kanye is objectively dope you could nitpick all day and point out his flaws, but still, indubitably dope. [QUOTE=-nesto-;38270657][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n5E7feJHw0[/media][/QUOTE] you wish my taste was that bad bruh.
[QUOTE=AutomataReturns;38270602]oh god, he now referenced kanye as being a beast who understands what rap should be i think im being punkd[/QUOTE] Kanye's great though. Hopsin is terrible and it's only really people who don't usually listen to rap and are only familiar with some mainstream Hip-Hop that listen to him.
[QUOTE=DJK;38274674]Kanye's great though. Hopsin is terrible and it's only really people who don't usually listen to rap and are only familiar with some mainstream Hip-Hop that listen to him.[/QUOTE] Why can't people just like them both?
[QUOTE=DaDillsta;38275945]Why can't people just like them both?[/QUOTE] nothing wrong with it, it's just annoying watching people ride his dick all because of ill mind of hopsin 5 which really wasn't that great as a song in the first place, it was just angsty rambling from a 37 year old man who looks and sounds 19, poorly rapping about why teenagers suck to a lame beat. the fact that he has a song called "sag my pants"which is everything from ill mind 5 was against is the icing on the cake

I like his flow and stuff, but I don't take him as a "serious" rapper in many ways, he raps too much about crazy Illuminati shit. I always thought Sag My Pants was a satirical rap song anyways, I always saw it as taking the piss out of that stuff, but maybe that's just me.
yeah, i was gonna say that isn't sag my pants a satirical song?
[QUOTE=TomZa;38276343]yeah, i was gonna say that isn't sag my pants a satirical song?[/QUOTE] Well that's what he says now, but the truth is he switches his image way too much for anyone to be able to know for sure. I will end this Hopsin discussion by saying what we always say, he has talent but he isn't really using it in the right way.
[QUOTE=Pal13;38212876]Don't call them that.[/QUOTE] Then what do you call them? Trap, I'm guessing?
[QUOTE=AutomataReturns;38270602]oh god, he now referenced kanye as being a beast who understands what rap should be i think im being punkd[/QUOTE] That part is actually true though
No new Ice Cube video post? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQZPXjX181A[/media]
[QUOTE=DJK;38274674]Kanye's great though. Hopsin is terrible and it's only really people who don't usually listen to rap and are only familiar with some mainstream Hip-Hop that listen to him.[/QUOTE] I know a fair few rap fans who listen to Hopsin. They're mostly the super underground type guys who hate everything Mainstream. Hopsin has a good amount of technical skill. Nothing amazing but pretty good. The problem is he just doesn't have anything interesting to say. Most of his shit is just reheated underground rap staples--conspiracy theories, whining about how popular kids dress these days, whining about how the mainstream doesn't respect him, whining about how mainstream rappers have no skills, etc etc etc. His beats all sound like they're dated from 1999. And his aesthetic presentation and personality is just this incredibly immature faux-Juggalo thing that is really offputting. Meanwhile you have Kanye who is not as technically skilled as Hopsin, but he's a million times more ambitious, more willing to explore new ideas (both in terms of sound and of subject matter), and he's just way way more interested in pushing the envelope. And he's made some pretty damn good albums in the process. Kanye's pushing the genre forum with weird, new stuff that people occasionally hate (e.g. 808s and Heartbreak). Hopsin is yelling about how new music sucks and endlessly repeating the rap music of the late 90s. That's why, even though you can look at rhyme schemes and technical ability and Hopsin will come out ahead, Kanye is ultimately a better artist whose work will have a way longer shelf life.
I like hopsin beats a lot though his music sounds pleasant but nothing too dope, I mean his rhymes are okay but nothing that makes you go "holy shit that artist is good" (probably cause of the message like TH89 said, hopsin doesnt have much to say) I dont get how you can just say "he sucks and only people who listen to mainstream stuff listen to him" that's kind of stupid I mean come on he ain't that bad
[video=youtube;6GIoZ36-uzg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GIoZ36-uzg&hd=1[/video] What's a music thread without actual music. Will dump hip hop when it gets stale here if you guys don't mind
[QUOTE=SynisterSilen;38279008]Then what do you call them? Trap, I'm guessing?[/QUOTE] Can't speak for Lunice, but Hudmo's just a electronic/hip-hop producer.

Kinda like how Wolfmother just imitates Led Zeppelin. It's well put together, just not really trying anything new. It depends what you like I think.
Holy fuck, Hopsin's 27? I had my ideas about him on how he'll improve with age and he's just a young dude who doesn't really know what to talk about yet, but damn. He's 27 and talking the same talk that Eminem spouted in '99.

Can we just agree that Hopsin is a black late 90s Eminem with shittier lyrics and beats
yes because thats what he is and thats more reasonable than saying hes terrible and not part of hip hop
chief keef keeps coming out with stuff and everyone collectively continues to give less of a shit about. it isn't don't like and doesn't have kanye
captain murphy has 9,186 followers on twitter, meaning he needs 814 before Duality drops if you have twitter follow him for the love of god; [url]https://twitter.com/xCaptainMurphyx[/url]
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;38309722]chief keef keeps coming out with stuff and everyone collectively continues to give less of a shit about. it isn't don't like and doesn't have kanye[/QUOTE] probably because he's not very talented and his crew is a bunch of women beating morons
i thought chief keef was cool at first but then he/they did a bunch of stupid shit. - mocking a young rapper's death, just 'cause he dissed him - posting a pic of him getting a blowjob smh - that reese guy beating up that girl, and then justifying it on twitter
[QUOTE=OutOfExile2;38309806]probably because he's not very talented and his crew is a bunch of women beating morons[/QUOTE] oh i know i just think it's hilarious how this kid rose and fell like a rock
I feel like he's either going to shoot someone and go to prison or get shot [editline]4th November 2012[/editline] Not like, gloating or trying to be contemptuous or anything, it just seems like a legitimate possibility :\

It's out. [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?irvdiik6j65jrpb[/url]
Wow. It's awesome.
way disappointed, it's missing everything that makes me like captain murphy. the beats boring and 4/5 of the track is by a guest rapper who sounds like he's a stroke victim or something, it's slow, sloppy and boring. then finally murphy comes in but even his verse is just so depressingly effortless and boring. the whole track sounds like it was made at 4am when they were all bored and desperately trying to pump out a track before the sun came up [editline]5th November 2012[/editline] not to mention he's hyping everyone up saying he'll drop Duality when he gets 10k followers, then like 400 followers away from the goal he says it comes out on the 15th?
I actually liked the other guys a lot. #swag
