The most critically acclaimed rapper of a wack generation

[-] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

Just because “mainstream” rap isn’t good doesn’t mean people haven’t constantly been releasing quality stuff.

Also, Kendrick is pushing 40 and has been putting out music for 2 decades, so he’s not exactly a part of the younger generation of rappers.

That's certainly in his favor. I called him kid because he's about 10 years younger than me and I was being cute

i can't tell the difference between a guy self-consciously doing conscious jazz rap, who deliberately positions himself as stylistic through-line to the 90s and puts himself in literal conversation with hiphop greats, and his "wack" contemporaries

why pretend to be an old head -- you can just say you've never, once, listened to hip hop lol

I like what I've heard of Lamar so far. I like that stuff that sets him apart. It's many of his contemporaries I don't like.

i mean he’s been mainstream for 14 years now i think we’re well into a new generation after his

I dropped out in mid-late 2000s. Hopng the new shit is more my style.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
