The hate that he gets around here seems unwarranted and vaguely personal, almost like the hate that Talib or Lupe gets but I KNOW why the lesson has beef with them.

boom bap-inspired hip hop sucked for most of the 00's. His music lacks any passion/imagination but people somehow people give it a pass because it's somehow "real hip hop." Meanwhile, it lacks any the passion and innovation that made the actual Golden Era so wonderful. In short, he cynically cashes in on people's nostalgia for actual good music. The same could be said about Big KRIT, who is way more concerned with paying homage to the Southern artists who came before him but he's actually sounds good. Term sounds like somebody's little brother trying to rap.
If he is going to complain about how soft and awful hip hop today is, hr shouldn't do a song with Mac Miller/try to ghostwrite for Diddy. There's too many new MCs with actual talent for this guy to be getting any attention. He should just call it a wrap and become Primo's accountant.

OK, you don't like his music. I personally don't hear what you are hearing in his rapping. His music on the other hand I largely agree with you. His first two albums were what you are talking about pretty much exactly. But really? no originality in "people are running", "Wedding bells","tell me lies"? I don't know about that one.
Really though, if you are able to I encourage you to give the first collaboration '1982' another listen I understand if you aren't feelin' it but I wasn't expecting to like it either and it surprised me.

KRIT is obviously hugely influenced by those who came before him, and pays homage to them, but he's his own artist in the end. There hasn't really been anybody like him in the past, even if he does sound like Pimp C and AZ's bastard child.
There's nothing original or interesting about Term though.
My hate for him is probably a bit unfair, because the first time I heard him was Watch How It Go Down, which was incredible imo. So I downloaded his earlier mixtapes/albums. They turned out to be garbage, but I just put that down to them being his earlier work. I still thought he was the next big thing in "real" hip-hop (yeah, I was one of THOSE guys). Copped his next mixtape (with real money, smh). I've been mad ever since. I kept listening, just waiting to hear that potential realised, but it never happened. The guy just sucks.

He good. I'm not sayin' all black people agree with me but somehow I feel more connected to Latin cultures when we have this common element in our culture.
