"I preach from my ass, my farts is my sermon, the church is my mouth where I shoot my holy sperm in," is legit an amazing rhyme.
Da Struggle is a good rapper-name tbh
Yeah but that's actually a good song on an even better album.
What song/album is that?
Kids See Ghosts
Wow, how did I not know lmao. Thanks m8. I guess having a few drinks and only hearing a snippet made me not recognize it!
Ay man say what you will about 6ix9ine and his existence, but songs like this are so over the top and aggressive that they are fun. There is a place for them in music, just like there is a place for 6ix9ine in prison.
Sometimes you're just angry and you gotta get it out
Id have to aggree. Not a fan of 6ix9ine nor MGK but they make loud aggressive songs that sometimes just fit your mood/playlist. I got a few of their songs in a playlist just because the theme fits. Not on my main playlist tho
MGK makes early 2000s pop punk style now.
Just listen to city morgue instead.
WHOOP
OKAY
WHASSUP
MOOLAH
Kinda like M.O.P back in the day
Is there anything quite like that shameful feeling of bopping along to music that you know is objectively trash, but that you can't help enjoying anyways?
"ok fine, i like the beat, just,,, please don't listen too closely to the lyrics...."
Sometimes I'm driving and it'll hit me that I've basically been listening to Human Music for a good bit of the journey.
Sounds like me when I end up listening to the most generic idol J-pop/denpa music and somehow can't stop.
^^tODOKETE-
Snow Halation is high art
I will admit to having had a similar relationship with MSI. It's a weird cocktail of enjoyment and cringe.
I watched arcane, and I've never enjoyed Imagine Dragons, and specifically disliked the intro song, but then I started to associate the song with the show I liked, and now I think I like the song quite a bit and it feels weird.
This man compared 6ix9ine to MGK lol
Everybody should check out ZillaKami and the City Morgue projects between him and SosMula. Shit's hard as fuck and they aren't pedophiles.
Call me crazy but only good thing about City Morgue is the visual aesthetic of the artists. The hype isn't interesting enough for how bad the lyrics are. All the other white boy mob sounds much better.
I know zilla and sos aren't white but their subgenre is decidedly white boy mob
Real Nathan energy in this comment
Nathans are the core listeners of white boy mob
Idk I prefer Zilla over like Ghostemane and stuff. $uicideboy$ are obviously genre-defining for it and their shit is good, but the hype and how their voices sound make me prefer City Morgue. I don't really ever watch music videos or follow social or anything, so I only really consider the auditory aspect of it. And shit's lit af
Crazy how tastes differ, I’d take any of them over zilla for flow and sound. I guess I’ll have to give CM another few album listens. What’s your favorite album?
Try Zilla's solo record, Sos is just holding Zilla back IMO.
Ok, there were some good songs in there. The lil peep half of the album was pretty good, and the other half that was just more boring versions of BADASS (a single lo-fi 4 bar distorted riff over a simple beat), was pretty, well, boring. And goddamn those lyrics remain to be awful. I'd love to see him live though, I bet he puts on an amazing show, just kind of boring when the energy is compressed into a studio track. Definitely some hitters that I'll come back to though, a lot better than any CM stuff.
It's weird how people were okay with 6ix9ine being a pedophile but not with him being a snitch
Who was ok with that? I always see people shitting on him for being a pedophile
I see a lot more ppl making snide jokes about him being a snitch but this is a very unscientific observation
I am clearly an uncultured swine cause I know of the person, but not the controversies.
I try to know as little about him as possible. I knew the snitch thing but not the pedophile thing
I mean his top 5 on spotify all have over 200m streams so someone's definitely still listening
I mean look at gimme the loot, it's pretty much the same type of song from a different era, albeit with some better wordplay
I think it's called "drill". It might be a bit different but it's very similar.
So are the ix and ine silent or is it sixix-nineine?
The second is how I always say it regardless of what it actually is lol
As an extremely white man, i have to settle for Limp Bizkit when I want to enjoy this sort of vibe.
Ay man say what you will about 6ix9ine and his existence,
That's he's a convicted pedophile and I don't want to listen to him because of that?
I was expecting him to have a stutter with a name like sixixnineine
Putting his music against something completely different makes for hilarious haikus

Wow that was awful.
It's an older meme, but it checks out.

I was always fond of this one
ok that second song SLAPS tho
They have Christian hardbass in Russia too
That's a Greek Orthodox sermon you pleb.
Over the top, aggressive/obscene raps have been part of hip hop since the late 80's, early 90's, hasn't it?
Unrelated, but the song that Biggie sampled in "Juicy" is "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume and it fucking slays. In case somebody didn't know the original.
[deleted]
I was about to comment on that but I'm not that knowledgeable about Biggie's catalog. I was actually thinking about posting hit'em up by 2pac because it's contemporary and it literally refers to the infamous beef between 2pac and biggie (which is also when "real gangster shit" i.e. shootings and stuff really entered hip hop mainstream right?)
[deleted]
and they fell victim to it
if by 'it' you mean 'Suge Knight'
Sampling is what made hip-hop so iconic. And thanks to that I find the dope tracks the samples are from. Cheers, dude.
IIRC copyrighting hurt that part of the industry because it made it harder to sample.
paul's boutique would need bill gates tier financial backing
Over the top, aggressive/obscene raps have been part of hip hop since the late 80's, early 90's, hasn't it?
Hell, look at NWA
also if you compare someone who is a contender for GOAT to a one hit wonder or gimmick rapper from any decade you'll get something similar
Damn man, thanks for that. I had no idea what it was from but that’s a good tune.
honestly a really fun beat switch
I actually saw this video years ago, and from it found out who 69 was and I actually enjoyed some of his music including the song in the video. 🤷🏻♂️
The great thing about the streaming age is that you really do not need to care. If you enjoy a specific subgenre, there very likely are a bunch of artists out there just waiting to be discovered, and you can just not listen to others. You have that choice.
I feel like "ugh modern rap is so bad and annoying why can't they go back to old school rap" is a culture war that ended about 5 years ago.
That’s so true but that war started decades ago and will unfortunately never end. There will always be the ‘no true Scotsman’ folk out there for any genre. It’s a tale as old as music itself!
Biggie has made some pretty violent music
There's still plenty of good rap out there, despite what you hear on the radio. Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, Run the Jewels, and Aesop Rock, just to name a few.
JID
He hasn't dropped much but features and a loosie here and there since dicaprio 2 unfortunately.
Need me some more JID
Album coming… album’s been almost done for like 18months lol
And Earthgang
All my homies love Earthgang
You know until this second I didn't make the connection of 151 rum with league/arcane. Dudes got flow that I am all about
Buttermilk Jesus
MF DOOM, if you're really up for it.
Aesop and basically anybody else that's signed with Rhymesayers is pretty damn good. I'm a huge fan of Eyedea & Abilities
That's a throwback, but they were awesome. Atmosphere and Prof are also the shit.
I don't think I've listened to anything by Prof yet, but I'll check him out. I've listened to Atmosphere for a long time now and found my way into a few other artists like Brother Ali, Grieves, and Aesop, which is how I found Eyedea. I was about 3 years old when First Born released, so I wasn't exactly a listener at the time, but man it makes me wish more people could hear the things these guys say. And Eyedea's work under other names is pretty awesome too, Oliver Hart and Carbon Carousel.
Joey Badass has been surprising me lately
Flatbush Zombies are always hot
More Phonk, less hip hop: Pharmacist, Ghostface Playa
Zack Fox is pretty good and quite satirical (RIP Betty White)
Logic (especially his recent Wu tang Collab)
On that note, Wu tang still goes hard
Atmosphere has achieved classic status in my mind
Absolutely second the RTJ recommendation
The new Zack Fox album is rap gold. Short and sweet, every track is top tier.
My problem is like 95% of the songs I like have a very slow intro and my prime music time is when I'm exercising.
It's really hard to keep your rhythm on a heavy bag when every song wants to have 30 seconds of bullshit before their song starts.
Tell me about it. I like the band Starset, but they tend to have long, unnecessary intros and outros that made me not put their songs in my playlists.
2 minute song. 2 minute outro with space mumbling in the background.
I still love STARSET, but sometimes it's a bit much
Stop Breathing by Playboi Carti extra points if you listen to the narcissist tour version on YouTube
Try some hardcore punk or metal, shit bangs
Run the Jewels makes up 50% of my workout playlist
Boomer meme, plenty of rappers like Biggie around with millions of monthly followers.
"New thing bad"
But also, fuck 6ix9ine.
video is four years old.
ok boomer
listen the only real music is motzart totzart poptartz and betahoven. OK?
I kinda wish people would accept that rap/hip-hop is so big now that there are increasingly divergent macro-genres that just aren't all that similar to each other anymore. We did it for rock music and everybody involved is better off for it
Country music, alternative, punk, and heavy metal music all come from the same musical tradition, have the same forefathers and legacies, use the same instruments. But we recognize that at this point, they are so different from each other that lumping them together is just an academic exercise. There are country and alternative and even some punk radio stations, and those stations will only rarely ever play a song that overlaps with another station. A person can be a fan of some of those genres and detest other ones
ah yes, modern rap is so uncultured, unlike Biggie "literally records himself getting a blowjob and puts it on a record" Smalls.
r/redditmoment
this sub has really gone to shit
See you in 6 months
2 Americas
Really poorly aged repost
How dare there be variety in a genre of music
Still better than mumble rap.
So cool lol
The award show acceptance speech was really the peak of rap. /s
Song links plz?
One is Biggie the other is 6ix9ine. Not sure specific songs though.
Can confirm: video is incorrect. The bars are audible and not rapped in triplets. Also, grunting and bird whistles are not present per International Rap Law 2020s.
This shit is so corny, the youtube comments reek of basement dwelling neckbeards.
I’ll take that over the mumble rappers. At least act a little bit stoked that you’re a famous rapper lol.
They rapped about the same stupid shit. They're both the bad side of rap.
Not in these songs they didn't
Cherry picking, rap was like that back then sometimes, too.
man this video is old af
Lul, I guess the "ABSOLUTE STATE OF THE RAP GAME" is a 4-year-old track by a single rapper, who is literally known exclusively for making super angry music.
Also hasn't released a song in three years
Who is also a lil bitch and joined a gang to look cool
has 20 Ms now so who really won
His album when he got out was just over a year ago.
oh shit that's my bad i completely forgot about Gooba and TattleTales, I was just thinking of dummy boy cause I actually listened to a couple of those songs
Cut 6ix9ine some slack, he's also known for sexual contact with a child and testifying against his fellow Nine Trey Gangsters.
Unless you meant that he's known for exclusively making super angry music. Which is also true.
I don't understand how he still has a career after he snitched
Because people can still use him to make money
What I mean is why are people still buying his records? He tries to sell himself as a gangster rapper but he snitched on other gangsters, which is fucking low.
Probably bc they like his music. Idk man he’s pretty popular.
Just seems weird he's built he's whole persona around being a gangster/tough guy then totally went against it and proved himself to be anything but. I guess it was always an act anyway when you see photos of when he was younger so his followers never really cared that much about authenticity in music.
Yeah you’re right. Just people liking his chaotic lifestyle etc, and his music also with it. Most have already forgotten the whole fake gang thing. Lol he keeps like 10 bodyguards around him all the time, so he is scared for sure. I mean he fucked over people. So I guess it’s warranted. But we’ll see if anything ever happens.
Funnily enough I made the comment but that just put it into perspective
Fuck he was relevant 4 years ago, how the time flies
Man just stfu and have a laugh.
