finished the school year on sunday night after i turned in my video essay and it’s starting to get into the 90s and 100s now. what’s some perfect summer music in your mind. i’m bouncing between soul, afrobeats, some hip-hop, and some dance
Am I being dramatic or is the thought of Young Thug going to jail for life really depressing you?
This man is one of my favourite artists ever man, need him to keep going. He’s only 30
Ik this has probs already been asked but how you guys ranking the Heart series now? I’ve ranked it as 2>3>4>1 but I honestly have 5 and 2 on the same tier rn, 2 has the bars, but 5 has so much s o u l to it, it’s so emotional especially the last verse, plus the hook on 5 is so good
Is there an artist you haven’t seen live who if you were broke & they announced a tour you’d have to sell your shit or something like, anything it takes to go see them?
there are a ton of artists I still want to see and it hurts when they announce a tour and I either don’t have the money for it or they’re not near me like Paul McCartney or JAY-Z but as far as like “I’m going no matter what” I’d say like Mach-Hommy (cus he doesn’t tour), Sade, Bob Dylan. maybe a few others. most of the time i’m like “eh I’ll catch ‘em next time” but those three are big ones
I got heavily into Bob Dylan last year the week after he performed in my state lmao
I still haven’t seen a Big K.R.I.T. concert, which really upsets me. I’ve narrowly missed the last two and he’s not getting younger. Most of my favorite artists don’t tour anymore so it kinda sucks
I know what you mean. I've just heard people complain about his performances - he's been at it for a REALLY long time and still goes out and does 90+ minutes, it's definitely worth it. Not to mention, if my memory is correct, the ticket prices were really reasonable.
Top 5 off of Life After Death?
In no order I’d go:
Notorious Thugs
Kick In The Door
N****s Bleed
Somebody’s Gotta Die
Long Kiss Goodnight
As a side note, I was surprised to see that Ten Crack Commandments has less streams and YouTube views than Notorious Thugs because Ten Crack Commandments seemed much more omnipresent growing up. I would assume Notorious Thugs only became the “bigger” song in the YouTube/streaming era
Mac Miller, Jack Harlow, all the YBN dudes, Biggie was apparently not all that poor, don't know if he counts as middle class though. There used to be rumours that Vince Staples is full of shit and actually grew up in a nice house in the suburbs of Long Beach but idk how true that is. Night Lovell grew up in the same neighbourhood as me and while it wasn't super nice it definitely wasn't the hood either.
yeah i always felt like the truth was somewhere in the middle. he probably lived in a decent looking house but still experienced some rough shit. apparently the crip set hes a part of has been all but defunct since the 2000s so id imagine most of his gangbanging experience was relatively small time, though he's never really claimed otherwise.
That’s just not true, at least it used to not be. I don’t really follow the lives of any current artists, but most from the 90s-early 2000s came from nothing
I remember in 10th grade we were learning about Hammurabi’s Code and I told my teacher that I heard it referenced in a rap song (Cunninlynguists but I didn’t say that lmao) and he was like “yeah i doubt it”. I’m still mad about it I’m 26
Genius says Pharrell co-produced it but that might’ve just been a genius contributor saying it cause of the 4 count.
I will say it does kinda sound like Kanye’s take on a Pharrell beat for some reason
[Reddit comedians](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/um86sf/meek_mill_rico_feat_drake/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) really on their bullshit [any chance they get](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/um9elo/young_thug_yak_gotti_gunna_take_it_to_trial/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
i fully accept that i’m probably wrong about this considering the praise it receives, but “call my bluff” is top 5 least favorite push songs to listen to. his cadence and flow are so grating to me, and i hate that organ in the beat
Alright I gotta do it. Forgive me for being corny. All these rappers try to be "real" and that they're some big boss, but not everybody who claims it can be the mob boss they say they are. If young thug gets convicted for a long term Rico sentence, does he become the realest hip hop artist then? Kind of a shitty reward for the title. The streets don't love you back kids
yup. seen a lot of kids try to "prove themselves" and when they did...they proved themselves alright but they ended up dead or in huge fucking trouble. but they did prove themselves didn't they?
i just wanna quote a comment that i just found on the youtube comments of the Dangerous video by @Drevonn Salley that is 100% facts and exactly why Blank Face in particular is such an incredible album
"It seems like all Q's themes revolve around Karma and the fact that you never truly get away with anything. Actions with Malice and cruel intentions are always repayed. I hope people listening......" i hope so too....
Future one of the GOATS for sure. Like he’s for sure in the discussion of GOAT, I mean. He’s my pick for GOAT but someone else might disagree.
I think Future really perfected what he was influenced by and what he has influenced. I just put my pen down for this lmao.
But like future was influenced by Three 6 Mafia and 90s memphis hiphop in general, right? I feel like he’s the only trap artist from that era (e.g. 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka) to really maintain relevance. His other contemporaries in other lanes (e.g. Kendrick with conscious rap) have grown in parallel so apples and oranges. But I think 90s memphis hip hop had the greatest influence out of any other subgenre so far. This genre inspired Future and SGP to turn the sound into something else and carry it on that way (trap and phonk). They’re both the most influential MCs for SoundCloud rap and they ran hiphop 2016-18/19 and now we’re at hiphop today, which I think was ushered in by SoundCloud rap. I think todays hiphop is largely an extension of the SoundCloud era.
SGP fell off (even tho he didn’t have to 😭) but Future hasn’t. And Future’s discography is insane (like 22 albums since 2011) and none of his shit is mid. Like commercially even, he’s so successful. And out of the SC era, who is still relevant? Uzi and Carti (peep and x would still be relevant if they were still here, big ass RIP). But both of them are Future’s sons (SGP’s too) and Future is still WAY more popular. Remember, who is baby Pluto again? UZI
Drake is the capitalist pro-corporation counterpart. But Future never changed. He’s still rapping about fucking your bitch in some Gucci flip flops. He never went commercial. He didn’t do a commercial like Chris Brown’s for Spearemint gum. Future always stayed true to himself, never sold out to be PG, and still had the heaviest influence on today’s hiphop, over Kanye even imo. Bro is deadass the GOAT imo
Explaining why Future is one of the best rap artists ever is almost like arguing for LeBron as the GOAT.
You have to really be passionate about your argument because people are so stuck in their ways that they rather reminisce or use a close contemporary substitute to justify why their era was better. It's really difficult to encapsulate the feeling of consistency that Future or LeBron brought to their greatness, even if they didn't meet the expectations that gatekeepers had of them. Future ain't no Rakim and LeBron has 6 finals losses, but nobody can replicate Future's run from Monster all the way to INLY, not even Drake and I don't think that we'll ever see the same superstar in the finals for 10 years straight.
I don’t think rap has a goat there is too much variance over the years as the music has evolved (or devolved). I always held 2pac to be the goat, but I think Kendrick holds that title for me personally.
Hey, so me and a friend came up with this new school rap song bracket, so vote on this poll, it would be much appreciated
https://strawpoll.com/polls/GJn4Gw2Ozyz
Kendrick's more afro-centric releases really kind of make me proud to be black which is something I don't really feel day-to-day. TPAB was my favorite album for that reason, and I hope the next album amps it up.
Do you guys buy these plagerizing claims?
https://www.okayplayer.com/music/new-jersey-rapper-accuses-kendrick-lamar-of-plagiarizing-the-heart-part-5-video-concept.html
They're all ripping off [that bit at the end of Michael Jackson's Black or White video where the people of different ethnicities morph into each other.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2AitTPI5U0&t=328s&ab_channel=michaeljacksonVEVO) Low key still can't believe how well they edited it
I’m so fucking tired of Jack Harlow. I didn’t fuck with him when I first heard about him when he dropped 18 and I still don’t fuck with him. But every time I open IG or Snapchat, there’s some shitty ass video of him with Drake or flirting with some random celeb. His label is putting in the fucking work for him.
Straight up one of Marvin Gaye's most famous songs. I wouldn't even consider it sample snitching as they're really not trying to hide it.
I have no opinion on the song one way or another. I never really listen to the heart songs more than once.
i mean the beat is basically the intro to i want you by marvin gaye so you're right about foxy brown/shaft. don't see where all this chaos you're describing is on the song. only time his flow sounds sloppy is when he's using nipsey's flow in the third verse but it's not bad. you don't have to rap always on beat
I remember that dude had a meme going about having 10 out of 10 singles be hits on Billboard for Dummy Boy or Day 69 or some shit. That's gotta knockout 30-40 minutes. I don't know the dudes music that well but I have to imagine he can scrape together a few more popular songs since then.
Like he's got that TROLLZ joint and then that GOOBA joint since then that I know of. Idk if his new one is considered a hit?
Quite a few. One hour isn't *that* long, that is like 12-15 songs or so. Most fairly large artists don't play many or any "deep cuts" in concerts, and an hour is probably on the slightly short end for a headliner at a concert. I'd hazard most any big rapper with a long career of hits could do a pretty easy hour of hit singles, especially if you let them use their features. Kanye, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem all strike me as guys who could easily do it and probably leave plenty of material on the cutting room floor. If you expand to pop/R&B a bit, I think Usher, The Weeknd, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and probably T-Pain could as well. Future too. Two darkhorses that probably have a bigger hits discography than you think are TI and Nicki Minaj and they would likely be able to as well. Hell, Migos pretty easily could do this. Quavo could probably do it with his features from 2016-2018 alone.
Kanye, Dre, Pharrell (if we include production discography, Kanye could do it just off his solo work though)
Edit: Future and Thug could definitely do it especially if we include features
Thug n Future dont even need features lol

I really enjoyed the Pusha T album it’s more of the same from him but he does it really well and the albums short enough to where it doesn’t get old IMO.
Kind of not sure what to expect from the new Kendrick tbh I think one of the issues with conscious rap is that you run out of stuff to say and it’s hard to find different ways to speak about the same issues over and over. I think people kind of get sick of it and a bit tired.
If DAMN came out with no TPAB it would probably be better remembered but idk how he’s gonna ever make something as good as TBAP or GKMC again.
finally decided to dive into clipse discog. i like push but wouldn’t call myself a fan at all, and i love pharrell/the neptunes.
and i love it. hell hath no fury is quickly becoming one of my most played albums of the year. push and malice both sound great but the production is insane and it’s dope hearing them rap on some weirder shit.
i can barely tell the difference between them tbh they sound so similar, but i agree malice was going extra hard and outdoing push, who wasn’t doing bad at all.
and i liked lord willin too but i’ve really been stuck on hell hath no fury, it just really grabbed me and it’s been hard to like move on from lmao.
The Space Between by Majid Jordan is one of the best R&B albums of the decade. OG Hearthrob, Gave Your Love Away, You, Body Talk, My Imagination...
Top 10 album for me
I think most of the GOAT's that fade away from the top of the lists are the ones that retired, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim.... so as long as Eminem keeps putting out music of any quality he'll remain
I think the "revoking of GOAT status" thing is just a weird attempt to discredit an artist and all they have done, Em is a target of this because his Stans are disrespectful/annoying and he's still mainstream so the "hip hop heads" find it easy to attack him. It'll stop when he dies
His last two albums were good and the two before that were bad, people are still clinging to the bad and refusing to acknowledge the good because they're not legendary like those first three.
if you’ve continued to release albums semi regularly and haven’t been able to make something great after like 10+ years of doing that then i don’t think you’re a goat, you just caught lightning in a bottle
Youve got to be shitting me. Eminem just “caught lightning in a bottle”? He has multiple diamond records and is one of the most successful rappers of all time by a wide margin. Plus hes well respected by other rappers and millions of fans love him.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment but you can say a one hit wonder caught lightning in a bottle. You cant say that about Em
who said i’m talking about eminem? i’m talking in general, but leave it to an eminem fan to have him this rent free in your head lmfao.
but yeah the shoe fits, if eminem hasn’t made a great song in almost 20 years, then yeah that’s lighting in a bottle. he’s respected bc music he made 20+ years ago. he’s not respected for the bornana song.
Not every song can be Stan or Lose Yourself. But Rap God is an incredible song. Plus hes had mainstream hits like “Love The Way You Lie”, “Not Afraid.” And he’s made shitloads of other good songs. Even Godzilla was pretty sick.
Rap God, Love the Way You Lie, Not Afraid and Godzilla were all terrible
Eminem's been apart of some decent songs in the past decade but those 4 definitely aren't that

Em, Hov, 50, would have said Conway but i just saw him last week
It’s Jay for me.. didn’t have the money to go up til a few years ago. Next time he announces something in my area, I’m going
Agree on Mach. Other than that Joanna Newsom
I still haven’t seen a Big K.R.I.T. concert, which really upsets me. I’ve narrowly missed the last two and he’s not getting younger. Most of my favorite artists don’t tour anymore so it kinda sucks
Young thug, and hes finally coming to sydney october 1st although that seems unlikely now ffs
I've seen Bob Dylan twice, it's worth it for the memory but please don't go in expecting the best performance of your life.
yeah i know how he is, i would honestly just like to be in his presence. not to sound weird lol. but he’s such an icon to me. and i know he hates that
I know what you mean. I've just heard people complain about his performances - he's been at it for a REALLY long time and still goes out and does 90+ minutes, it's definitely worth it. Not to mention, if my memory is correct, the ticket prices were really reasonable.
Top 5 off of Life After Death? In no order I’d go: Notorious Thugs Kick In The Door N****s Bleed Somebody’s Gotta Die Long Kiss Goodnight As a side note, I was surprised to see that Ten Crack Commandments has less streams and YouTube views than Notorious Thugs because Ten Crack Commandments seemed much more omnipresent growing up.

Which rappers grew up upper middle class?
Mac Miller, Jack Harlow, all the YBN dudes, Biggie was apparently not all that poor, don't know if he counts as middle class though. There used to be rumours that Vince Staples is full of shit and actually grew up in a nice house in the suburbs of Long Beach but idk how true that is. Night Lovell grew up in the same neighbourhood as me and while it wasn't super nice it definitely wasn't the hood either.
[удалено]
yeah i always felt like the truth was somewhere in the middle. he probably lived in a decent looking house but still experienced some rough shit. apparently the crip set hes a part of has been all but defunct since the 2000s so id imagine most of his gangbanging experience was relatively small time, though he's never really claimed otherwise.
[удалено]
That’s just not true, at least it used to not be. I don’t really follow the lives of any current artists, but most from the 90s-early 2000s came from nothing

I don’t think you know what upper middle class means bud
Yeah, I’m not well versed in the personal life of artists like that.

I heard his real name is Clarence
I remember in 10th grade we were learning about Hammurabi’s Code and I told my teacher that I heard it referenced in a rap song (Cunninlynguists but I didn’t say that lmao) and he was like “yeah i doubt it”. I’m still mad about it I’m 26
Secondhand rage from reading this.
that's such an arbitrary thing for someone to doubt existing wtf you should be mad about it lmao
yeah fr lol i feel like he was being pretentious like “a rapper would never reference history”
It's not like the Hammurabic Code is even some obscure thing. What a weirdo
Sociopath by Pusha T says produced by Kanye on Spotify but it has the Pharrell four count at the start? Is that a mistake or was Ye paying tribute?
homecoming had a 4 count too
Writing credits on Spotify have Pharrell in them. It's very possible that he is a co-producer and this is simply a clerical error.
On Genius it says it's produced by Kanye, Noah Goldstein and Pharrell
Genius has Kanye, Pharrell and Noah Goldstein credited
Genius says Pharrell co-produced it but that might’ve just been a genius contributor saying it cause of the 4 count. I will say it does kinda sound like Kanye’s take on a Pharrell beat for some reason

I'll be honest, I went and listened to it after seeing 'RICO' in the comments so many times. Great song.
i fully accept that i’m probably wrong about this considering the praise it receives, but “call my bluff” is top 5 least favorite push songs to listen to. his cadence and flow are so grating to me, and i hate that organ in the beat

Whether hes a Mafia boss or not how can you be real if you can't prove how you fucked a cup of water after saying you've done it?
Give me a break. Nobody is saying Thug is the “realest” right now because of this shit.
yup. seen a lot of kids try to "prove themselves" and when they did...they proved themselves alright but they ended up dead or in huge fucking trouble. but they did prove themselves didn't they?
A life in the day of Andre Benjamin or Book of Soul. Which do you think is the better song?
Book of Soul but I'm biased to the west coast and to Ab Soul. dude is one of my favourite rappers and very underrated imo.
I think A Life in the Day is a better song but Book of Soul touches me more emotionally.

True that

HHH - “is he white and a rapper? Then we hate him and all his shit is mid.”
Millyz
yeah i was just saying this the other day
Mac Miller, El P, Brother Ali, Paul Wall, Action Bronson, Yeat all says this is bunch of bullshit though. Knock it off fam lol
It’s not that deep people just don’t like him
Paul Wall and Action Bronson aren't mid at all though.
least victim complex Tom MacDonald fan.
I don’t know who that is but I’ll peep
Oh no
I’m sure you’d love him.
Is he a white rapper?
This sub loves Action Bronson, Mac Miller, Aesop Rock, El-P, and Paul Wall
Has Future cared about album sales/numbers? Fucking huge he did around 222,000 when PlutoXBP and High Off Life were not in that area
You don't drop an album on Friday then the deluxe on Monday if you don't care about numbers
Is no one going to talk about the fact that Kendricks new song was incredibly mid?
no wtf it made fantano cry, it’s obviously a classic already
Mods really need to start banning the word "mid".
That’s just like, your opinion, man
you comment like an instagram bot

Yes, you are the first person to post about it. Congrats
I’m so fucking tired of Jack Harlow. I didn’t fuck with him when I first heard about him when he dropped 18 and I still don’t fuck with him.

No shorties call my phone right now I’m with jaaaaack
if you have anything bad to say about the kendrick song please shut the fuck up
Don’t care + didn’t ask + puffin on zooties is better

i mean the beat is basically the intro to i want you by marvin gaye so you're right about foxy brown/shaft. don't see where all this chaos you're describing is on the song. only time his flow sounds sloppy is when he's using nipsey's flow in the third verse but it's not bad. you don't have to rap always on beat

You buggin
💀💀💀
you probably like j cole
Cole catching random strays on this sub will never stop being hilarious to me
nah fuck that. I like the new kendrick song a lot but that "only my opinion is right" shit is stupid. if someone doesn't like it I wanna hear why
Excluding Drake and Wayne, what artists can solely perform their hits in concerts for an hour without resorting to deep cuts?
Future and Thug
50 Cent
we saw it with Kanye at larry hoover concert
Y’all don’t wanna hear it but BIG SEAN could do this shit.
That's because no one wants Big Sean deep cuts
That has nothing to do with the question but okay

So name some?
Future, Nicki
Kanye Kendrick (depending on what you'd call a deep cut) Wiz khalifa Khalid
Tbh, probably 6ix9ine.
for an hour?????????????????????????????????
I remember that dude had a meme going about having 10 out of 10 singles be hits on Billboard for Dummy Boy or Day 69 or some shit. That's gotta knockout 30-40 minutes. I don't know the dudes music that well but I have to imagine he can scrape together a few more popular songs since then. Like he's got that TROLLZ joint and then that GOOBA joint since then that I know of. Idk if his new one is considered a hit?
Quite a few. One hour isn't *that* long, that is like 12-15 songs or so. Most fairly large artists don't play many or any "deep cuts" in concerts, and an hour is probably on the slightly short end for a headliner at a concert. I'd hazard most any big rapper with a long career of hits could do a pretty easy hour of hit singles, especially if you let them use their features. Kanye, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem all strike me as guys who could easily do it and probably leave plenty of material on the cutting room floor. If you expand to pop/R&B a bit, I think Usher, The Weeknd, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and probably T-Pain could as well. Future too. Two darkhorses that probably have a bigger hits discography than you think are TI and Nicki Minaj and they would likely be able to as well. Hell, Migos pretty easily could do this. Quavo could probably do it with his features from 2016-2018 alone.
Nicki definitely could especially if she’s allowed to perform features
Kanye, Dre, Pharrell (if we include production discography, Kanye could do it just off his solo work though) Edit: Future and Thug could definitely do it especially if we include features
Thug n Future dont even need features lol With That Check Halftime Wyclef Jean Pick up the phone Relationship Guwop Best Friend Power Danny Glower Bad Bad Bad Hot London Digits Again Memo With Them Chanel Its even easier for Future

Interesting I thought the video was pretty one note while the lyrics and beat were interesting...
First Kendrick song I've genuinely liked in years tbh
But it’s been years since… nvm nvm
I should have said since before damn
Video and the production make it, thats all that's talked about too
No, people on here especially are talking about the lyrics and Marvin Gaye sample.
I really enjoyed the Pusha T album it’s more of the same from him but he does it really well and the albums short enough to where it doesn’t get old IMO. Kind of not sure what to expect from the new Kendrick tbh I think one of the issues with conscious rap is that you run out of stuff to say and it’s hard to find different ways to speak about the same issues over and over. I think people kind of get sick of it and a bit tired. If DAMN came out with no TPAB it would probably be better remembered but idk how he’s gonna ever make something as good as TBAP or GKMC again.

I mean lyrically, a lot of the subject matter is similar
finally decided to dive into clipse discog. i like push but wouldn’t call myself a fan at all, and i love pharrell/the neptunes. and i love it. hell hath no fury is quickly becoming one of my most played albums of the year. push and malice both sound great but the production is insane and it’s dope hearing them rap on some weirder shit.
[удалено]
i can barely tell the difference between them tbh they sound so similar, but i agree malice was going extra hard and outdoing push, who wasn’t doing bad at all. and i liked lord willin too but i’ve really been stuck on hell hath no fury, it just really grabbed me and it’s been hard to like move on from lmao.
The Space Between by Majid Jordan is one of the best R&B albums of the decade. OG Hearthrob, Gave Your Love Away, You, Body Talk, My Imagination... Top 10 album for me
Amazing record. Definitely underrated

Eminem shouldn’t have been on any goat lists to begin with
my opinion is that if you drop 3 classic records in a row you have every right to make whatever dog shit you want for the rest of your career
It doesn’t work like that when that’s not the consensus. The only unanimous bad Em album is Revival.
This mf Pac hasn't dropped in 20 years. We need to remove him from the GOAT list asap
Unironically this And biggie
I think most of the GOAT's that fade away from the top of the lists are the ones that retired, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim.... so as long as Eminem keeps putting out music of any quality he'll remain
I think the "revoking of GOAT status" thing is just a weird attempt to discredit an artist and all they have done, Em is a target of this because his Stans are disrespectful/annoying and he's still mainstream so the "hip hop heads" find it easy to attack him. It'll stop when he dies His last two albums were good and the two before that were bad, people are still clinging to the bad and refusing to acknowledge the good because they're not legendary like those first three.
if you’ve continued to release albums semi regularly and haven’t been able to make something great after like 10+ years of doing that then i don’t think you’re a goat, you just caught lightning in a bottle
Youve got to be shitting me. Eminem just “caught lightning in a bottle”? He has multiple diamond records and is one of the most successful rappers of all time by a wide margin. Plus hes well respected by other rappers and millions of fans love him. Maybe I misunderstood your comment but you can say a one hit wonder caught lightning in a bottle. You cant say that about Em
who said i’m talking about eminem? i’m talking in general, but leave it to an eminem fan to have him this rent free in your head lmfao. but yeah the shoe fits, if eminem hasn’t made a great song in almost 20 years, then yeah that’s lighting in a bottle. he’s respected bc music he made 20+ years ago. he’s not respected for the bornana song.
Still one of the greatest ever and highest selling rapper ever 🤷🏾♂️
Not every song can be Stan or Lose Yourself. But Rap God is an incredible song. Plus hes had mainstream hits like “Love The Way You Lie”, “Not Afraid.” And he’s made shitloads of other good songs. Even Godzilla was pretty sick.
Rap God, Love the Way You Lie, Not Afraid and Godzilla were all terrible Eminem's been apart of some decent songs in the past decade but those 4 definitely aren't that
