Eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart.

It was inevitable breh breh. Just washing my hands now so I don't have to do so when November 26 comes.
Please please do
It's because he raps about worthwhile topics where everyone is treated equal and is bringing good hip-hop back unlike Danny where he talks about molly, eating ass, and getting his dick sucked.
I just don't want it from someone that has proven over and over again to be capable of it. I want to see established emcees grow up and take their music into new spaces with them - potentially opening the doors for the rest of the culture in their wake. Stop catering to fan bases so damn much.

This would be the 10th OT right? gotta make it something special.

How did Dre and Rubin let that beat slide? It doesn't even fit properly and these are two of the best when it comes to matching the beat to the vocals. I can't imagine either of them bumping their head to that beat. Go remake the beat, give the drums to Mike Will or anything to salvage the bars.

might go for a ying/yang MMLP/Knock Madness type dealio.
He has a point. None of Danny's imagery or subject matter appeals to anyone but a very very small niche, whereas Macklemore is the essence of an open platform; anyone can listen to his feelgood John Lennon raps and walk away patting their back.
He doesn't "mean it", but those who are buying the albums see it that way. Well they just plain don't see Danny brown lol.

Its true, but Danny Brown is more than just ratchery in the club or in the streets.
Isnt he on Fools Gold?

Fuck everything right now. Got Em's "Rap God" on repeat right now
That is to his commercial detriment, not advantage.
gaf hop idealism is so cute
join brehs
Yes and no.
I don't believe that and know that Danny is more than the sex topics but no one outside his fan base knows that. Look at his persona he portrays on Kathy Griffin's show where sex was the main subject they were talking about. I bet people will look at XXX's cover and think the same thing but we all know it's, much much more than that.

Not idealistic about anything, I just took CRS comment at face value.
Right because 2013 "grown and mature" Wu-Tang, Rakim, Nas >>>>> 90s "lyrical miracle" Wu-Tang, Rakim, Nas

Rap God does sound exactly like a Kendrick Lamar track though, just with a different voice (and a wacker chorus/beat than the shit lamar raps on these days).
I feel like people are just now shitting on it because it's eminem, and also because the beat is annoying. that works too.

i get what you mean about kendrick knowing when to slow it down and such. but that smurf voice he does sometimes is just as corny as eminem's screaming voice.
edit: though I am looking forward to kendrick's next project more than eminem's. but still rap god has kind of grown on me. it's not bad imo.

Don't know what people talkin about this beat goes hard. You gotta remember though Em rap beats are usually different from the norm. It's always been like this his whole career.
The same reason why he let MCHG slide.
Qualify this with his his popularized/broader image and this statement is a bit more believable, but yeah still shaky.
They don't have to be better, just grow and evolve as a goddamn artist instead of pandering and playing it safe to the point of stagnation and boredom.
The Wu are a bit flabby today, yeah, but Nas has done pretty well for himself and is still a cut above Em today when it comes to songwriting, and that's still with the Salaam Remi handicap.
Isn't this always the case. Lol.
Nah fam, you gotta keep it moving with the sound and lyrical themes for the most part. Treading water and chasing after physical rap feats you can't accomplish anymore and a sound that has already been old hat is meaningless. What's the point of doing a shittier version of something you already did great? It's better to try your hand at something new.

Nah, not really. Lyrically it is pretty shitty for the type of song it is. It really has almost no memorable lines for me. Flow sure that's good, but you don't ever see me giving Kendrick props just for flow.
Yeah, definitely. Danny has a lot to say and he delivers it in much more interesting ways than most rappers.
Why shouldn't be getting hated on? His last album was recovery, and the 2 songs before this were shit. I haven't listened to the new track, but he hasn't dropped a good album in years.
Well 98% of rappers these days don't even rap like that anymore so what are you complaining about.
Eminem, Kool G. Rap are like the remaining few who still does it.
In the future one day rap lyrics are gonna be even more dumbed down that you wish that someone would still remember how to rhyme their words.

That's the point.. the beat sounds nothing an Em beat. Sounds like a basic trap beat..
Start listening to more than Eminem and G Rap fam.
Then you might actually appreciate everything else that makes a song good aside from lyrical technicality, which is all Rap God has going for it. And even then he ruins it by mumbling/slurring during parts of it.
