Why is it cool to hate conscious and lyrical rappers on here?

    It seems like being edgy people on here think makes them look mature or something. While I agree some rappers come off as genuinely corny like Hopsin, Macklemore, MGK, G Eazy, Tech N9ne, Immortal Technique, etc, most if not all of the other lyrical miracle or backpack rappers people trash on here aren't corny whatsoever.

    Like people are really saying Kendrick Lamar, one the best mcs of this era is corny because of the praise TPAB got. Fyi trying to even out reception by shi--ing on something or someone is f---ing stupid. It doesn't make you look smarter at all. Theres people here who would vote for Playboy Carti if he was in a poll vs J Cole. Eminem, one of the greatest lyricists to touch a mic is seen as inferior to f---ing Plies on here. I just don't understand. After the corny Kendrick thread was featured I was through lol

    Do you hate the rappers or do you really just hate the fans and try to spite them?

    I love sx80 but the fact that a lot of rappers i consider serious artists (like IT, Tech, Royce) are frowned and looked down upon...I wish this unwarranted hate would end

    Man Kendrick's fans sure are pissed after that thread.

    Don't think anyone even said we hate him, we just said he was corny lol..

    Royce gets hate bc he's on Shady. Only reason I'd say IT is corny is bc his songs come off as appealing to teenagers who watch Illuminati youtube videos (even though DWTD is a classic)

    Not the fanbase its the way his messages come off. Its like "the government is lying to you I don't vote I hate Obama bc the govt is a joke". Its very overbearing sometimes and i used to like IT

    Tech N9ne is a legend regardless of how his music comes off or who his fans are so he at the very least deserves respect.

    first of all "consciousness" =/= lyrical, let's just get that out of the way
    secondly, because shut the f--- up. no one wants to hear the same gay 4thastreets s--- from some nobody who thinks hes profound and shining light on a struggle. Music is fun. It doesn't need a deeper meaning, and not everyone who has one can make a good song out of it.
