So what does "corny" even mean when referring to a rapper? I often see rappers like Joyner Lucas, Hopsin, Logic, Tech N9ne, and other more technician focused rappers called this, should it be a valid criticism?

Cause they arent HARD and sometimes say goofy shit

it's a feeling mostly, like when you're watching a movie and there's a cheesy moment.

It could sometimes be in relation to their nasally sounding voices or overall preachy lyrics that accompany it.

a lot of puns and fat albert jokes instead of real stuff about how many drugs you sold to ruin your community

nobody is rapping about selling drugs anymore, it's all about doing em'.

and that's so much better, Tyrone!

Corny in afrospeak is code for white.

What they're saying is, these guys seem white, or seem like something whites would enjoy, therefor they are not cool.

I see a lot of white guys using it too.

It means if they have a lot of lyrics about the man who invented college

this is a retarded opinion that you use to cope with the fact that you have absolutely indefensible horrible taste in music.

For me corny has to do with a rapper being excessively preachy and boring which someone like Logic undoubtedly is. Joyner and Hopsin fall under that category as well but I've never heard Tech being in that conversation with any of my friends who listen to hip hop

Who knows, rap fans just spread the opinions and buzzwords of other rap fans. They're like a virus

Corny rappers are rappers who have no nuance in their writing.

That's not true at all. For the longest I've thought J.Cole was corny and I still do but I do respect his pen-game. Maybe for me it's his insufferable fans and the elevator music that goes platinum no matter what.

corny = non-mumble rap.

kanye definitely isn't corny

I don't listen to rap so my music taste is great.

Those white guys are copying black guys, and being quite corny.

They lame

J. Cole is corny because he writes shit. Dude is about as "woke" as those fb motivational speakers. Literal faggots with superiority complex

how did you find this place papa?!

they dont talk bout hoes n cash boy

This. Hip hop is a music industry thought experiment.

>"Ok if we made music that the absolute lowest and stupidest human garbage niggers in society would pay for... what would it sound like?"

Judging hip hop critically is like judging prison food critically. You can, but why would you.

lol underrated

logic has a line about how he'd suck cock to prove he isn't gay
that's corny

It means they write trite lyrics that are out of sync with their persona or it comes off poorly in the song.

Its not a black thing you goofy nigga

h

Corny can mean clichéd. Logic seems sincere about everything he says. This shows vulnerability, but it also shows that he basically has shitty artistic taste. He doesn't have taste because he did not catch himself writing cringy lyrics
