As a 40+ man, i have a lot to say about hip hop vs rap vs gangsta rap vs trap rap vs mumble rap. This man here is the rebirth of HIP HOP! To bad (just like Sean Price) I've outgrown hip-hop and missed out on this when it was new. I trully missed out.

29 here. I’ve thought I’ve grown out of hip hop or so I’ve thought several times. This guy was recently recommended to me and I gotta say he’s a direct clone of other artists like Nas and MF Doom. Their flow gets boring after a while. As a 40+ check out Aesop Rock. He’s around your age and is more his own breed of musician than he is a rapper - although he’s arguably the greatest of all time at straight up rapping

@@maxwell3814 hip-hop has been sold and sold out. Now it's just a tool to keep young Black male feminized and stupid. Feminized outfits, garbage subject matter and little to no flow. Very few artists are actually artists. And the few who are, go nowhere. The baddest rappers I'm hip-hop based on lyrics and subject matter are Tom McDonald's and Marlon Craft. No diss to J.Cole and Joyner Lucas, but as of lately compare lyrics and tell me who are the better more well rounded artists. And be honest.

And as for modern hip hop "feminizing" people, artists have been playing with gender in their outfits for 50+ years now, its nothing new. Prince, Little Richard, Michael Jackson, and even white artists like David Bowie, the whole glam rock era, etc. Millions grew up on that stuff in the 70s & 80s and it didn't "feminize" anyone.
