Am I the only one that feels like a lot of modern 'rappers'

theyre pop stars and theyve been that way for a minute

>>73143972
I unironically think uzi is one of the best modern rappers debate me fgts

>>73144096
youre right about that
>>73144001
youre right about that
>>73143972
youre right about that

good work team

>>73144096
why?

>>73145077
Uzi is one of the only XXL member except lil yachty to stay relevant while releasing quality music. He is better at this singing "rap" than anyone else and hes pretty unique in the way he delivers and changes style when he is not saying yea yea yea

didn't say yachty was good just that he was able to stay relevant. 21 savage is garbage tell me exactly why is he good? Denzel curry is good but I haven't heard anything about him in a while so idk if hes still relevant

>>73145200
It baffles me how most people just ignore Anderson .paak on that freshman list

>Uzi is one of the only XXL member except lil yachty to stay relevant while releasing quality music
Reads like youre saying lil yachty released quality music. Denzels got a new project coming out soon i think, i saw a track on worldstar or somethin that i hadnt heard atleast

wasn't Young Thug supposed to be rebranded as Jeffrey or some shit?

>>73145332
I'm willing to bet most people haven't bothered to look into his music. I still get surprised by him even though I followed his early stuff with Wax and Dumbfoundead, as well as random videos that cropped up of him singing on the drumkit. Not saying that I'm a TRVE fan or anything. I wasn't that big into him, but somehow his music just hits me, even though I don't regard him as a huge inspiration. Here's to hoping he tries to tackle a really ambitious and controversial project. Although maybe it's better to stay grounded like Vince Staples.

>>73145506

yep "my name is jeffrey" was supposed to be his replacement

didn't work out I guess.

>>73145229
Denzel Curry is good but he kinda went off the radar after his album drop and so did savage after drake was done with him

>>73145542
Pretty sure it was just to hype his mixtape/was never meant to be permenant. Like how Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion

>>73145730
exactly

but his manager even made a comment about it

I'll google and see if I can find that statement

He's literally soulja boy

t. "crank dat" by soulja boy
it's all you need to listen to in order to understand

>>73145730
Snoop Lion is specifically Snoop in his Reggae form. He is a man of many forms

>>73145785
I'm asking how his fans listen to his work. What mixtape they listen to. I've heard them all but none gave me a "I want to listen to this casually later" feeling.

>thinking paradise is shitto
Anon I think you have shit taste and should leave immediately same with the take off anon he is literally just ad libs

>>73145310
xxl use to mean something. I have to agree with you. 21 savage is garbage. He is an inbred who can barely speak english. However, his immaculate flow + metro's production = gold

>>73143972
They can't carry a tune, therefore can't be called singers

They're just hypemen, but then again Hip Hop was born from hypemen at block parties in the 70s, hyping up whatever the dj was playing

People didn't start getting lyrical until the late 80s

>>73145834
damn

>>73145834
you sound like an angry small person
that you uzi?

>>73145942
The new music was pretty good, I think the upcoming album is gonna be alright, the best tracks will probably be the ones with the best features tho.

>>73145310
the list isn't out yet...

>>73145965
how small is uzi?

>>73145310
That's not true anymore though, a lot of the people who are probably gonna be on the list this year have an organic fanbase. A lot of the rappers in this current generation are so young that they don't have any industry connections to fall back on.

>>73145332
I think his spot should've been given to someone else, specifically Kap G or Rich the Kid. Not because his music is bad, but I think the general consumer of XXL is more likely to gravitate to that style as opposed to .Paak's

>>73145776
Ha is this at a party?

>>73143972
Well said. I love Uzi but he's not that good at rapping. I love his singing voice a lot tho, like on songs like Team Rocket, XO Tour Life, Scott and Ramona, etc.

>>73146002
5'4

>>73145332
.Paak is the most relevant on that list, that anon is fucking retarded.

Malibu is amazing.

>>73145539
I really like Vince, but if his new album is full of beats like Bagbak I'm going to have a hard time enjoying it desu.

You call this music? I call this noise.

>>73145807
migos are fucking trash, so nah
