Are people actually listening to this stuff? Like, as music?

It’s getting a bit ridiculous. If we’re honest with ourselves, the praise he gets is more about hating Jay-Z than loving Big L. How was he considered a goat just because some people think he beat Jay-Z in a freestyle? Big L was never considered the one of the best before this Internet narrative against Jay-Z started. As someone who’s been a hip-hop fan for 30+ years this is kind of hilarious.

He tried to do a Post Malone. Rise to fame using rap then turn around and try to go country and rnb just for everyone to troll him now he's a rapper again.

Laughlin Events Center last night. I didn't go. Its an outdoor Venue. Im at the RV park next door and heard the entire show crystal clear.

What surprised me was the setlist. I'm an old white guy unfamiliar with rap. I heard Journey's City Lights with the whole audience singing along. Not a brief sample. They played the song for several minutes. Also heard Hall and Oats Rich Girl. I haven't heard that song in over 40 years. Also heard 7 Nation Army. Fascinating how many songs I recognized at a rap concert lol

This was when the YouTube rap blogger era was taking off… it was usually title “Logic type beats”

Hear me out it wasn’t actually based on the rapper Logic or his beats but it was an actual known producer (not 6ix) that made these dreamy type of beats and everyone who ripped his beats would upload on YT and put “Logic type beat”

Anyone know who I’m speaking of? There’s like an entire aesthetic to it. I think he usually put up decent artwork with his beats or a visualizer.

Williams’ tablet usage log is about 500 pages long with around 30 entries on each page, prosecutors claimed.

“It can hardly be said that these conditions of confinement are inhumane and therefore this emergency motion should be denied outright,” prosecutors concluded.

i.e. Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Justin Timberlake, etc..

I keep coming back to this. Sampa’s pen is ridiculous. Like the way she rides a beat, the switches, the stories. She out raps a lot of the folks people swear are “GOATs and somehow she still isn’t in the “best right now” conversations.

It honestly feels like she’s held to a different standard because she’s from Africa and doesn’t fit the usual industry mold.

If you haven’t really sat with her projects, give them a full listen. She’s not “up and coming.” She’s been that good. We’re just slow to catch up.

He sounds like a sleepy baby the way he talks. And some people compare him to the next snoop dogg or Tupic!

How is "Mr. Mosely" clever?

I remember like around 2018 I first heard of him and I remember people calling him corny because of 1-800 song and bunch of other stuff. I have heard some songs and they don’t sound bad so is it that his music just took a major drop or did he just only have a few good songs?

I am not a fan of JAY-Z, that doesn't mean I'm a hater by any means, I'm just a casual listener with common sense enough to acknowledge his impact in rap.

However, online, and especially recently it seems like overwhelming downplaying and discrediting of his impact? I can't name one Jay-Z song or his only hits are features...

Yo for the longest he held the title for the most #1 albums of any act EVER! And in a point and time when people had to physically buy albums. He's also one of the best selling artists of all time (150mil +). He also has 25B streams and 50M monthly listeners today. I could run stats down but that's redundant -

What gets me is the obvious. 99 Problems literally made it into the cultural lexicon as a whole; shirt slogans, movies, tv shows, even human to human real life convo. That alone is massive! That's one song. I bet the chorus of Hard Knock Life could play to anyone under 60, regardless of demographic, and they would recognize it... completely iconic. Big Pimpin? Forever Young?

These are genuinely huge songs and dont even touch his features.

So why all the hate? Or saying he's not big enough for the SuperBowl?

Genuine Gen-Z with common sense signing off x________

This music video was filmed in Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, back when gang wars over drug territory were a reality. Amid all that chaos, rapper Mano Fler emerged, and he’s still active in the scene to this day 🙏🏻
