Your rants don't make coherent sense. I just have my head stuck in the sand when it comes to Nas because I hate him as much as I hate Common
That hurts my soul
Okay, one question. Do you think Common's Be isn't good?

Gah!
Breh have you heard Commons early stuff, one of the best raw flows maybe ever
If this Juelz Santana album somehow turns out to be good it will pretty much make my year.
Uh, okay. Didn't know you were a Dipset fan. Curious, has Juelz ever had a good album? Never listened to him like that. Only loosies and features.
OK, I have to ask: Outside of not liking their music, why do you hate them?
Like with Nas I get disliking him for some smartdumb shit over the years and the crazier side of his fanbase, but Common? Dude is probably the nicest, most genuine guy in all of hiphop.

I'll just say From Me to U>What's the Game Been Missing.
Yeah neither that great, but might give From Me To U a very light 8.
Yes
I don't like Be
Common is a nice dude, just don't like his music or acting.

Resurrection is a great album, and the lyrics are super clever and well put together.
I mean, I could kinda understand why you'd find Common's rapping corny or so, but do you at least acknowledge how dope the production is? Some of Kanye's best.

J Dilla has the best beat on the album with It's Your World (also Common is out of this world on the second verse).

Yupppppp. That's the shit that touches your soul.
Son is a verb now?
I would expect this in OT or Gaming, but here?
Don't mind him. Someone linked him to Kool G Rap flowing over the FF7 battle theme like a month ago, he's new.

Come one, brehsYou should know me better than that by now. Only the real ones will get the reference.
I got the reference. Real one confirmed.
We need to start GAF-Hop Court. Too many unchecked souls in hip-hop threads across the forum.
Real recognize real, bless up 🙏
Oh the production is great, just don't like Common's rapping.

I don't haphazardly form my opinions though, I've listened to Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Common, multiple times and realized I don't like them. Each has at least one song or feature I like, but don't like em as a whole

Just seems strange to enjoy, say, Mos Def but not Common. Or Joey but not Nas/Biggie.
I get that, I just liked Black on Both Sides a lot and never enjoyed a Common album and like Joey but never liked a Nas or Bighie album even though they definitely influenced him

rofl what? I opened this thread for the first time in months and im reminded why i dont come here. Drake aint the voice of a generation? 10 years of number 1s put some fucking respect on that name

If that were the case, then fucking Hanson, Next, and Cher would be the voice of mine. Drake's not the voice of a generation because his music is as vapid and by-the-numbers as crossover pop can be. I'm not going to deny I enjoy songs like Passionfruit, but there comes a point where I can't enjoy the song anymore largely because its overplayed and there's no real depth to it. Same case with Hotline Bling, Fake Love, Sneakin, and every other hot single Drake's had.
You're wrong to believe popularity instantly means he's the voice of a generation, because if so, Drake's the mouthpiece for a set of vapid, self-absorbed, relationship hunters who get mad when someone doesn't like their Instagram post or reply to them within 10 minutes. Drake. If anybody in the current crop of rappers is the voice of a generation, it'd be someone like Kendrick, someone who's actually created a work that speaks out on several important topics that have been catapulted into the limelight, or maybe Earl Sweatshirt, for talking about depression and what not in a candid way, or whomever. The closest thing Drake's done to doing something worthwhile is posting an Instagram message after the death of Alton Sterling. Drake's a fucking pop-star and he knows it. If popularity is the criterion for being called such, then by god, Mariah Carey is the voice of a generation, and so is Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, the Bee Gees, and more as they regularly get/got Number 1s. Oh, and by the way, Drake's been on the charts for 10 years, and he only has three number one singles, so he doesn't even qualify by your metric.
