write that comment under one of these new school rappers video's and people will have the nerve to call you a "hater" when its simple FACTS. I also cant believe how this new trash has Billion of views compared to REAL Rap from 80-mid 00's...SMH I hate fuck boys

[@YoungViz]

there is nothing wrong with having party tracks, tracks that are less lyrical etc. Hip Hop always had its funny tracks as well but that garbage now is FAR beyond trash - its not even hip hop anymore

[@YoungViz]

what makes me even more sad is how no fucking body of the rappers says a fucking word. This makes me believe into Illuminati or at least that somebody in high society is controlling the industry. If all black folks worked together against the industry (as Pimp C wanted and told people to do - month later he died COINCIDENTIALLY) 50 Cent, TI, LL Cool J, Redman, the whole Wu Tang, simply every artists, 90s era, 00s era.... alone Eminem with his popularity but hes a sellout as well. The old Eminem would have never done pop music with Drake SMH You can see the artists just adapting this new school garbage by hopping on Young Thug tracks such as Trae and Yo Gotti - from Gangsta Rap to fucking skinny jeans whatever the fuck you wanna call that.

Sean Stiggers I agree with you about Wayne, he is one of the best rappers when it comes to metaphors. No one ever says he is great at telling a story with his raps because it reality, he's not. It's like Pac can murder Wayne with his style, but Wayne will destroy Pac with his style. Rap is a unique genre that has many different artists with their own unique styles.
