Most hip hop is missing key musical elements and just isn’t good. I have no idea why the genre became so popular.

It's why I got so into Busdriver for a while. Not a lot of rappers out there trying to rap to a melody instead of just a beat.

Further, even if they are out there, they aren't as popular.

Yeah there is definitely some hiphop that I do enjoy but it’s a small minority of the overall scene.

Not saying it makes you like him but he has the exact same take

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well that’s probably the best argument against my hot take I’ve seen haha.

What till you hear that "hip hop" track that Ben guests on..... Or better yet just don't bother.

The only thing that ole Benny Shaps has ever said even remotely related to music anyone should listen to is him reading the lyrics to Wet Ass Pussy.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

Hah. Yes that was actually funny.

Trash talking, scandalous
