home and going all Deebo on the cat at the mixing board for the tape and slapping his name on it.

Khaled has payed his dues..

He is a dj, so he going for the home run records

2pac wasn't a superstar before Death Row

This is a good one. If anything Pac was actually bigger than his own music before Death Row due to the acting and controversy. But this is why I feel like MATW is prime Pac. It’s not only his best album imo but the irony is that he was locked up when it dropped

Na u are a dikk riding. JDILLA more legendary than quick

as much as I love J Dilla, his death made his career bigger. I was buying his album s back with SV and on the indie route. When he died, millions of people became fans that never listened to him while he was alive. Quik is indeed a legend. From 1990 to now. I like Dilla and Quik both and no need to put them against each other. The thing is, Dilla has only carried 2 classic albums in his career. Quik has at least 3. And even the least popular Quik albums were dope, just like Dilla's. Even as Dilla's biography stated, he wasn't even getting love in his own hometown, that's why he moved to Cali. Just as people shyt on Nas, imagine if he had got killed right before It was Written dropped.. Everyone would say he's the best thing ever like they do for Pac and Big(2 albums). When Dilla was alive, people were shytting on him for "destroying" tribe's last 2 albums at the time (Love movement, Beats Rhymes, and life). When Common's Electic Circus dropped, everyone swore that Dilla fukked the album up when Dilla had to explain that Common was asking for those bets. When Welcome to Detroit dropped, me and my boys weren't pleased with it because the beats he gave everyone else were better than his own project.. So we don't have to shyt on Quik to praise Dilla. both are great..

I agree. I don't think the south killed hip hop, the lack of a regional sound is what killed hip hop. I love wresting. I was watching wrestling in the early 80s before I got into hip hop in 1984. There were a LOT of different wrestling federation and territories as Jim Cornette constantly explains on his podcast. He always says that when Vince Mcmahan killed the territory, that hurt wrestling. I say the same thing about hip hop. Back in the day, you knew the east coast sound, southern sound, west coast, midwest, etc.. Regions didn't have 1 sound because the south had bass, bounce, and others. The west had their gfunk and others. The east had a variety, but we knew.. Each coast had their slang. Now with artists coming out, I don't know where the fukk these guys are from until they state it because everyone sounds alike.

I think it's more the labels pushing the goofiest, wack nikkas from the South and almost no one else. The South themselves didn't help, though. Between little to no Hip-Hop culture being popular (little or most likely no scratching, beat boxing, graffiti or Hip-Hop dance in the videos, or reverence for the culture/pioneers), and them making it cool to be wack at rapping (the crying over Nas' HHID album was mostly "not everyone is nice", or "nikkas wanna talk about partying and bytches" which was a lot of them telling on themselves). They got the top spot and abandoned the culture for strippers, tricking and ignorance. Eventually, even the southern rappers that had Hip-Hop culture in them went away. NY put the nail in their own coffin by following and trying to sound like that trash and watering down the sound. Now, they have a whole generation of kids who basically aren't New Yorkers, artistically.

em killed jay on renegade

It was a song where both rappers were talking about their clashes with the media and critics. nikkas weren't in a freestyle battle

I feel like it kicked off the most basic, low hanging fruit discussion you can have about rap especially on tracks that don't even warrant it. nikkas be on the internet talkin bout who killed who on still tippin

No excuses for an alleged GOAT who got an old song with the rhymes already on there.

"Eminem was never good."

He's fukked up his discography a lot since Recovery, but prime Eminem is one of the best rappers to ever do it. That run from 1999-2003 (SSLP, MMLP, Devil's Night, Eminem Show, 8 Mile soundtrack, features on songs like "What's the Difference" and "Patiently Waiting") is crazy looking back. Encore turning out the way it did changed the trajectory of his career for the worse.

Why is it okay to get help with a beat but not for lyrics? Who made these rules?
