They're just older folks who hate on the newer generations and are mad that they're not up to date with what the kids like and what's hot nowadays

"But rappers used to spit about real shit and genuine problems in our world while current rappers just talk about money, bitches, killing, and drugs!"

Guess what, all those same rappers they revere are now starring in children's movies or coming out of retirement 2 decades later because they blew all their money on cars and jewelry that depreciated 10 times the moment it touched their neck

Sorry, but you really should've just bought some Johnny Dang grills so you didn't have to drop another "Conscious Hip-Hop" album or tour at age 67 to pay for your dental bill, gramps

Counterpoint: Tyler the Creator is better than Playboi Carti. And I am an oldhead.

lists Wu-Tang, Biggie

this feels like you've actually never listened to either of them and are just posting the most /mu/ take possible

So, where should I start with Carti?

Also, some older rappers are still cool. boots-riley

Ain't gonna argue with any of your points cause I can't, but lemme know what the good Carti stuff is and I'll check it out!

Old heads who only want rap music about “real problems” instead of “flexing and killing and bitches” forget they revere two guys who were killed because they flexed on and talked too much shit about each other, and neither of them were genuine gangsters lol
