>rapper: ayo shieeet whitey is fuckin keepin us down nigga
keepin us down like the kangs in egypt nigga
>white kid: this is genius.

Not all black music is rap.
Not all rap is racist.
Not all rap is made by black people.

Shing02

Czarface is the best wu affiliated project to come out in a long time

Hazmat Rap is grizly af

>all these newfags don't know about immortal technique

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Not these that's for sure

end thy life

Based

I think the fact that he raps about social issues constantly on TPaB gets him way more credit than he deserves.

Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is pretty incredible compared to most rap projects, though.

...

zappa

capital steez

Second. And Blu

Not him but can you provide 1 (one) excerpt from any of those rappers' lyrics that is Veeky Forums-worthy? Not that that's even a particularly high standard

this

aesop rock

Do you faggots only listen to rap?

No.

I only listen to rap and Maynard James Keenan.

youtube.com/watch?v=aBP5G2IIOPY

>Maynard James Keenan.
This is acceptable.

King Crimson can tell stories and recite prose to a degree
Moondog seems to be quite a good lyricist too

Al Stewart
youtu.be/N_ZG6tRGMYk

too much rap

youtu.be/ae5ckJTB5o8

It is kinda a gimmick rapper, he's insanely fast but that's about it

I don't hate it but don't listen to it that much, it's just not my thing.

Idk why everyone is obsessed with it though

kendrick is good, but not impressive lyrically and not Veeky Forums

Rap is boring as hell

Why would you listen to anything else whiteboi?

DOOM easily

Seems like its all that's ever posted in these threads.
Because I'm not much of a fan and I'm not a nigger or white-trash nigger wannabe.
No offense to niggers.

>Immortal Technique

I liked him when I was 16, too.

Nah but really, he has some good lines but he is kinda gimmicky like the other user said. There are artists out there that do what he does but much better. Check out Blue Scholars, Brother Ali, Hieroglyphics, etc.

white rap is even worse
>white rapper:ayo i wish was black i am such a cuck
>white kid: this is genius too

It is kinda a gimmick rapper, he's sick fast but not much else

>rap isn't really my thing

Something more interesting

Hipster hop shit

Probably Aesop Rock

>They call me Jay Elec China jeans, Jay Elec lima beans. Jay Elec Elijah, put the mime inside the time machine.

what did he mean by this?

>Something more interesting

Like what?
You realize its not the 90s anymore, Rap is as vibrant and experimental as Jazz now

I listen to everything stooge

If you don't like rap your a busted up fuccboi for sure

My favorite artist at the moment is Cat Power. Go listen to her song "Metal Heart."

heeeeeeeeelllllllllllooooooooo reddit!

>if you have an opinion that's different from mine, you're a fedora
I just don't like the majority of rap. I'm not against it, I just don't like it.
Faggot.

>everything above my head is reddit

>aesop rock
>above anyones head
hes entry level "woke rap"

I'M THE SPIRITUAL LYRICAL MIRACLE CLERICAL SPHERICAL TYRANICAL INDIVUAL!!!!!!

>above my head

he's pseud incarnate
the walter benjamin of rap

>personally I'm more of a metal fan, its cool if you're not into it though

I just don't prefer it, most of it is too poppy and I get tired of the style of it

I don't get how people can listen to nothing but rap all the time, I can only listen to a little before it starts to wear me out.
Rap is like what country music was 10 years ago (at least where I am), every wannabe is obsessed with it.
Even worse because it's "ethnic" so hipsters lap it up.

Every "woke" black person is a pseud but we can't call them out on it.
Black intellectualism died with the Harlem renaissance

name one song aesop has ever written that had a theme of "woke" you retarded nigger

>Rap is like what country music was 10 years ago

I don't even like Aesop Rock, I just nominated him as most Veeky Forums rapper because he probably has more references from literature than any other rapper. Most others just reference pop culture like movies and comics and shit.

Jeff Mangum

Yea it is
It's "alternative" and popular with every thicko and normie
Maybe not where you were but my area country and folksy stuff was really popular, especially with hipsters trying to be "authentic" country boys
Now they all love rap
Rap hasn't been good since the 90s and every then it was becoming too commercial, now I really don't like any modern rap.
I just get worn out when people talk about it endlessly just like when people talk on and on about sports. Both are dreary.

what music do you listen to

aesop rock is very much above many peoples heads

Try this on

Eyedea and Guru wrote some seriously intelligent shit.

pudding.cool/2017/02/vocabulary/index.html

Folk and "country" are really different genres.
Anyway I think it has way more of a comparable place as rock used to in the past.
Its not at all viewed as alternative, its mainstream as shit

He said in his AMA on reddit that he doesn't even read:

"ha. i don't really read novels. the only thing i really read is science magazines. i do like movies a lot. like almost any movie, doesnt matter."

Mostly rock/prog rock and variants
I listen to a fair amount of electronic, Japanese jazz fusion, and various modern composers like James Dillon or Varese as well as romantic ones. I have a soft spot for Philip glass but he's almost a pop star of a composer.

/ourguy/

eyedea is very Veeky Forums

Hey Dad, funny seeing you here

eyedea was pretty cool

a bit of a pseud but had genuine interest in subjects at least, put out a bunch of raw stuff that showed potential, and then overdosed on pills

Referencing books you haven't read is pure Veeky Forums

I'm not interested in what people think is popular

this is the track that put me on my ass when i read the lyrics.
youtube.com/watch?v=DABmDz4RxoU

his freestyles were really impressive too. it amazes me that people can do it at even a basic street lingo level but holy shit.
youtube.com/watch?v=P3pxaTtFvqM

actually now that i think about he was really lit: kind of a dick in person and thought he was better than everyone else even though he was a drunk who constantly put out half-polished work

maybe like the ginsberg or bukowski of rap?

What you're saying is you have accepted the castration, how's it feel being a ninny little eunuch?

>not exclusively listening to classical
Top kek, have fun with your fashion """music"""

Is this board filled with darkies or just wigger?

You'd be surprised how many black dudes are actually on Veeky Forums

I think you're confusing this board with your mother.

Hoh lad

Being this ignorant. I are you serious? Its like you don't read any contemporary author published in the 21st century. I just purchased 6 poetry collections by great black writers that are changing the form of contemporary poetry. I don't know what planet you are from.

This. Although Blacks only make up 13% of the population on Veeky Forums, they commit 53% of shitposts.

Cool, post them
