Like honestly look at whos the best rappers and truly see how terrible they are. Came to this conclusion while listening to east 1999. That whole album let alone the rappers sound so much like a rap cd and has actually lyrical 16 bars that when you hear lil wayne I feel extremely stupid. Kendrick lamar, mike miller, gunplay, officer ricky, drake are all dumbed down rappers. That east 1999 album is so solid in every aspect that it boils down to having intelligence in really knowing how to tell great rap. RAp fans are just plain dumb really.
Yeah, fuck that mainstream(lamestream) swaggot rap. There is still some good rap though, if you take the time to find it. For example, check this shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlNt1uRtV9g"]Wrekonize (Feat. Bernz) "One Foot In The Grave" - YouTube And this is just raw. Especially the third verse(C-Mob's verse): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSCa1Gvm1ag"]Twisted Insane Underground Psycho featuring C Mob OFFICIAL VIDEO - YouTube Speaking of C-Mob, he shares our mutual disdain for today's mainstream rap, which he expresses in this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLSVEHM-t9Y"]C-Mob "The Antidote" (Dissing Pastor Troy, Lil B, Lil Wayne, & "swag" rappers) - YouTube And the second verse(@2:10) on this song is one of the most lyrically impressive verses I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkymQVOWj3Q"]C-mob - Take Me Away - YouTube

I love Wade. He won't resort to all the fag calling. Last month he opened for Tawlib Kweli in TO. Wish I could have seen that.
That would mean no rock n roll too. That would suck. (Wouldn't miss much of the current stuff though)
Granted, I really dislike most rap, and I don't like vulgar subject matter. I'm not a fan of any part of it. But I wouldn't go so far as to say all the fans of it are dumb. You're dumb.
While I generally agree with what you are saying, gotta say I like the few Kendrick Lamar songs I've heard. The verses to Swimming Pools even slightly reminded me of Bone Thugs when I initially heard it.
See? There's still good rap out there. Check this shit out. I mean........DAMN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3byEUZm0r40"]*NEW* R.A. The Rugged Man - Definition of a Rap Flow (Albee 3000) (Ft. Amalie Bruun) - YouTube

Rap glorifies a certain lifestyle. A lifestyle that anyone who is not a rapper will tell you is a dead end meaning the whole gangster mentality. It's allot easier to talk about it then live it. Hip hop was not always like this but in the late 80's all the drug dealers figured out the white people will buy albums about selling crack, and then they don't have to actually sell crack. With that said this guy at least has some clever lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unQBNE9VEz4"]Ill Bill - What's Wrong? - YouTube
