r/rap

these are the three greatest rappers of all time in that order in my (current) opinion. i will admit ye has a better overall albums 9/10 times than drake but drake just has more albums and drake hasnt released b2b trash albums like ye has. yb is heavily debatable but his music just really speaks to me and i enjoy it, he doesnt have the writing capabilities as drake or even ye but like its always vibes. honorable mentions would be like j cole and lil uzi vert probably im not sure about those

I just wanted to drop in and get some feedback. IMHO Eminem is the absolute greatest MC of all time linguistically.

I’ve never heard someone that can use tambour and rhythm to make words that shouldn’t rhyme…rhyme.

He uses double-entendres in almost every song flawlessly to the point that I think it goes over peoples heads and they don’t catch it.

If you look deeper than the song and actually listen to the lyrics which I think most of you do…idk anyone that can beat him. I’m open to suggestions to listen to though.

Thoughts?

Asking because I just started listening to Latin hip-hop/rap and it is spectacular!

I have been trying to find new Latin hiphop/rap because honestly, I have found most new American rap uninspiring and boring.

Once I found Latin rap and hiphop, it’s like I opened a new door to a new music genre! Yeah, it’s bass heavy often times, is beat heavy like all rap is, but these Latin musicians are creating music that is eclipsing what American rap is putting out now.

Favorite artist so far is Venezualan free stylist/rapper Akapellah! His music is so clean, the production is tremendous and the sounds… it’s truly unique there are sounds and instruments put together with top tier vocals; I really haven’t heard this anywhere else. Akapellah’s albums are complete, he’s got great music throughout the entire albums.

If anyone has recommendations for other Latin rappers/hip-hop artists I’m all ears! I also found rappers Veeyam and JordyLongSocks that I enjoy a lot.

I forget how good Marsball was at bis peak . Dude was so different with the craziest pen game. The way he included Hailey on this track is so clever.

I can’t stress enough how much I hate this kind of rap.

I know a lot of people who follow/listen to playboi carti are dreadheads and thats why I’m wondering if I have to be a dread head to listen to his music or if it’s just optional like other artists. Personally right now I’m listening to Laufey and Beadabadoobee And I’m kinda in that style right now?! Of wearing dresses (even though I’m a guy) and like trying to be pretty and cute and feminine, but I kinda wanna start listening to playboi carti, hence why I asked if I could start listening without dreads. Thank you PBC fans.

I love all the classic 90s rappers like Nas, Tupac, Biggie, etc. I grew up on Illmatic and the like. And I've found a few of the newer generation rappers I like... Except Kendrick Lamar.

Obviously everyone has different taste, but Kendrick is universally celebrated as one of the best of all time... And I just don't get it. But I'd like to cuz I feel like I'm missing out. Not sure if it's his voice or what, so please tell me where I should start in order to get into Kendrick. Give me a few of his absolute best songs. The ones that if I don't like then something must be wrong with me. Like NY State of mind. IMO if you don't like that song then you have bad taste. But when it comes to Kendrick, apparently I'm the one with bad taste.

Please help me out with some genuine suggestions.

Mac Dre is huge in the bay area but even people from socal didn't really know about him. Actually it probably wasn't until Drake shouted him out in one of his songs I noticed more rappers talking about him but even then I really don't know if they really knew about him.

definitely one of the best in the business.

prob just his style of music more so but I did love Carti in 17 I felt his was atleast more vibey

not that old lol still mid 20s but yea I guess I’m unc now

Comparing both What Would U do? And D.P.G/K and the other tracks against each other who in your opinion do you think won the feud?

Random question. I know some songs are simply arranged to have a better 2nd verse, but what verses are unequivocally better than their first?

So, I need to hear AB’s best verses. I need to see why everyone says he’s a top tier lyricist. Tell me his best works that he does this on. I will listen to all of it.
I like a couple of songs by him, but I don’t think those songs are just best rap wise…

He just released his newest album and it is pretty banger IMO, anyone else on here jamming to it?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WAS THAT. I heard online that is was supposed to be really dark, but I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as that. I also heard that it actually happened, is this true?

Have you guys listened it yet?

Yup
