Hip-Hop & Rap Music

I respect what you’re saying in regards to the legends but it’s an “old head” opinion.

Kendricks also really the only rapper(emcee) from this era that I’d have on the same pedestal as Nas etc. He embodies what hip hop is about, and I don’t get why you can’t see that just because he’s not Nas or Tupac, when he’s literally this generations version of both of them.

 

‘The Blacker The Berry’ is one of the greatest rap songs I’ve ever heard,was a good album that it was on but that song was powerful.It made me proud to be black tbh and I’m a wee skinny dying white * from Rocabarraigh.It’s like reading Malcom X’s autobiography on coke.

 

Wish I was black I ain’t even got no lyrics just pure flow

 

Its just frequencies that I like. Melodies prompt it but lyrics build the story afterwards. You can master the melody but lyrics can open up alot of exposure to elements. Really its a drug.



I listen to these drugs everyday.

 

Lyrics are conscious, melody is sub conscious. Sometimes they get mixed up but awareness is important.

 

i'm making a sick rhythm on my pc but i can't bounce it because i need more RAM.

Best wishes to the bhoys today.

 

@Doogs. i am fully aware that I can be an ignoramous at times. We do tend to take things on face value and in that respect I don’t like his gremlin voice and attitude. Maybe I should give it more of a listen today, why not.

 

Kendrick was this generations Tupac before dissing Drake. Dissing Drake was like a side hustle for him, a bit of fun. Don’t think it was career defining or trying to win people over.

The range he has and his storytelling is 2nd to none. Different flows, changes in tone as a story progresses, even songs like Not Like Us where he’s just having fun. There’s nobody else that can do what he does at such a high level across the board.

 

MF DOOM is my personal favourite and i'm sticking to it. Guy was levels above anyone and by that i mean no lyrical comparison necessarily but more about how your mind reacts to, or tries to figure it out. Listening to DOOM has cause some eureka situations for me and there are layers and depth to it plus elements of humour too. Its all about how it makes you feel. Comparing art is bs, but I think all the elements are there that makes his art interest me alot more then Kendrick.
Theres no buzz for me from dissing rnb pop stars though and its a bad introduction for me from him. I understand people have the complete opposite view though.

 

DOOM is amazing but a lot of his lyrics are gibberish. Same with Ghostface Killah.

2 of the best ever but they both admittedit of their lyrics are gibberish to sound good, more so GFK.

 

No way man not having that, Ghostface has style and cadence and can listen to his lyrics all day but its not gibberish. MC's from the day can switch topics often and leave the listener confused its just a different way of writing and arguably takes alot more skill to capture whats intended or create something special. Alot of older heads when they first heard Nas that set a standard. You had to flow and those emcees reached the heart and soul of people not with their lyrical content but with how they use words and how people responded thats poetry basically and theres more substance to finding hidden meanings in your life then there is to accusing ppl of being a paedo in my opinion.

The art is lost and the craft is forgotten
