Why I Won't Debate Hip Hop w/ People In Real Life

[JayEyeTheKing]

I had 2 people arguin with me that Lil Wayne is currently and the greatest of all time, wouldnt consider anything I said.. and every time Id say someone is better theyd say dumb shit like "Wayne got him with his punchlines alone"
NAS >>>

 

[lamontbdc]

well the 2nd paragraph will always be true b/c for the most part we on here are all hip hop fanatics. more than your average cat on the street. i mean we spend half our days debating hip hop. I don't think most fans do that. i know i fuck wiht hip hop and music more than most of my friends. thus why i'm the one putting them on to krit or j cole.

Not a fan of Wayne but that's there opinion. You can't force your opinion on them.

Plus most people whether thye wanna admit it or not, base "fall off" on success. See if Wayne had released Carter 4 and it did 20K first week you know them niggas would be like "Man Wayne fell of, he ain't dropped no nice shit since Carter 3 (Cuz of the sales, not quality). That's how people are it's not about quality it's all about numbers and popularity. Since Wayne still doing numbers they're still gonna say he's dope and ain't fallen off a single bit but once the his success dips a lil i dare you to ask them then.

Usually what i get for Wayne... Oh and his "work Ethic" smh

 

[t. webb]

Last weekend these 2 niggas had the nerve to say that Lil Wayne hasn't fallen off over recent years, the Carter 4 is a really dope album, and wait for it....Lil Wayne is better in 2011 than he ever was in previous years. I couldn't take them clowns serious as human beings after they said that and just gave them the Shaq face. I was ready to go in and shit on their claims, but I stopped myself because I realized anybody who says something that foolish just isn't worth the energy to debate with.

Some of yall posters have no damn sense. But I agree with way more shit I see posted on The Reason than the views of people I know in real life, because for the most part they're sheep when it comes to music. Do you have a hard time discussing music w/ ppl in real life? I used to think it was just female's opinions on hiphop that I can't take seriously, but nah niggas are just as bad apparently.

True Shit...I was debating my brother about some shit with music and I was blown away by the crazy shit that he was saying....

Complete co-sign. One of my homegirls told me Drake is a better rapper to her than Biggie. I didn't even argue, I just changed the conversation. Not even worth my time

Basically. It's a waste of breath trying to argue with somebody like that.

I very rarely exhibit my musical knowledge amongst my peers though it is amusing to hear the reasons they give on why so and so is the hottest out or why this person will be the next to blow.

 

[playmaker88]

because i really dont care that much someone says something.. that i dont agree with i just left it disappear into the air.. when niggas gossip about rappers its even worse

 

[king hassan]

NIggas get mad because you don't like what they like then you a homo, fag or dont know shit about music and other forms of juvenile name calling smh lol smh

 

[CapitalC]

I'm biased so I can't really co-sign everything you said lol

But I mean niggas on here said that Ross was better than Biggie, people are weird man...

I don't think Wayne is better than Jay, Em, Big, Nas or nobody like that but I bump his shit more than anybody else...

And if you a Wayne fan you know the nigga work his ass of...we get new shit from him like every week for the past 7 years or some shit...

 

[lamontbdc]

you can't talk to niggas round Dc about lil wayne they think this nigga is jesus

This is what I get from his fans I speak with to which I say its easy to release constant material when the majority if not all is fucking garbage and you half ass your rhymes.

That nigga puts out new shit all the time, but it's the majority of it is ass though. I could see if he was workin his ass off putting out quality music, but dude's music generally sucks nowadays. I didn't really make the thread w/ the intention to shit on Wayne. More of a thread to talk about some of the crazy shit uninformed people say about hip hop.

I very rarely exhibit my musical knowledge amongst my peers though it is amusing to hear the reasons they give on why so and so is the hottest out or why this person will be the next to blow.

I'm the same way. Unless the topic comes up, I aint really gonna bring up a hip hop discussion w/ others. Because I know most cats don't really analyze it the way I do. Whenever a new album drops, it's always amusing to read comments on FB. Niggas be hyping up the weakest shit. "OOOOOH SHIT YOU HEARD THAT PUNCHLINE SON?? ROLLING PAPERS GOES TOO HARD!! TAYLOR GANG"

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

only way we can quantify skills right now is through sales... unfortunately wayne is still sellin big, and better than he ever has

Wayne is selling better in 2011 vs. 2008 (TC3)? Where's the proof? Cuz' I find that hard to believe. And are you really trying to say that the only way you can judge skills is through sales?? You got to be joking. Nicki Minaj's album did numbers, and her skill level is non existant. Weak ass arugument breh.

 

[CapitalC]

you can't talk to niggas round Dc about lil wayne they think this nigga is jesus

Lol Moses not Jesus

Yea but I def get t/s point, nigga at my job said Drake was better than wayne and that Drake killed some shit he didn't kill...

I'm trying to stop hating people for saying shit like that but it's tough...

I liked No Celings and Sorry 4 the Wait...Drought 3 always gonne be my fav shit

 

[CapitalC]

You can't quantify talent. How would you even do this? Is there a rap rubric somewhere to grade music?

The only unbiased way to really make judgement is sales, and maybe influence, but again that's not very quantifiable.

Didn't wayne do a mill with C4?

Same as he did with C3



he didnt sell that well with c1 or c2 or rebirth

Gotta give em what they want...

C/S, i find it even funnier when people use a rappers line as their status acting as if they've been a fan of them since the beginning.

 

[Ghostdenithegawd]

"If it wasn't for kayne nobody would have hot beats"

ME: why

DUMBASS: he's gay

I agree with your friends. Most people in "real" life feel the same way as well.
