Crooked I
First time I've seen a black thought thread. It's about time. He's way too slept on
>>73394837
Uhhh, he's not some underground SoundCloud rapper though
>>73394794
what does he rap about
>>73395135
he's a trap rapper, so just money sex and drugs

Content-wise, he's nothing special. But he's easily the best rapper from a technical standpoint

You guys are fucking dumb. Have you listened to Undun or And Then You Shoot Your Cousin? Both incredible albums with incredible/conscious lyrics
>>73396099
undun was the most generic trap album I've ever heard. Motherfucker even name dropped the album on the song with Future
>I'mma steal all this shit and I'll shoot you with my gun
>Nigga I'm a OG I'm number motherfucking one
>Me and Future rep the ATL motherfuckers better run
>I hope you're enjoying my album called motherfucking undun
And you claim this to be incredible and conscious lyricism?

You know that it was a concept album, right? It was supposed to tell the story of the life of a gang member in reverse (starting at his death) to shine a light on where things went wrong, the mentality behind his decisions, and what role his environment played
>>73394794
more like black THOT lol
>>73396598
he a slut

Are you sure? Because I listened to it yesterday and the entire album can be summed up as "I'm a fuckin trapper nigga fuck 12". I get that he's from Atlanta but he literally says fuck 12 in every single song. There is no concept to think about while listening to the album. Just the same old mindless trap drivel. I haven't heard this much lack of lyrical depth since Certified by David Banner.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling, but yes - everything I said is true.
Think about how the album opens, with the sound of a flatlining heart monitor, and then into the consciousness of the protagonist Redford Stevens. Each song is a different stage in his life (in reverse chronological order) as he progresses through the trappings of life in the ghetto. When they rap about money and bitches, they aren't glorifying them, they're portraying the mentality of someone who pursues those things. If you really want to know more about it, do some research. One of the best hip hop albums of all time, no question

>Think about how the album opens, with the sound of a flatlining heart monitor
The flatline then turns into a terrible beat with lyrics about how 2Pac and Biggie are "pussy niggas" because they're dead, with a hook from OJ da Juiceman.
>When they rap about money and bitches, they aren't glorifying them
The fifth track has a hook that is just "I LUH BITCHES. I HATE BITCHES" for 8 bars. Black Thought compares himself to John Lennon when telling us how he treats his unfaithful women. The third verse is him detailing his relationship with a woman that ended with him gouging her fucking eyes out. And at the song he clarifies that everything he said in the song is FACT and not a clever work of fiction. If there's supposed to be an underlying concept then he did a shit job.
