So would you say he's different?


This is what you learn going to school next to the hood :touched:
I think it was on TMZ where I saw someone saying that rap and hip-hop today are as evolved as rock and roll was in the 1980s, and thus 2 Chainz is hip-hop's version of Warrant and other talentless hair-metal bands of the 80s. All self-parody and no substance.

Not that I'm trying to keep it classy, but I'm researching where in Napoli to find some famous paintings by Caravaggio when I'm in town there later this week. :weee:

The simple fact that Kendrick's verse (which was very good) got crazy reactions and how people went apeshit crazy over it shows how much rap has declined. The verse itself was very good, but still....that reaction. :sergio:

Here's the verse in question.

J.Cole is meh, his mixtapes were dope, his first album was ghey, never bothered with Born Sinner.
Lupe used to be my favourite rapper from this era but he's been disapointing....sooo much promise in the late 2000's. He still dope though.

So you the type that gets easily impressed by dope rhyme schemes. Go to sleep child.


It's got soul, blues, ego-trip, great word-play,rhymes, content, flow, great delivery and above all hope. Real hip-hop.
