PLEASE TELL ME RMN LIKES HIP HOP!

I am an unapologetic hip hop fan. Most people's criticisms of the genre come from a place of ignorance of the diversity of the artists who produce hip hop. I also blame Lil' Wayne.

I've recently been listening to Kendrick Lamar. I generally like what I hear but I can't watch him. He does this shuffling thing where he doesn't look the camera in the eye and crosses the line from eccentric to creepy.


J Cole has always been good and he got a record deal and the album from that is really good.


I am skeptical of hip hop/rap going in a more electronic route but Tech N9ne and his dubstep tracks surprised me with how good they were. Technicians is just brilliant.


Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) has some well produced tracks but I can only listen to so much of Camp because he's a grown man and he needs to get over the fact that some black kids said he was acting white and stop rapping about it. It makes so much sense that a lot of his fans are white hipster girls (yeah, I said it, come at me).

I don't think I like hip hop...I do like rap, but disregard this statement if those two are actually the same thing (as a white guy, it's safe to say I'm NOT an expert).

The subset(s) of rap that I like are kind of random and eclectic. Which is not to mean "obscure" they're mostly pretty mainstream, but they're pretty diverse/spread out. I still dislike a solid 90% of rap/hip hop, which is less than the percentage of country I dislike.

I really cannot stand "nerdcore" any more than I can stand filk. So fucking stupid. Just my opinion, though.

I think he meant it to be funny.

oh, i see. i didnt take offense or anything. just wasnt quite sure where you were going with it.
