Because just like Game Journalism, music journalism is corrupt to the core and will shill complete garbage wither because they're being paid or because they want to look PC.

When did rap become a genre?
>>
>>64496437
sometime in the mid 90s when turntablism, trip hop, instrumental hip hop and alternative hip hop from the likes of Mo' Wax and Ninja Tune took the music one way and rappers took rap another route with most emphasis on the lyrics and flow

Because Pitchfork keeps giving them good scores. If we lives in a respectable era like the 60's, all these negro-ramblings would go straight in the trash.

I get what you're saying 'cause that's how I felt it the first time I heard it. I liked it but felt nothing special. I liked 'Wish You Were Here' way better. Then, I decided to give it another try, and again, I felt nothing special. After a few months of giving it several tries and giving up, I saw the album at Target. So, I bought it and decided to give it one last chance. I inserted the Disk into my car's stereo and turned it up. It BLEW ME AWAY completely! Wow, how could I have missed it all those times. Now I can't get enough of it. I hear it all the time. I even downloaded the whole documentary and live versions into my iPod. Dark Side is like a fine dish, some people have to try it several times to get its FULL POWER. It's not noise, just really awesome sound effects that make the album unique. In my opinion, there is no better album, nor will there ever be, than Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon.'

When are braindead hip hop fans going to realize that virtually all of hip hop is memerap? The genre is literally based around incessant and frankly lazy repetition both of music and slang, pop culture references, appreciation for the sake of celebrity appeal rather than musical ability, and short three-minute singles that do not challenge the limited attention span of a middle schooler. Hip hop is the image macro in music format.

Why are their so many Kanye and Drake memes? Because they consciously designed their public images to be memes, they fucking live for having their lines get retweeted with incongruous Spongebob images attached. They want people to giggle over their outrageous references to their celebrity gossip and public references to their favorite films.

Name 10 artists that fall under the category "meme rap"
>>
It wasnt a meme until you said it was
>>
>>64495267
The music only becomes recognsied as a meme once the fanbase derives a distinct culture out of it, perpetuates it to the ears of the masses and becomes heavily associated with the 'fans' that listen(ed) to it. The music itself is only a raw expression of the artist.

I like duality too, but Flylo obviously doesn't take rapping seriously.
>>
>>64509166
just cause he's not serious doesn't mean he's a meme, just that he's being lighthearted

DOOM has his fair share of silly lines as well but that doesn't mean he's a memerapper

Fuck off SJW. I can tell from this post you're a whore

wew lad
back to /r/kotakuinaction and /v/ with you
>>
>>64509207
The difference is DOOM is lyricist who carefully writes and structures his rhymes and Flylo writes his 10 minutes before recording them because he doesn't give a shit.

Not saying he's bad per say, but comparing him to DOOM is retarded. Their approach is completely different.
>>
>>64509369
yeah true, DOOM is better than murphy and their approaches are different
doesn't mean that their tone isn't relatively similar though

Chance The Rapper on TLOP sounds really mature and good. We're going to get some good releases from him soon, more thought out.

catch me listening to Acid Rap sometimes but it is childish obviously. He'll put out good stuff soon and meme-time will come to an end.

Come on, he's posted constantly and whenever you say something bad against him you get the same responses. Young Thug is a huge meme on here

no, not a meme, just overrated

>>64499181
Hopsin and Tyler are defo memerap

Chance, Earl, and Eminem aren't. Although, Eminem still is shit.
