I think hip hop is the healthiest it's been for about a decade. Someone used the analogy of the downfall of hair metal because of grunge. I think it's a very good analogy.

Midway through the last decade hip hop became very stiff and boring. I noticed a really sharp decline after 2002. Essentially hip hop sold itself out and you had people saying they weren't rappers they were businessmen.

This new breed of mcs on both coasts is very refreshing and they're all individuals and original.

Oh yeah and the South definitely did kill hip hop.

Agree with you totally. It funny though regarding the South, the way the trap influence is a big thing in electronic music at the moment. I am partial to it myself

Puff Daddy began butchering it years before all the lil's started popping up, but the gimmicky south garbage was the final nail in the coffin.

I love Pro Era, i think joey bada$$ is the best artists going in the states at the moment, cant wait for his debut album, he's calling it B4.DA.$$, class act.

Fake Based, please get out. Lil B the Based God has released an 855 song mixtape. Puts out a mixtape at least once a month if not more. Is beacon of positivity and hope to millions. Cares about his fans so much. Has his own philosophical movement. Lectured at NYU. http://pitchfork.com/news/46104-report-lil-bs-nyu-lecture/
Called one of his many albums 'I'm Gay' for gay rights.

Not taking the piss at all man. Look up the movement and you will understand.

Lil B is up there are one of the worst rappers I've ever heard.

Just because he releases 25 songs a day does not make him good.
Just because he cares about his fans and puts accross a message does not make him good.

And as Paddy2k11 has pointed out, hash tags have no meaning on boards.ie

What's the movement? Is he claiming to be some sort of revolutionary now? Last thing hip hop needs is somebody as poorly skilled as him trying to be the face of something through the genre itself

Big fan of The Underachievers, still listen to 'Indigoism' nearly daily. The Mhadi and My Prism would be my favourites on that tape. Obviously a big fan of A$AP Rocky, but I've been listening to more Ferg recently too. Flatbush Zombies are very impressive too, I was late to the party on them but I'm enjoying 'D.R.U.G.S' at the moment. As for Bronson, I like him as a rapper, but Rare Chandeliers did not click with me at all, I liked Blue Chips and I love his features, but there was something about that mixtape that didn't sit well. Joey Badass and his Pro Era guys are very promising, 1999 was excellent and I'm really looking forward to his next release.

The brilliance of Lil B is that his art engages people on a personal, intimate level. Young people take Lil B seriously because he cares more about being honest than being paid. There are so many dusty corners and layers to the Based persona and world. He has created a labyrinth of spontaneous creativity. His entire Based movement is founded on channeling his unconscious thoughts instantaneously. Hip-Hop is merely a backdrop for most of the tracks. His production is forward-thinking, diverse, and the reflection of his personal taste. In a month, he can make and release mixtapes that interestingly incorporate local rap scenes (Memphis, New Orleans, etc.). His music resonates with the punk community because after his record label/manager dropped him, he succeeded with a potentially insane DIY approach to hip hop in which all hip hop conventions are completely unimportant. The songs become way less about hip hop and much more about his philosophy/approach to being an artist. He's not parodying rap; he's reinventing rap for his personality. This is something that only true artists can do regardless of what genre they work in.

Yeah its a widely used pasta because it well written and true.

So you agree with someone elses opinion on another forum and post it here as your own, rather that giving the poster from the original forum the credit?

Epicness

That paragraph didn't originate on Kanye To The, it is a widely circulated 'copypasta' on Lil B. Not sure if ye are familiar with this kind of board culture but people dont give credit to the OP.
I don't see the big deal really.

Why don't you tell us how he's so brilliant in your own words instead of a complete strangers?

You can't argue that he can't rap after listening to this. Goes hard
