I don't care whether or not you can sing well. I don't care whether or not you can rap well.

Are the songs good?

Eminem can rap his ass off to this day but his music is horrible now.

matter

you get sick of this or that. why not this and that?

i want it all...

Streets won't let me chill.

Else why am I listening to you?

I can't get by on just 'energy'.

Dope beats, nice flow, garbage-ass lyrics.

When I see someone use that word, I almost always think they're saying "this person doesn't rap like Big L, book 'em."


Like, to me an incompetent rapper is that dude Viper with the album "You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack".


I HATE Mickey Avalon's album with all my heart but he's a 'competent' rapper.


And Viper makes dudes getting name dropped in this thread look like Raekwon.

I prefer MC's to bench press the planets and shit like that, but at least be a competent lyricist. That's how I got through the 90's with Raekwon, Tha Alkaholiks, and CMW on the same mixtape.

Doesn't matter if you have something to actually say.

there are still standards in Hip Hop, at least to me.

99.985% of rappers nowadays bite each other style-wise. Back inna day you didn't have to tell me who was on the mic, if I've heard him/her before, their unique style came through. They didn't follow the same rhyme patterns, cadence, or anything (except for a handful of LA rappers.. and they didn't go far).

but I can enjoy a good song from a sloppy rapper without ruining the moment by screaming "this ain't real hip hop"

But sorry Hip Hop is like Jazz to me now. I want substance and texture to my music. If it is lacking that... I don't bump it.

and they love to tell everyone who they dont fuck with and why...

The rest are throwaways to me. My bro-in-law who's like 15 years younger than me is always telling me I don't give the young dudes today a chance. I do, but so many of them are a dime a dozen.

I had some 2Chainz shit in the ride once giving it a listen, and she was like "I didn't know you liked 2 Chainz!!!". I told her "I don't... and the more I listen to his shit the more I'm convinced he's dumpster water"

I always give these new dudes a listen and so far the only cat that has managed to catch my attention was Kendrick Lamar.
