It’s not just about subject matter. It’s about introspection and growth.
“Drugs killed my teen spirit welcome to nirvana”
vs
“Ice man not nice man now I’m hot n cold”
lol see what I mean
@Osinachi_W I always tell people that hip hop is an intellectual vocation. You must make time to truly listen to a hip hop album. Study and annotate the bars. This is how you can truly appreciate and enjoy the art form.
Low-key, HipHop is the one genre that requires you to have serious knowledge about everything. From cars to fashion, music, movies, politics, history, sports, books, places, events, even art.
If you're not tapped in, the bars will most likely fly over your head.
That's why rap is for smart people. 😉 😉
I really fucks with Hip-Hop memorabilia. Vinyls, CDs, Tapes, action figures, artwork, graffiti, vintage clothes, etc. All that shit is so fly and its cool talkin with peeps about that
Enjoy hip hop man, stop tryna scrutinize everything and listen as some sort of critic. Enjoy that Cole, Keem, Rocky and Don Tolliver gave yall music at a high level and stop making everything about how can we tear people down. Our genre and culture will never progress that way.
there’s a rap card game where if you roll a 5, you debate the subject matter of the songs each player lays out - the significance, subjective strength, how well the artist approached the topic, etc. really good stuff
Rap’s not dying. But it can go offline…with Let’s Rap Card Game 🎲
Grab your friends and debate rap songs with categories like lyricism, delivery, storytelling - not streams + sales
It’s competitive, fun + purposeful. Get the game for yourself to see
