Cypress Hill gave us Die Antwoord

nigga what

neither do u apparently

Master P and no limit records gave us mumble rap and I don't know much about die antwoord other than they fucking blow.

Listen here buddy, Kanye West revolutionized hip-hop. Before College Dropout in 2004 hip-hop was dominated by gangster rap and southern crunk rap. Kanye gave way to an entire generation of backpack rappers and shaped the genre into what it is today. You can see his blatant influence on everyone from Logic, J. Cole, and Lupe Fiasco to Drake, BOB and Mac Miller. Not to mention a discography that goes unrivalled in hip-hop. 7 releases: 4 classics, 3 debatable. Compare that against any highly influential rapper from Jay-Z to Eminem to Snoop Dogg (who's discography is essentially a landfill with flakes of gold littered through out it) and you can see that Kanye West is an extremely influential and creative figure in hip-hop (perhaps top 5 most influential of all time). With that said, Sam Roberts is a dim witted Neanderthal with a tumbleweed flailing around on his misshapen skull. OP, You're a silly cunt and this post was unnecessary drivel.

Thanks Troy!

What a fucking wigger

You never mind

Are you going to list every hip-hop act that existed before 2004 and act like that's a worthy rebuttal? All of those artists sound nothing like Kanye West with the exception of maybe Outkast, whose influence was also immense.

Give Kool Keith a listen.

None of it is moving or poetry or art or has any sort of message that I can hear.

ewww

die

Common, a tribe called quest, the Beastie boys, Kool Keith and a shit ton more early 90's late 80's rappers were "backpack" rappers. Kanye did not revolutionize anything really.

808s and Heartbreaks was one of the worst things to ever happen to the music industry. An entire generation of untalented. skinny black dudes mumbling about their feelings to slow drum machines.

Gentlemen, this not the place to discuss nigger music or culture. I thought we all knew that by now.

nigger
culture

Pick one.

Why argue? Can't we all agree this is soulless, shit music?

Didn't you hear the diss track Yeezy cut on Lil' Uzi? Shit was straight fire tho

Swing and a miss on this one.

Cypress Hill. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard since 1994.

By the way the chick from Die Antwoord is a totally untalented fag hag. I never understood why nerds are so fascinated with her.

When I hear “I listen to Die Antwoord” I picture an overweight computer janitor from flyover country.

Rap is shit music. It's really that simple.

You don't like when niggas with no comprehensive grasp of music theory just write rhymes about bitches and pay some producer to over-engineer it until it actually has basic rhythm and tonality?

Careful, you're triggering the wiggers. They're scrambling to justify being white adults who listen to pop music that is geared towards suburban white girls who be all up in the cluuuub

I love following rap "beefs". "Yo jeezy got DESTROYED when he was dissed by lil' Niggy". It's literally a soap oprah of fake gangsters that appeals to white suburban teens. So fucking cringe worthy. Not to mention, even a good producer like Dr Dre's song are simply stolen compositions by talented people. California Love, for example.

"Sampling:" we're not good enough to make original content.
