Careente7: Bro you ain’t cappin’,you said it all.So prouda you rn.Respect.Basically I’ll pick drill to trap any day.They just mumble on beat,talk about women and jewelry they’ve got.I don’t really have an issue with your bragging right but when it comes to this rap thing,brag with poetry and rhymes with flow.Pac talked about guns,21 Savage does also but you can’t place them in the same category coz PAC understood the assignment Nd fed us with the outcome but 21 just mumbles about these things with less or no poetry Nd that’s what rap is actually about.
Even my client living over there knows they are all Rappers..... I don't like arguing with people like you forming woke.
So is my client wrong for classifying King Von and Lil Durk as rappers.
nairamaniac: RAP can stand for Rhythmically Applied Poetry
Or
Rhythm And Poetry.
Call that an acronym or backronym.
In rap there's got to be rhythm and some poetry.
There needs to be rhymes and lots of use of poetry, literature, wordplays, and most of all the use of certain Figures of Speech like similes, metaphors, paradoxes the rest.
It's not mandatory to go sooo deep into it,
But the deeper a rapper dives into those waters, the more respected he is.
It has always been Soo.
That's why the more respected rappers during certain eras were so deep in their rhymes and their poetry. The Rakims, big daddy Kane, Heavy D, Nas, Eminem, Biggy, 2pac of old schools to the more recent schools of Jcole and Kendrick Lamar went so deep into lots of regards for rhymes and sending across knowledge/message to listeners.
What most of these new guys are doing ain't rap if it isnt rap.
They may dress like rappers or be black in colour like rappers, but no solid rhymes or poetry.
Only a few recent guys still keep it real.
And who told you 2pac only talked about bad government? No one needs to talk about bad government to be seen as a rapper here bro. Even when he talked about other stuffs, he delivered as a rapper
How can you say "only the beats differentiates Rap from Trap? How can you be sooooo confidently biased in very broad day light?
You need to really clear this up?
So you say *only the beats differentiates both*
It's either you are being very bias or naive So you want to say all those their constant reputations of same words at the end of each line is the same thing as when someone uses different words to end each line?
See, bro Trap is closer to R&B than it is to RAP itself.
These guys are just doing more of singing R&B and makes rhymes with exactly the same words
So why is the RHYTHM there?
Or you think the rhythm should come from the beats.
No, it should come from your delivery (your mouth).
Or do you also know rap more than SNOOP DOGG does? The Grammys and white execs have a way of fine-tuning Artcultures entirely to suit there own white audience.
He couldn't have said it any better than it actually is.
They did it to Rap and now it's about to be done to Afrobeats. Becos the grammy award is sooo beautiful and glamorous, lots of artist want a piece of it.
But only way to make it happen is to bend to their validation&audience. Do you think Burna boy would have won that first Grammy of he didn't have puff daddy certifying the album as an executive producer?
And added to that burna had already signed an international record deal prior to the album.
Do you think the people that make up the committee to dish out those awards would know more than those that actually grew up in the culture?
Pls don't get carried away by; glamore commercial appeal White validation.
Even if things don't stay the same forever, it's DNA should be retained.
Whether you like it or not..... They are all Rappers. Call it TRAP or Rap or Drill..... They are all rappers. If you want to listen to old school music, go download and listen. Stop talking shit over the internet.
MaxInDHouse: What is POVERTY? Imagine the day God freed the Israelites from Egypt, all of them were SLAVES meaning there's nothing like CLASS among them that very day but when each started struggling for money the same people that walked out of Egypt together like one family began hating and killing one another.
So is it POVERTY that they were use to in Egypt while being slaves that brought evil into their hearts or the love of money?
All you put up there's trash.....stop allowing some book take over your brain.
moshuur: ur response is spot on....I was told something similar few days ago. Touching those things after sex is highly discouraged except u've had ur bath. Or a lady thats menstruating should be prevented from Touching it. I guess u do bath with black/local Soap....right?
nairamaniac: Yeah. Music evolves. But it doesn't evolve to become an entirely new genre.
There isn't really a correlation between Rap and Trap. I called it OLD SCHOOL just to abscribe a time period to it. All what these Migos, offset, future are doing ain't really rap.
They dress and look like rappers.
But that ain't pure rap. Maybe that's why they call it TRAP.
Lol..... I see you don't know nothin' bout music fr!
Everyone can't be a 2pac who talks about Bad government, oppression of the blacks, etc........ Bro, life has evolved past that.
Rap N!ggås now want some money, jewelries, gang affiliation, b!ť¢heş etc.... So that's what they rap about now.
Trap actually means a Drug house.... And that flow came from Atlanta in 1990s, that's why you see Atlanta rappers are different!
So it's origin is still from Rap.......... If you are going to differentiate the two, its just the Beats. The Hi-hat makes it what's called trap beat.
If you want to listen to Old skool music,listen to it..... If you want to listen to new rap music, listen to it. Stop all those comparisons, it makes it sound dumb!
Dtruthspeaker: Because Christianity is Truly A Representative an Office of God on earth.
Look and see any person or thing who Truly represents and reveals God in him, is subject of great attack, hot insult, anger and complaints all geared towards forcing the person to remove the God full attribute from himself or herself.
They pressurize the person up to the point of direct physical harm just so that the light of God is put off and put out eg a person who tries to be humble, omo, see attack and hot aggression, abuse and humiliation..
M.I even confessed this when he said humility was very hard.
Humility greatly annoys devils such that they are almost violent against such a person if not that God Protects the humble. (What the naturally humble were never told) .
But let the person swell and be proud, see praises and honour and even much respect "big boy, when I grow up I want to be like you".
Same attack for people who say that they want to stay chaste, no smoking and drinking. That is when you devils start pressing and pressing with plenty of wicked osho free just to make sure that they fall as was done to this boy.
nairamaniac: US rap has equally regressed. It has been more of TRAP holding the scene than Rap for past decade or so. Only very few still keep it real U can't compare these Trap kids to the old school pure rappers.
I learnt the use of English, wordplays more from old school rap songs than I did from any English teacher I encountered.
Bro, music evolves as time passes by. You can't expect Rap of this Generation to sound like the 80's, 90's and early 2000........i like the fact that you still called it old school.
In years to come, rappers won't even sound like 21 savage, Migos, Travis Scott, and others. There will be a new rap flow.
Rap can't die in the US, that's one thing......... Still the top genre.
BrickDevo: Anything can be your idol if you devote too much time to it.
Idols, shrine and masquerade is our culture and heritage, evil native doctors and good native doctors exist same way white and black witches exist...... That the west came and said our shrines and stuff is evil and through the back stole it and kept in their museum to make money, should tell you that there's a hidden agenda.
Love your own, africans are behaving like lost tribes, reason why we don't love our selves and will never progress.
OkpaNsukkaisBae: The bible itself is an idol. how person go leave his indigenous religion just to adopt a whiteman's god/religion? slavery & foolishness.
People are just foolish nowadays.
When you ask them, they'll tell you it's Civilization
MaxInDHouse: The concept of sulphur and brimstone came from one man named Jesus of Nazareth. According to the book Bible a child will be born among the Jews, this child will become a great counselor and perform miraculous works like a God {Isaiah 9:6} but along the line he will speak in parables so that those who don't have the love of God won't grasp his message {Isaiah 6:20; Jeremiah 5:21} Jesus proved to be that child! Matthew 13:13
So the sulphur and brimstone are illustrations it simply means God wants to resurrect back to life innocent descendants of Adam who never had the opportunity to prove their loyalty in the garden of Eden {Act 24:15} but then those who never cared how they treat their fellowman have proved to be evil so such ones will be forgotten in their graves just as they forgot God {Psalms 9:17} so unlike others whose death can be reversed the graveyard of perpetual evildoers will be like a place where nothing could be recovered: dump cite where fire is burning with sulphur and brimstone!
