What unpopular opinions do you have? Hip-Hop/Rap edition

- ‘Ether’ saved Nas’ career

- Five best white rappers not named Eminem, in no particular order, El-P, G-Eazy, MC Search, Paul Wall, RA the Rugged Man.

- B-Real from Cypress Hill is the best Latino rapper ever not named Big Pun. Others in the convo, Immortal Technique, Chino XL, Noreaga, Juelz Santana

- Tha Alkaholics are an underrated West Coast group, they made good music.

- Fat Joe is overrated.

This ain't opinion this is fact

You right but ummm

If you counting Juelz as Dominican than Fab is one of the greatest Latino or not.

And Joel Ortiz is definitely top on that list top. Lloyd Banks too.

shout out Bodega Bamz

AZ!

And Beatnuts

Hold on Dres!

And OF COURSE TONY TOUCH.

I don’t like most of J. Coles music on his own. I like his verses when he does features. Most of his music on his own does nothing for me. :sad:
A lot of people got mad at me for this take

I'll give a popular opinion that no one wants to say outloud. Jay Z was and is a horrible MC. He can make great beats but can't flow for shit.

I had a friend in college tell me that Project Pat was better than Jay-Z. I guess it all comes down to perspective, but i've always been partial to new york sound. I've listened to jay a lot more than project pat but to each their own i guess :dunno:
 


Cardi B is undefeated in these guest verses

Closest was Latto

But Cardi can rap Latto too.

And all these clones keep getting worse and worse

BUT TO BE CLEAR

you CANNOT be up here clutching pearls about these ratchet girl rappers

if the crack dealing women beating pimp kicking pregnant women in their belly hating dark skin women ho and b*tch calling pill popping gangsta thug pimp drug dealing lil drill music rappers didn't bother you.

NOPE.

That sh*t was going on FAR LONGER and caused much more headaches and left way too many scars and exists way to.much today to conveniently SKIP OVER THAT SH*T to attack the girls.
 
Ice Spice amuses the f*ck out of me.

She says the exact same things on every single track

But those beats are insane and perfectly tailored for her and each one can stand on its own.
 
Everyone hates Eminem & Drake

But SOMEBODY bought all those records

And funny cause a whole lot if rappers stole they style too.

I agree with the clutching pearls part

hip-hop isnt the only music that we created thats lasted for decades and influences the world. Rock and Roll and Jazz being the other two. African American contribution to world culture and American culture is undeniable even tho there are many who try to deny to this day.

Stupid hot take; unpopular opinion.

Drake is a top 10 artist. NOT MC, NOT rapper. But, artist.

I base this strictly on three factors.

1) The shit that he makes that’s heat, is HEAT.

2) Dude has been in the game what, 15+ years and not only hasn’t he slowed down or faded out as trends in hip-hop and fan bases have changed, he’s arguably as popular (or more), then when I thought he’d peak 5-7 years ago.

3) Still in high demand on features and by every artist, new or who’s looking to extend their 15. Get a Drake verse, get a hit, because dude doesn’t seem to put his name on any beats at this point that aren’t top tier.

He ain’t my cup of tea but I have to give credit and respect where due.

What's crazy is I don't disagree with anything you said and yet I still couldn't name a single Drake song off the top of head.
I can think of dozens of features where Drake damn near steals someone's song. But his solo music just never clicked with me :dunno:
