    ok, but would a rapper ever call their music "mumble rap"? It's an inherently negative term. It's only used to to describe black (inb4 post malone), southern rappers who have thick accents and speak with a lot of regional slang. Even if you don't mean it to be racial, it's rooted in race at least somewhat.

    how is black thought "technically" better than wayne? he has maybe three flows over a 20-plus year career, whereas wayne was easily the most inventive stylist of the 2000s. this is what i'm talking about, man. you're riding for aesthetics and dressing it up as "skill." it's corny. it got played out in 1997. (not even gonna touch your ludicrous bs about "social consciousness.")

    future and thug have both used that triplet flow on a handful of songs, sure--they're contemporary rappers and it was the dominant flow in contemporary rap for nearly five years. it doesn't define either of their styles, and the fact that you think it does underscores how out of your depth you are.

    "ha ha future has an accent from his birth country OMG HE MUMBLES HAHAHAH! I CANT UNDERSTAND HIM "HIBBIDA BIBBIDA HIDDA" HHAHAHAHA"

    sounds somewhat racist to me tbh, especially when compared to a similar situation

    "ha ha Zhao Feng has an accent from his birth country OMG HE CANT SPEKA ENGLISH RICKY CHING CHONG MUDA FUKA DONG WING SUN" HAHAHAHAHHA"

    alright

    with ya so far
    I'm not arguing for that at all, nor do I consider it a subgenre so this irrelevant af to the discussion we are personally having about it
    that's on you then

    cause it's not that complicated

    sounds like mumbling = could be called mumble rap

    there's no extra context in it for me, there's no baggage. it just is what it is

    1. Till i collapse , Stan and Yellow Brick Road has better writing than Pac's entire catalogue
    2. This was about how hard it is to write, and not about how good you (because contrary to what you think, your opinons aren't fact) think they are. And even post hiatus eminem songs are much more complex both content wise and technically than anything tupac could dream of. Tupac has nothing on groundhog day's level .

    Tupac not even a top 10 rapper. It's a pretty cliche and hipster opinion to consider him one. Which is why i'm not surprised you think he's better than nas

    don't care either way
    it's not racial ffs

    i would think this about literally anyone, white, black, asian, southern, northern w.e that sounds like that when they rap

    you guys are seriously trying to overthink the whole thing

    I don't think you know what hipster means.

    A hipster would say someone like Del the Funky Homosapien is the best.

    I never talked about technique I talked about lyrics.
    Give me a good Young Thug bar that outshine the rappers that I mentioned lyrics.
    Did you really listen to the Last Emperor?
