You haven’t really had an argument with your girl until you quote 2Pac - “you can tell the people you roll with whatever you want, but you and I know what’s going on...”
Some of these newer SoundCloud rappers are so bad. Awful. Is it some kind of an inside joke or something? On that last XXL Freshman video, it seemed like they sucked on purpose. Rap music is going thru (for lack of a better term) a punk rock phase.
Kanye made it cool for rap artists to be weirdos. Drake raised the bar for rappers that also sing like Vic Mensa and XXX. With that said, if Mos Def’s “Black On Both Sides” came out today, it would fit right in with this new wave and be huge.
I hope the album is great. I’m a fan. I’ve been a fan since Thank Me Later. I thought Take Care was weak, but I thought NWTS, IYRTITL and Views were incredible. He raised the bar as an artist. You can’t just rap anymore. You have to sing, yodel, etc or labels aren’t interested
God’s Plan isn’t a single from this album. If it doesn’t have that Push response OR any smash hits like Controlla/One Dance, he might be dunzo. The album will still sell of course-but at the same time, if its not high quality, this might be the beginning of the end for the 6 God
