How it is not true... if I take any list of the "best rappers" made by anyone they will all have a great delivery... Unless you go at the very begining of hiphop where you had a lot of fruity rappers too.. but even then, they had more content and delivery than some of the stuff you hear today...
I don't speak of rappers in general anyway. Just the best of the best have always had a good if not great delivery and they are the ones who had the best longevity too.
But now, you got Tity boi dumbing his flow down, Future and his coarse voice.. etc.. People lost appreciation for the delivery skills. It's a shame.
Especially when I hear youngings with actually dope flows and definite mainstream appeal (even bodying those trapstyle tracks which proves they can be flexible) and content that just don't have access to a strong enough medium to get heard...
Don't get brainwashed, there are dope stuff out here but you just don't hear about it because it just don't make its way to your ears...
That's just the way the industry evolved but it's a shame...
Let's think about the era that you speak of when you bring up "delivery and flow". The guys who actually ran that era were who? MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Sir Mix A Lot, Luke, Snap, C&C Music Factory, Marky Mark, Kriss Kross, House of Pain, ect. Hint........the reason hip hop rappers were biitching even back then. Crying like babies on their songs....."this real hip hop..forget the fake rap...blah,blah,blah.......same as today. Given the opportunity they would "sell out" to...or end up where they are today. Who's the blame? But what we did have was a solid underground following. We wasn't after the world in a since to being flashy, we just wanted the City behind us. Without the underground, I wouldn't care about Compton, Boogie Down, Hollis, Bed Stuy, Marcy, East 99, Orange Mound, The Bay, Wild Hundreds, and on and on. People had their back because they had theirs. And you see where it took them. It's much more than just saying you from it, they relate to the home team for what singles out the home team from everybody.
And I understand how you as well as others feel about most Atlanta style rappers. Yall always bringing up how we sound and what not. But that's the thing that made us and still makes us be where we are. Because we steady bringing you something different......and in this day in age now for over 13 years...still give people a way to make "SOME KIND OF GOT DAMN MONEY". lmao! So since everybody loves money....there shouldn't be no complaining. Because when everybody stop using our styles to benefit theirself...we will still be "doing us" and the home team will "still be supporting"......so it's all good on this end of the rap world.
In other words.......QUIT BLAMING PEOPLE WHERE I'M AT FOR THE WORLD NOT WANTING DELIVERY AND FLOW AND WHAT NOT. In the end, who's fault is it really? When people do what we does, it's only right for us to show'em how it's done. WHAT.........other people are expected to do our style better than us? LMAO! Come on man. Other type rappers don't even sound right. They sound too "proper". LMAO! How you hood rapping all proper English style or in some kind of actors voice? Wu Tang didn't do it.......
And it's more than just hooks, we got a whole city behind us. We got the world now. Don't like it....DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT...or continue to play "can't beat them, might as well join them"....the same way it's been going down for 13 years. That is the destiny of over saturation. Why haven't Kendrick released anything that isn't "Southern Influence"? Looks like it was his only hope to me........and was everyone else's only hope. Kanye ot to put his face on building to display his WACK ASS shit.....but people think anything he does is good because...well....it's Kanye....it's suppose to be good.
You now have answers and solutions. Problem is.......it ain't easy. So the easy way feels like the only hope. Because people want two things that wont mix without some other ingredience to test out.......the shit don't bubble or do nothing...it just sits there separated.......one new ingredient might blow up in your face and kill your dreams, another may create a potion that the world enjoys....nobody wants their face blown off.....Future looking like Muhammad Ali right now....he still pretty!!!
Shit is funny....dedicated to you.....
That's a bad ass flow and delivery on that hook and UOENO it. Live a little bit man......I'll make you love Future.
Future has his own genre man......
