To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules; - Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
- When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
- No reposting of old material unless justified
- Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
- No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
- Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
- No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
- No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
- Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up. |

I wouldn't go as far as to say that all is required is that particular subject matter, but some weight carried in the words has always been a big part of hiphop. With few exceptions hiphop has regardless of subject matter been the arena of working class, disenfranchised black people, and more recently been adopted by other cultures. It's not just a style of singing. Legitimacy as a rapper is subjective, but I think as someone who has been listening to it for 25 years or so I'm as qualified as anyone here to pass judgement.

Implying that's what we're talking about.
It's almost night and day the difference between Nas's Illmatic, compared to the stuff being released now.
I guess to keep discussion more K related, look at lyrical content behind some of Tablo's stuff, and compare to G-dragon's stuff.
Rap in its basic form is just a tool, a way to portray or lay out information.
The legitimacy of rap is more so the framing of subject matter, often about social constructs, philosophy, political discourse (to a lesser extent) etc etc.

Illmatic is considered one of the greatest albums in rap history. Obviously he doesn't put out the same level of content as he use to, I don't deny that. But, to deny Nas of his accomplishment with illmatic would be ignorant.

Nas is a mc, not a rapper. to call him a rapper is to shit on all the praise you've blindly heaped upon him.
any person that's actually into the genre would recognize it as such.

Funny, he seems to refer to himself as a rapper in his own songs.
Here's one I found quickly.
Romanian ladies like Casablanca, Casbah. 'Cept we in the VIP area, that's ours. You know the real rap gods, typical trap star turned rap star.
That's enough derailing for me tonight. Anyone have any new Korean music for me?
