In fairness, I stopped checking for teh rapps a while ago because technology has made "everyone" a potential rap superstar, including this Hopsin dude, which has watered the genre down to the point that it's lost its significance, at least to me.
The last good "new-ish" dude is Action Bronson.
b/w
My opinion really doesn't matter.
I blame Kendrick lamar. Matter of fact, the dude calls out Kanye and Kendrick in one rhyme. Pretty good.
Witness the growth of Meek from his days as a battle rapper (>>> Hopsin)...
...to Rick Ross' better half.
Naw. That's exactly what's wack about half of these rappers. Really do blame Weezy with his lazy sloppy style when he was making his mainstream push. Give me a snapback, an Obey t-shirt, tight jeans, and a blunt, and I can do similar things. I'm not asking for M.O.P. but shit Iggy Azalea has more balls than a lot of these fresh-out-of-high school rappers.
The industry makes its push with the flavor of the day, and dudes are rehashing styles all day.
Is it the fact that it's industry rap that you're not happy with or the styles they use?
Not everything that the industry puts out is wack. Actually, I think most industry rappers these days have a handful of amazing tracks in their catalouge before they sign. There are a lot of young rappers who are very original and that's why the industry (and their peers) adopt their style.
