"content'' the most overrated thing in hiphop and the biggest excuse to hate

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Unless Jay is making dance and pop music?

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Nope. Content is EVERYTHING.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

So are u saying we shouldnt care bout the content of the music of a guy who calls himself the voice of the young people?

 

[ericb4prez]

jay said i dumbed down to double my dollars obviously he could give a fuck about content

 

[Nile Gambino]

99 problems aint got content in it fuck yall niggaz it's one of the best hiphop songs ever

It doesn't matter to me when I'm casually listening to shit but it's what seperates certain artists imo. For example I've been fuckin with 2 chainz, ross, juicy j, nas, jon connor, and kendrick are the artists I've been bumpin a lot lately. I bump their shit equally but the music the last 3 make touches me in a different way. I saw jay get brought up, and for one jay has touched on a lot of different subjects. For two, even when jay raps about money he's lyrical and he puts effort into his shit. Content might not matter TO YOU, but an artist with great content is so much more powerful and does so much more FOR ME as a listener....

That didn't mean content, that meant in terms of being the super technical rapper spit fire rapper he was in the beginning of his career. His content from his first album til now has been pretty consistent

 

[Meta_Conscious]

what type of anti-intellectual shit is this?

 

[just.might.b.ok]

you made this thread cause clearly the next Jay Z album is gonna be about the same thing the last one was?

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Distant Relatives = Content

I've never heard a soul playing that wacc ass album ever and it flopped just like life is wood

Content is only important to nas fans and lames who are impressed by rappas who talk about timbuktu,warriors,stars,sun and the moon

they buy the shit caught up in the hype/cuz a nigga wear a kufi it dont mean that he bright

"Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense (But I did five Mil) I ain't been rhyming like Common since"~~~Moment of Clarity- Jay-Z

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

Well if you have such a big problem with it, why did you headline your topic with it?

Its not about content, its about SUBSTANCE. Any artist with a mixtape/s or an album/s has content. Thats what finished songs are, content. That word has nothing to do with what the song is about.

And yes, SUBSTANCE is important, because music is and has always been used for communication and education. Why all of a sudden its cool to have a form a music that talks about absolutely nothing. Literally just pays underprivileged niggas to talk shit.

You gotta have a message or you dont got shit

"Yo, the record company didnt promote my shit right!" *whatever*

 

[NeighborhoodNomad.]

Timeless music=Content. Content is for the people. Material music is for self.

 

[Garv*]

Of course content matters, only a tap dancing white pancake ass loving Jayz camelite would disagaree.

 

[just.might.b.ok]

i can see how people that shoves g unit dildos up their ass might not like "content" in music tho.

That line clearly went over your head, he is speaking in term of complexity and not having to dumb down on his wordplay/double entandres. Not so call kicking knowledge.

yet you worship Malcom X and Bob Marley, two niggas who chased white pussy all day. Sit your pretentious ass down, dirty ass incense burning niggas kill me with your so call black righteousness talk, probably at home eating a Baconator right now as we speak.

WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE TERM CONTENT AND SUBSTANCE ARE RELATIVE.

Is it really that hard, to see it's just an excuse ya'll use to act as if ya'll have superior taste in music. Snobbish much?
