"unlike some of the popular shit like asap and lil b."
@blackdeff: Are you saying ASAP has bad production and that Gambino is a good rapper? lol. And Gambino is definitely more popular than ASAP or Lil B.

ASAP is a good rapper, I don't get what about him isn't good. He has such a versatile flow, Max B-level hooks and clever rhymes that he usually comes up with on the spot. Gambino just tries and fits in "nerdy" pop culture references so he can with corny wordplay.

Plus Lil B's dope as fuck. Shit's 2abstract4u.

Again, the fact that you think ASAP has bad flows/rhymes but Gambino is a genius when it comes to that stuff is baffling. ASAP's flow is one of the best in the up-and-coming hip-hop scene besides maybe Curren$y and Kendrick.

haha yea maybe your right, hes just on another level. And i can see why someone wouldn't like gambino, i just love his references and punchline style.

"Are you saying ASAP has bad production and that Gambino is a good rapper? lol. "

I do really like the casino beats on that mixtape, especially the opening track. Just not really feeling his style.

"Pretty nigga in some shit you never hear of" (talking about how he's in these crazyass designer clothes he's always talking about and that you can always see him in, which leads into his ego which is talked about in the next line)
"only thing bigger than my ego is my mirror" (makes enough sense. I don't see how this is a bad line so trying to make it look bad just by doing an (LOL) is silly)
"clothes get weirder" (see above)

"Money get longer" (makin dat cheddar) "pretty nigga pin yo hair up" (making fun of himself, basically this entire line is talking about his ego and being a pretty boy)
"the nerves of this dude but I'm cool as a fan/vent" (could go either way, not really supposed to be this super deep, amazing simile but something to flow)
"40 ounce full of brew"

I don't see how any of these are terrible. I mean of course when you do a stupid thing of (OMG) (WOW) (LOL) (TERRIBLE xDDD) after all of them you could make any of them seem bad, but that's just a logical fallacy of trying to make things look ridiculous to win some dumb argument.

"swagrap" might not be a real "genre" of hiphop but its definitely a fucking absurd trend in hip hop right now and the only people who don't recognize it as such are the kids who are smack dab in the middle of the "scene" screaming SWAG WOOP.

lol except Lil B and Odd Future don't really have anything in common except for the fact that they both have mentioned the words "swag" and are from the West Coast. Mellowhype and ASAP maybe have a bit in common (except ASAP's better) but ASAP was doing that shit back in 2010 when Mellowhype was just releasing shit.

Again, people who think "swag rap" is a thing are ridiculous. I mean maybe if you'd consider it the group of people who make more synth-based hip-hop based around smoking and shit, but then that'd make Curren$y and a ton of new rappers who aren't considered that a part of "swag rap", so that wouldn't make sense.

I'll try to come back and explain with a longer post, I don't have time for that right now (I'm being
serious here).

But basically it's what Idnuf, gabe and a lot of people around here have been trying to teach you for
couple of months, the fact that rap isn't a competition of trying to have the most complicated rhyme
schemes and saying shit you have to decipher to understand.

It doesn't matter that we like different things. That's the great thing about music, it's made of different people having different opinons (though I guess you're not really one to talk about being dumb for having differing opinions considering you were like "xdDDD what a morann1!! i cant believe you like BE#EBER!!!!1"), it has to do with the fact that your view of hip-hop is ridiculously skewed and you act really silly about it.

MalleusMaleficarum

when you center someone out youre basically picking them out of a group of people and picking on them. basically what im saying is that i think you kids are personally offended when i say that asap isnt a good rapper. you should just take it in stride and realize that certain people arent going to be as satisfied with this kind of hiphop as you are. the rap game needs kids like asap and hodgy beats. if we didnt have them, i could never truly appreciate people like Elzhi, or even BIG KRIT, or even Jean Grae.

I don't give a fuck about who you like or don't, it's the fact that you have to post in every single
thread with these kind of rappers and rehash the same worn-out arguments that people have already
proven wrong more than a dozen times.

You are clueless about hip-hop and only value one or two aspects of the music, while I think I have
a more global view of hip-hop and its culture, I listen to all kinds of hip-hop, and I'm not dumb
enough to come and listen to a rapper like ASAP and expect the same shit as, say, El-P. You have the
right to not like him, and I can certainly understand why, but please stop commenting about rap in
general or making dumb statements like "this dude is talentless" and shit like that.

I don't even know why I'm putting so much effort in this, as it's probably you goal to make me lose
my time like this. I guess that's the only aspect of the argument you're capable of winning, so good
job on that.

yeah its definitely the best thing you've ever done and here's why

you never rap with any passion. there are plenty of rappers that are enjoyable to listen to even though they have nothing going on lyrically that's interesting. here bone thugs gave you the fire you need, if you can put that on your own lyrics i might enjoy your tracks and im being completely serious

we should start a little dogma thing of rules of Rap Authenticity

rule 1: i decree that all songs must not only be made in garageband but also must include the preset metronome click that i always forget to turn off

2. Rap ain't genuine if you aren't saying "(X number) on my dick cuz I look like (Y character, real, historical or fictional)"

3. every track must have a chopped and screwed version which must then itself be re-chopped and screwed for bountiful purp value

4. You must use a ridiculous amount of slang that you only learned through hip-hop and would never ever use in real life. Make up slang that you think the scary darker folk would use if you don't know any yourself.

Maybe because he raps in a way that fits the production ?

And really can't see how you can be so sure of yourself, he might also be able to rip a drum kick.

lol yeah you tell em. ASAP is a fagqueer for trying to fit his rapping with his production style.

Pretty cool freestyle/cypher. ASAP Ty Beats looks so much like Curren$y.

Y would we judge rap artists on such a useless criterion oh my god. guess what rappers don't rap over just a bass drum so why should we care how they -would- sound doing it. jesus

@Malleus: I was pointing out how not all rappers you liked were fast.

anyway the drum beat thing is kind of a silly standard to hold what makes a good rapper lol.

you shouldn't take it to heart, kids. just extract the point that im obviously trying to make.

75% of the appeal behind asaps songs is in the catchy choruses, atmospheric beats, and the usage of that screw voice thing

all of those aspects can be attributed to production

theres nothing wrong with that

it doesnt make the album/mixtape bad

i would just like to hear asap over one boom-bap type of beat. a dj premier production or somethin, you know, somethin to rep his set rather than the city he wishes he was from.. a nice stripped down beat just a nice snare kick and fat bassline. no stupid screw voices. lets see how things go then.

When I first heard this mixtape, the song Trilla really stood out to me cuz the beat is pretty stripped down. But he's still usin' that same Mike Jones type flow that he always uses on that track.

to put it bluntly this niggas rapping is boring as fuck

he recycles the same flows on every song

you can find the same lyrical content on every song

but WHY?? what is the need for that. yes if you completely change everything about the "sonic environment" (or whatever) in which asap rocky raps then he would be potentially less enjoyable?!?! Wow: A Fucking Revelation

lol

"you can find the same lyrical content on every song"
So? Most rappers rap about the same stuff in the majority of their songs.

"i would just like to hear asap over one boom-bap type of beat. a dj premier production or somethin,
you know, somethin to rep his set rather than the city he wishes he was from.. a nice stripped down

wat.

Just wat.

no I'm not butthurt, no I'm not sensitive, no I don't really care that you dislike a rapper that I
like, but seriously, like seriously, wat.

this is pretty fucking true. there is a difference between talking about the same things and using the same words (i'm a pretty muthafuckahhhh)

in my opinion ASAP Rocky gets away with it and makes pretty good music because he has a tight flow and beautiful production which is very interesting to listen to and balances out his boring-ness.. but I agree with what Malleus is trying to say.
