When Rappers Go Too Far

-----
In hip-hop, the temptation to do audacious and overstretch yourself is easy to understand. After all, the genre is more crowded than ever and in order to get a piece of that coveted real estate, it’s been proven that sometimes, it takes a lot more than lyrical acumen or a couple of serviceable songs to break out.
But where someone of the caliber of Eminem has his mentor Dr Dre to tell him when he was going “too far” on Kamikaze and compelled him to tone it down, it’s safe to say that when ambition takes the lead over common sense, little can stop you from making an error that a veteran may be able to avoid.
With that said, it’s time to delve into times in which rappers, in pursuit of fame, clout, street credentials or some combination of the three, have gone too far.

Wait until hip hop finds out how much diamonds are over priced. Rappers have been scammed outta millions for worthless stones that are worth less than 1/100th than the price they paid for them

@@sirraldnus8590 I totally agree! it’s Weird though because gold and silver has been manipulated to keep the price lower than it should be Big central banks sell gold to one another by the Ton. They never exchange physical gold between them. They only buy and sell tons of gold and silver to one another on paper because the price they claim to have bought or sold the tons of gold/silver sets the price for the rest of the market.

11:25 I especially like this moment right here. It's actually chilling to hear how people who done their time actually talk and present themselves. There is this eerie weight to the most ordinary words. They are not proud of having to endure hardships and commiting crimes, most of the time they didn't see or didnt have other choice, it's not some fun pastime that you can "enjoy", so it must feel incredibly disheartening hearing some random fake glorifying your violence and loss that entails it, while having zero idea what's that really like to go through.

Honestly, just making great music and being more skilled than everyone will get you into the spaces you need to be. You don't need the gimmicks or even necessarily the popularity. The greats will find you if you're truly skilled. A perfect example of this is KAAN. KAAN just flat out outrapped and outworked everyone. Now KAAN is working with Dr. Dre and Busta Rhymes on a 30 song album, and he work with/hangs out in the same social circles/studios of guys like J Cole, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dog, Freddie Gibbs, The Game etc. Focusing on the aesthetic is cool and all, but, ultimately, the music is what matters. That's what shines through at the end of the day and creates lasting longevity and timeless art. This is why XXXtentacion was so great imo. He not only had a great sense of aesthetics and optics, but he also had the skill and musical quality to match.

[@myjciskate4]

💯 KAAN is incredible. The same can be said for JID, too. They're not anywhere as popular as a lot of other artists, but they're highly, highly respected by the greats, because they're once in a generation artists with immense skill. In other words, "Get Good".

[@bp2000k]

X was a big „what if“ imo. To call him a legend is still too far to me but man he was so creative & talented. He was trying to get better but he was taken away. I would Imagine him with Kanye,Kendrick,Baby Keem,Denzel Curry, Cudi or Joey badass (Even they made something together).

[@blodiaaa6990]

Kendrick and Cole are other examples

[@musicthemusicalperson4316]

@@blodiaaa6990 Yeah, I was gonna say Kendrick and Cole, but I wanted a more recent example. KAAN came up during the SoundCloud era, yet still managed to climb up the ranks with a more lyrical style. I'd probably add JID and Benny the Butcher to that list, since they both kind of came out around the same time.

As an outsider to modern rap I am sorry but I can't appreciate/understand the appeal of guys like Travis Scott and Uzi vert and Kodak. I grew up in the oldschool where rhymes and beats mattered. I recently watched a few minutes of Vert at some festival this summer and it was straight trash. The dude was "rapping" to backing tracks the entire time and only rapped when he wasn't jumping around with the ridiculously oversized clothes on. It sucked. But there were legions of loyal fans in the comments saying that it was the best set he's ever done etc. It truly made me realize how out of touch with new rap I am. I just don't get it and can't quantify the total lapse in quality. Meanwhile at the same festival Action Bronson was ripping the mic, flawless clarity on every word and no backing tracks. Just raw beats and raps. That's fucking rap. We need more Griselda and less this bullshit. The artform is dying.

I would argue that "Dead Bitches" coming out after people like Von and Durk dissing him for "Chicago Legends" and saying they want him to drill him seems like a natural reaction. It's all moot anyway, Von and Duck are dead, and Durk is gonna catch a rico imo. I would argue that Duck was one of the smartest people from his area, since he has the ability to introspect, and understand his own motivations. On a more possitive note Duck's mum has been with it when it comes to speaking out against the inherent bullshit of street politics, three(?) sons dying to it can't be an easy thing to bear.
