Wait a god damn minute! This shit is not hip hop music. This is corny ass rap music for lil kids and the suburbs. Please, do not confuse my beautiful hip hop music with corporate slaves. No skills rappers should have their own catagory and stop using name the hip hop to push their bullshit music. The old heads create hip-hop for us. Let the new school fools make their own avenue but they can’t because they have no talent. Don’t lean on the name hip hop music to make money then trash the same music because we call you trash. You can’t have it both ways. Rap is horrible come up with your own name for your corny ass music. Rappers can’t because it takes skills.
Kendrick aint hip hop?
These guys are trash! Where are the real hip-hop artists? We need to separate rap trash from hip hop music. I bought way better records that should be number one on the charts. The music charts are now for watered down rappers from rap years 2000-2018. DEATH TO THE RAP YEARS!
