@@user-zr9og2ml4khave you ever seen or heard 95% of these rappers? You're gonna sit there and act like every rapper is a fng scholar? Half of em can't even rhyme at this point.
I mean.....yes....but also, alot of those dudes grew up in an environment where if you projected any softness what so ever it literally put you in danger.
Kinda depends on which definition of musician you’re going with and even then it’s obviously not true across the board. If you mean that in the traditional sense, then yeah… a lot of rappers can’t play any instruments. But a lot of others can. If you mean just writing or performing music in any capacity, then all rappers are musicians.
So glad someone with followers like Jeff D has the fortitude to say what so many ppl think but dont say out loud. Im not one of them. I say it. But not on social media lol. Hes speaking truth. Its garbage. Absolutely a backwards peddling into further self-disrespect.
I thought this when I was a teenager. I’m in my 40’s now and still think it. There’s literally nothing about them I want to emulate. People who can’t take a joke are not my people.
He's actually 100% spot on. Like as a black man who grew up in the rap culture I think most if not all of the modern rappers in today's society are lame and their music is part of am extension if that.
A lot of it has to do with their culture before getting into the industry. A lot of rappers come from that ghetto/gangbanger mentality where you're clowned on/looked down upon if you aren't a macho badass 24/7 and everything from glancing at someone to wearing the wrong color shoes is a sign of "disrespect"
That may be the case today, but it ain’t always been. When the genre really started popping rappers were rapping about positivity and especially black pride. The major labels got together in 1991 and decided that was not good so they shifted the focus to sexism and violence. From then on rappers no longer controlled the narrative, the label executives did. Today the artist has more power, but if they sign to a label they get told what to rap about. I doubt you have heard any of this and think these rappers get to do whatever they want and it’s simply not true.
Could not agree more. Bragging for 3 minutes isn’t art isn’t cool and I don’t understand how any normal person can relate to it. Acting “cool” or hard or whatever and constantly telling people how cool you are isn’t actually cool. It’s actually incredibly gay. Also the fashion looks stupid af like 97% of the time
As I grew up I look back at that time w so much embarrassment. Like the addict who gets sober and is embarrassed about all the times he was black out drunk. That’s how it feels to mw
This is exactly why “cool” rappers (cool meaning they’re nice and friendly and funny and interesting rather than “cooler” than everyone) have such loyal lifelong fan bases, and the other assholes don’t have shit as soon as they aren’t the flavor of the moment.
I agree, rappers try so hard to be cool that they can't even laugh, goof around, or have fun. Because they're too busy trying to seem too cool to care about anything.
Thank you for saying that I feel the same way its not just rapper it's anyone that Imitates them need a reality check because We are meant to be better than that
That's sucks because I've been around allot of funny rappers that were hard in the streets. The real ones never have to act because they knows who they are
Majority of people are A holes in a way, but be around people you can relate to more . Im not around a lot people because they're so worldly think theyre god and they blasphem so much its hard to digest most personalities. Regardless, learn to find something good about your fellow brother / sister is a challenge i give you ?my success because of the grace of god and my savior Jesus Christ.
I grew up around mostly black kids at school and was a decently funny kid. Then a bunch of other kids who wanted to be like the rappers were my friends. Instead of saying damn B your funny from about 4th grade and on I'd have everyone laughing we'd be having fun and it never fails they would start saying you stupid, you goofy, silly, crazy, anything but funny? It wasn't aggressive but when I said I'm not goofy I'm funny they acted like being complimentary was weak. Same with the rappers they copy and it makes for these toxic people,
I use to think rappers are cool, but the moment you realize “oh what this is kind of re74rdwd” - you can’t listen anymore. B/c all the songs are about how cool/rich/tough they are. It immediately ruins the genre
I don't even mind that whole "eternal 15 year old attitude"..... but the music is horrendous..... back in the day, there were guys who had at least something interesting to say in those songs...... now, both lyrics and music are complete waste of time
They often repeat themselves incessantly cuz they can't think of anything innovative to say and they just copy what the next guy does. Rapping is so unoriginal these days. Un OG.
being standoffish and not goofy is a defense mechanism, when you come from a place where you have to keep your guard up it becomes 100x more important to keep doing so once you’re rich because it puts a target on your back

@mateohodge6998 Agreed. Mostly referring to who he was talking about. There are more and I agree with majority of who you said. Point I think he's trying to make is the culture of rappers thats promoted to the masses is in fact trash. Alot more garbage gets through to more people than the quality stuff unfortunately.
It's about damn time...I remember the MTV days when rap was taking over and rock was being dominated by shit like creed, nickelback and Lincoln park. It was like the dark ages.
It appeals to youth, a young persons mindset. More important... let's ask ourselves why 30 year old men WANT the admiration of kids? Either they like kids, or... they to intimidated to try and impress us grown ups. Either reason, disappointing or dangerous.

@@jc5604 lil yatchy acts tough and hates comedy and never acts goofy??? Tyler the creator is tough??

I agree but I think it depends on the rapper. Notorious BIG has lines like “black and ugly as ever” - he def did not think he was all that. Drake is incredibly playful. Really I think it depends.
And kids imitate what they are told is cool. Now you see why they want hip hop culture (which is prison culture) in suburban gated communities and for it to dominate mainstream.

That American Legion jacket though. That’s just fantastic
It’s not a coincidence that it’s mostly highschoolers and young college kids looking up to them
That is so true. The walking slow part really is part of it and it’s just so annoying

Agreed, it's also the foundation for black on black violence and crime.
Me: grew up in Kent WA, combat vet that rides with American Legion… that jacket is coincidental as a motherfucker

They’re too busy thinking about clothing and shoes like a female.

As a rapper I 100% agree
Rap went from baggy pants and timberlands to skinny jeans and spray painted hairlines
Yeah I just can't understand why they have to keep projecting that kind of persona.... Due to their own insecurities?
No shit. celebrity worship is a pass time in this country, might as well be royalty.
It's the whole community not just rappers.
I don't even rap presents , is that Kent Ohio jacket??

Idk about the image part. But have you ever seen rap live in concert? There is almost no entertainment value.

These rappers can act tough surrounded by armed security. Take their fences down, security dogs away they are just as you and me
not all rappers are this way. but i agree that is the majority, im not going to argue.
When any black American says "black culture" this is what theyer talking about. Cuz they're certainly not talking about African culture.
People like rap until they grow up, then they only like old rap
