Complaints About Rappers You Like

Surell · 06-01-2009, 05:32 PM

I enjoy Rick Ross' rapping, but he doesn't tell us much about him, or things he feels feelings about, or about Miami, or whatever. He seems like a man who's in Rap for the money, even though he could be putting something out there that people can learn a little from. Maybe with more listening I'll uncover something but I'm done here for now.

How about you guys.

Ying Yang Twins. They say the most foul, incomprehensible things I've ever heard, but I love it. And it sells. It seems as though they could say something more positive and no one would ever know.

Like how you described Rick Ross... it's a shame they don't take more than money seriously.

I am a bit pissed that I know Chipmunk, a young and great Grime MC, is going to sell out. He is so good...

so Deeper than Rap didn't tell you more about Rick Ross? I thought it would.

I've only gotten 5 tracks in on one listen. But maybe it will; that's where the "more listening" part kicks in. ;D

Nas has a pretty terrible ear for beats for the most part [Illmatic doesn't count]

And Nas is top 2 in my mind, still. But it still bothers me.

I agree. Nas on some of his albums has some terrible beats. Illmatic and Stillmatic are pretty good though. Gods Son was ok but a few of those beats were recycled.

I concur...But everyone seems to allways forget about his "It was Written" album,his best album imo.

I guess I'll be the 1st to say that as much as I like Aesop, his lyrics are a bit unintelligible at times and I wish he wasn't always so cryptic.
