    Royce
    Schoolboy Q
    Kendrick
    Joey Badass
    Banks
    Eminem
    Nas (Released one song and album is coming so that is still now?)
    Lupe
    Killah Priest (Just see a tracklist for album so i guess hes right now too)
    Ghostface

    You can argue that Em fell off or whatever but hes still a good rapper just making shtty music and the OP is about rapping

    I don't like it because it's weird. I like it because its unique, different than the s--- you listen to.

    What the f--- are you talking about a photocopy of a fax of a poor translation of the real thing?

    I've never been to a yung lean show.

    So in your delusional mind Lean is a super special person/character/artist, who makes incredibly unique music and noone's ever sounded like him.

    but young thug is dismissible?

    are you f---ing kidding me.

    I had young thug on my list. I just don't pretend he's something he's not. Which is a generic trap rapper

    ok I'll pretend that all or nothing, V6 or cold corner 2 are as good as his previous projects.. most people would disagree with you there though.

    Game has never been a great rapper lol. and YOU CAN'T TELL ME that RED and Jesus Piece and Wolf were anywhere near as good as the documentary or doctors advocate. It's clear as DAY that Game doesn't even know who he is anymore as he imitates a chameleon and pretends to rap like whoever is on the track with him.

    Yikes at the sneak diss

    Bro you coming off as the epitome of a pitchfork writer, the pretentious argumentative blogger with a counter-counter-culture ideaology who assumes he has everything figured out and refuses to entertain a thought that doesn't agree with his own

    he has more range emotionally than lean, about 500x the material, covers a variety of topics, has never once sounded "generic" no matter what type of beat he's on, etc...but to you he's a "generic trap rapper"

    do you just say things dude?

    like, i hope it's clear im REALLY trying to understand your thought process for everything you've been saying so far.

    how the f--- is Yung Lean creative and unique, and Thug, who's voice can span multiple octaves, delivery can go from something like Lean or Future's to Danny Brown or like f---in' Meek Mill, who's never approached a track with a standard flow, etc, "generic"


    jesus f---ing christ kid, take a seat.

    To be fair, you guys should also stop calling Mac Miller a legend

    and you know Im in your camp as far as the quality of last 3 projects goes

    im the sole reason he was on our top 25 albums of the decade list lol

    cept that couldn't be farther from the truth


    I got so pissed wasting my time with people like you, who in the end prove they'd rather go the victim route than have an intelligent discussion.

    after all the DIRECT responses Ive given to EVERY point you've brought up...this is the kind of response I get

    waste of my time...

    i think that's a pretty easy metaphor to follow

    the fact that you think young thug is either generic or a trap rapper means you don't know what the f--- you're talking about. i'm sorry, it's just true.

    i love talking with people who disagree with me--just not people like this guy who is championing yung lean

    its pretty funny that some of these kids think that about mac miller.

    it's one thing if you like him, or think he's a great rapper (a stretch) but to say he'll go down as a legend? LOL...

    Consensus hip hop legends= nas, eminem, jay-z, dr dre, p---- c, 2pac, big, etc. s--- like that. not mac miller, sorry guys.

    @WPG what's a good place to start with lil herb? Is he more of a feature artist or does he shine on solo projects?
