Reacting to HOT TAKES from Music Reddit

[@chans6986]

The best part about modern hip hop is the diversity. There's more rap music coming out now than ever and more subgenres than ever before. People who hate on modern hip hop or modern music, in general, have probably only heard a few current artists if they didn't find anyone they liked.

[@daryl7531]

Hip hop never got worse or better since the Internet age. The pool just got bigger so there are a lot more terrible rappers than any other era but there are also a lot more dope rappers.

Referencing that last take, I never understood why some people think you can only like lyrical rap or melodic/mumble/trap rap. Some of my favorite rappers are some of the best wordsmiths ever like Kendrick, black thought, Nas, MF DOOM, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also love listening to Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and Thugger.

I think it’s unfair to put someone like Eminem out of a top 10 list because of catalog and still put Biggie in a higher spot when he has such a small catalog comparably. Who knows what Biggie would have been putting out 10,15 or even 20 years after his death? I feel like all have to be judged on their best projects and compared that way.

I feel like Hip Hop is mainly rivaled by Folk in dynamic storytelling and overall songwriting ability. Both are not always based on technique of vocal range but mostly the emotional deliver and the way it sets a tone. When highlighted both can bring you somewhere. Hip Hop is a bit more layered with hidden complex themes that are more culturally enriched with insider terms. Folk however feels more closer to a novelist showcasing his sense of surrounding and building to an overall ending like a story whereas hip hop often feels like multiple stories in one song like a book of short stories. When done right both are amazing.

[@JC19021]

Favorite folk albums?

[@KevinTheVillian]

Love Folk and Folk punk. I agree with this take big time.

[@Jenklejankles]

I’m the biggest Kanye fan but I totally agree with the rapping take. When you listen to his verses on his first albums, the world play, the personality, the message, all of it is completely perfect. In his recent stuff sure thematically it’s interesting(in terms of the death of his mother, religion and such) but there’s nothing whatsoever that stands out about his bars! The production is wonderful as always but I feel like he’s losing his way a little bit which pains me because he’s one of the greatest artists of all time imo.

[@CaelanDafydd]

I think the biggest problem is his flow. He used to really find his groove on the beat, thinking of songs like Flashing Lights, Heard Em Say & Gorgeous where he sounds great regardless of the bars Compare that to his flow on Hurricane, Eazy, Violent Crimes where he comes off as really stale He's my favourite artist of all time, so I feel like you. At this point I'd rather see him curate, produce, sing and only spit bars rarely when he has something fire to say & is pumped up to do it

[@aryantyagi2137]

My thoughts on every take 1 - I judge artist through consistency, songs, albums, impact/influence, and skill. Eminem is inconsistent, has great songs, solid albums, massive impact, and a lot of skill so i might have him in top 10 but i can see why someone wont 2 - Kendrick is top 5 all time he's amazing in every category 3 - Kanye shows crazy good rapping at moments but it's not something he focuses on a lot of the time 4. Terrible take. People like this priase artist like Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground when they talk about overdosing on herion and prostitutes but god forbid a rapper talks about not being poor anymore. 5 - Half true. Music as a whole is very competitive and that's what makes it fun. 6 - I'm sure this person would love new gen rap if he actual found what he likes as there is so much different types of rap being made in the mainstream and underground. 7 - I hated Thug originally as well can't blame this guy his opinion would probably change after time

I dunno if I explicited my idea in the best way but I tried my best :)

[@Weir.721]

1: I would personally put Eminem in my top five favourites and best rappers of all time. That being said with his significant drop in quality recently and a whole host of less mainstream rappers who are equally good I could understand him not being in a top 10 list, at least if it’s not out of fanboying or hate for him. 2: Kendrick is the best modern rapper by far, I could see for why someone would put him in the top 5 and he’s definitely top 10 (15 if you’re being picky) but I wouldn’t agree with anything above number 4. I don’t have a particularly good reason though, just I feel that the top three are still above him for some reason, feel free to prove me wrong. 3: I don’t listen to any of Kanyes stuff, no real reason I’ve just never bothered so I can’t make a judgment. 4: 4ish years ago I kept hearing mumble rap or crap UK drill on BBC radio, and I thought that was the whole genre so I never listened to it but then I heard my dads Jurassic 5 album and was holy shit that’s great what genre is this, looked it up. Hip hop. Listened to all their songs decided I liked it. Eventually got into more and more stuff and here I am with a 53 hour hip hop playlist. So I can understand why this guy thinks that rap is shit, because he’s probably just heard the same shit I heard on the radio and none of the good stuff knowing it was hip hop. 5: I agree that people take it way to far in the competitive stuff ( that’s right I’m looking at you Eminem fanboys) but if it’s just oh I prefer x rapper for this reason and it’s just a friendly debate or a serious objective talk that can be really fun, and, like you say, almost like a sport. 6: I can heavily relate to the modern rap stuff, I’m very picky with new stuff, i litterally only listen to KL, J Cole, Lil Simz, Denzel curry and a small bit of lil Wayne from the new gen but LOADS of older stuff, it’s just a matter of preference. 7: Don’t listen to any of thugs stuff so I can’t comment.

[@lordrapgod4803]

Saying ‘Modern Rap’ and throwing it all in one big box is crazy to me. In the 90s rap music was fairly new and was strictly bars over beats and it took slow baby steps to even get to that point from where it began in the 70s, because it was brand new and the internet that we have today wasn’t a thing. Obviously when the internet did start coming into play hip-hop began to evolve at a much quicker rate. Hip-Hop evolves year after year. Sometimes it seems like all it takes is one big moment to shift the culture. It can all happen so fast now. It’s crazy to me when people say they only like rap music that came out of the 90s… 30 years later it’s become so big that there are sub genres within the hip-hop umbrella. At the end of the day you simply just need to know what you’re looking for because it’s all out there. It’s just on you to find it. For me I listen to the spitters. Tbh I think it’s as good as it’s ever been if not better in my personal opinion. I don’t fuck with the Carti’s, Uzi’s, Yachty, Trippie etc. but I think it’s super dope that all of that exists for the people who actually do love that. If you don’t like a certain type of hip-hop then that’s fine cause there are so many other sections of the genre that you can explore.

I agree

[@redism5067]

idk what anthony was talking about when he said everybody who trys to copy thugs sound falls flat when lil keed can clone that sound basically perfectly on snake

[@OhioKing_Z]

Great video as always. I would be interested to hear your guys thoughts on why Biggie is top 5 in a video breakdown, if you haven't already. Personally, he does not meet my criteria because I believe there are at least 5 rappers with better lyricism and discogs. Although, when it comes to flow and impact it is hard to deny him. Curious on yall's thoughts on that. Reddit is a wild place with the takes so good idea for a video! lol

[@rusty7104]

would love to see more of these

[@enricoromano6745]

It would be great to see you guys do an « overrated/ over hated » chart with rappers

[@BlaineJeffery]

Music is about creating an emotional connection. Any genre can do it, not every artist can.

[@Chilly_CFC]

Great video again

[@sshadyh]

that guy who said he hates rap clearly has barely heard many rap songs at all

[@dooderman8361]

Addressing the “hip hop fans are obsessed with tier lists” I think this is a stupid take, not because it’s extremely false but because it isn’t saying anything, like what are they even arguing? That music isn’t a competition, but that’s not necessarily what making tier lists is about, it’s more about providing your opinion and talking about what you like and asking the community to talk about what they like. Isn’t that how music conversation goes? People talking about their opinions on it? Idk it seems like a really stupid thing to say, like most fans from different genres like to hear what others think about music, it’s just conversation

[@vessel3845]

NFFRRRRRRR!!!

[@Whodnl]

NFR For life

[@wuspatterwukd9104]

In my opinion no one should be questioning modern rap. While storytelling isn’t as prevalent as it used to be, the rap game has only gotten more and more diverse and experimental, and nowadays I feel that in general rappers focus on every part of the song, as opposed to just honing In on lyricism

[@joshuagranander8885]

here's a hot take for u guys. I hope someone replies because I would acc love to have a talk abt thus take. I think eazy e was the best member of nwa. ik cube wrote most of the songs but I think eazys rapping ability was off the charts and he was the face of the franchise yk. he has the most recognizable voice in hip hop history and is the godfather of ganster rap.

[@chef7532]

im not sure about the take on biggie,, you say kendrick is not at the end of his career but biggie literally dropped what 2 albums and unfortunatley passed so how does that merit being above kdot who i belive has put 4 classic albums all imo better than biggies

[@Aro02]

very valid point

[@Br-yh7hy]

Biggie had more influence

[@brodiestewart3592]

Valid

[@RyanHeinz]

Worst realistic take was obviously Kanye’s lyricism lmao, he’s always been on top of production and lifting other artists

[@nokulungagingxana9736]

why is lil wayne not in there he has done so much for the industry

[@insertname1452]

1. Biggie 2. Nas 3. Jay 4. Pac 5. Kendrick 6. Kanye 7. 3K 8. Cube 9. Dre 10. Eazy

[@hikmatmohammadi]

Man I love this 😂

[@constantinospoyiatzis1210]

Luca is saying that it's too early to have Kendrick as no.1 when Tupac's and Biggie's careers weren't even a decade long...

[@NFRPodcast]

We’ve seen their albums age as classics over decades and their impact on the genre is set in stone! Kendrick will only move up all-time lists as time goes on🙏

[@victorianrat]

I think many people who don‘t feel modern rap fits the standards of old hip hop, when you think of old hip hop you think of Tupac and Biggie and Jay Z. Now you may think of mainstream rappers or pop rap such as Lil Mosey or Lil Baby, etc. instead of thinking about Kendrick, Cole, JID, Denzel, Saba, etc. These takes are just not educated.

[@GV_777YT]

whats a Young Thug Album is best to get in to for a total beginner?

[@OhThatsLo]

Slime season, Slime season 2, Rich gang Tha tour part: 1, and Barter 6 in that order!!!!! 🫡

[@pushat4437]

punk and so much fun for beginer and barter 6 obvious;y then jeffery then beautiful thugger girl and them all the slme series

[@Kaizerchief11]

Listen to off the grid from Donda. He’s still got it in terms of rapping ability

[@KushBrahh]

7:30 he’s taking about the moneybag yo’s and the key glocks of hip hop. That person probably heard one song by dababy and said “this how all hiphop sounds fuck this” you gotta actually dig and find the right artist for you. I feel anybody can enjoy hip hop if they find the right artist/s

[@alem2443]

thug is the best vocalist

[@igobyxoxomusicunderaxlprks9000]

my brother Young Kayo's new albums is phenomenal

[@i.turn.tables6455]

You guys should do more of these. Kind of like a Fantano Let’s Argue

[@samuelwager2181]

5:50 I agreed with this take… when I was a 10 year old because I was raised on older music like Motown, also because I was a stupid god damn 10 year old.
