Real rap used to be about OGs reporting stories from the streets. Nowadays all you white boys are happy to consume products created by fake entertainers like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, all posers who never even experienced life on the streets. Rap has been gentrified

It's called entertainment for a reason. It took me a while to accept this too. Are you mad that keanu Reeves isn't actually a top assassin, or that Christian Bale isn't really batman?
Jayden Hall
>Christian Bale isn't really batman
Any evidence on your bold claims?
Michael Butler
Same thing with metal and grunge happened it's a product of the generation who fought to their top and then when they got there they sunk lower than possible
Samuel Murphy
>Tyler the creator
Lol why even bring him up? He couldn't giv two shits about the whole rap thing.
Gavin Perez
this guy is right
Tupac was a studio gangster. A lot of people back then were fake too. Paid In Full cover is fake ass cables. Kanye West is actually pretty great barring your political opinions.
Kevin Jenkins
No I suppose I don't have any.
Evan Turner
80's rappers literally called your favorites rappers sellouts who shucked and Jived for the white man by pretending to be gangstas for white entertainment
Austin Jenkins
Kanye was reporting from the streets dumbass. It just wasnt from the perspective of a gangbanger
Matthew Campbell
there were some 80s gangster rappers, maybe less so in the 90s sure, and less so today.
Luke Torres
What's the deal with you rappers being so obsessed with "the streets?" I mean everyone has a street outside their house man, it doesn't make you special.
Cooper Anderson
How do u expect a genre to expand and evolve if u want everybody to be from the same background and rapping about the same thing. Would u honestly say Kanye has put rap in a worse position? I think that'd be a pretty dumb thing to say. And there are still plenty of rappers who experienced a tough life on the streets. Freddie gibbs, maxo kream, pusha t, vince staples, yg, jay rock, roc marciano

White person detected. The golden age of hip hop also had songs like these.
A song about unrequited love: youtu.be
A song about being a manlet: youtu.be
A song which features the stream of consciousness style of writing: youtu.be
A song that is basically about nothing in particular: youtu.be
Gangsta/reality rap and G-funk weren't the only two subgenres of hip hop out there.

>Kanye, a soft poser who went to college, was reporting from the streets
He has always been a joke, pretending he is a tough guy although he has always been a diva

AH JUST LIKE THE 80S WERE USED TO SELL HAIR PRODUCTS AND OTHER SHIT THE 90S KILLED THE 80S AND I AWAIT FOR THE NEXT 90S TO SHIT AND PISS ON THE 80S LIKE THIS MODERN FUCKING ERA
Evan Morris
Kanye never tries to act gangster what are u talking about
Christopher Hill
I have also heard conflicting reports on whether or not Eazy-E was really "with the shit". He might have just been a small time weed plug
Alexander Powell
>Selling weed makes you gangsta
t. White boi
Jaxson Brown
>conflicting reports
I also heard that some hardcore dudes were cooking PCP in Eazy's mom's backyard. I didn't say weed was gangsta you idiot. But I do enjoy weed
Ian Phillips
Really? I thought Eazy put $250K into ruthless records and all of that was from drug dealing
Levi Murphy
Haha yea nigga where da real g's at?
Alexander Jones
>But I do enjoy weed
Grasping for every bit of "street cred" with that post huh
Oliver Stewart
did you see the receipts? I am sure that more than one rap label has been funded by drug proceeds. I am just saying in reference to OP's critiques, even some rappers who are held to the true gangsta motif may have been frauds themselves
Caleb Nguyen
why would I be grasping for any cred? I don't care who you are or if you died in the next hour. Nothing you say will validate or hinder what I will do next

Real rap will always be about telling stories from peoples on the streets of the neighborhood

>90% of his music is rap and the rest is low quality r&b

all these meme face tattoo guys are realer than anyone from the 90s, a new one gets shot or goes to jail every month
