even tho I hate hopsin , and really like rappers like young thug and future I find this pretty hilarious but yea never understood rap lyrics anyway French is my main language.
What you think about this ,is it true for you? Do you think it's a shame what rap music became?

LOL, that's good.
But I think this applies to most music nowadays, not just rap.
Using too much electronic sound, and voice synthesizers or whatever. Their's still good rap being made, just not on MTV...if that's still a thing.

Hopsin is such a candy ass. Always calling out people who would have nothing to do with him and doing stupid shit like this for publicity since he lacks the talent or marketing skills to get it otherwise. Regardless I think it is kind of funny. It seems like people on the internet think the song is a straight up banger which it's not, I can barely even listen to it 
I'm gonna get a lot of shit for saying this, but the whole auto-tuned rap thing is really misunderstood. It can be annoying as shit, ie. Rich Homie Quan and all that other dumb shit you tend to hear on the radio, but some artists like Future and Thug really use it to their advantage. Future especially, even through the nihilism of his lyrics and the layers of artificiality you can really hear the pain and emotion in his voice. I know some people are just never going to like his music though and I accept that I'm not gonna convince any of them, but to me he's an amazing artist.

Don't really listen to a lot of rap these days. Use to be a big rap guy back in the day.
Now the only kind of hip hopish genre I listen to is electro-trap. I like Loudpvck, Bassnectar, G-Jones, and some other trap stuff here and there.

@hex_enduction ,I used to straight up hate autotune with like T-Pain . But with thugger and future it really adds to the emotion and vibe of the song. I personally love it now
@eminence yea kinda ironic huh .but yeaI don't understand most of the lyrics, I go on rap genius from time to time tho .but yea it doesnt mean I don't like the music. I personally think this joke rap from hopsin sounds better then his real music
@janky tits yea I like that electro trap music too. When I first heard that in a edm show in 2013 I was like what!!? was like this is hella good!

I wouldn't have made a statement like that even a year ago but Future has improved immensely as an artist in 2015. Listen to DS2 and 56 Nights and you might see where I'm coming from.
As far as Hopsin goes, I have always hated him. Never cared for his whole "all rappers these days except me are garbage and I'm here to save the game" attitude or his corny ass lyrics. He is a decent rapper though I suppose.

I really don't understand why people hate on Hopsin. I don't particularly like him. But from a technical standpoint he's a very good rapper. DS2 was completely average to me, I don't really see what all the hype is personally

One reason I figure people hate on Hospin, I used to love rap myself, but the flames have since dwindled, and you can see the talent, is because he almost seems like the Sith Lord picture of starwars with the words "Let the hate flow through you". He seems so full of hate and anger, I just couldn't take it. No matter how "real" it was, which it was. Was TOO real for me. Il rather live in dreams than to get that dark.

Fair enough. I never thought the dude was anything special but that album convinced me. I know his style is not for everyone though.
You gotta at least agree that it's fantastic production wise, no? Metro was at the top of his game on every track and he's an amazing producer regardless. Unless you're not into the Atlanta trap sound at all I don't see what's not to like.

Thats one thing we can definitely agree on. The production is top notch no doubt about that.

But I think this applies to most music nowadays, not just rap.
Using too much electronic sound, and voice synthesizers or whatever. Their's still good rap being made, just not on MTV...if that's still a thing.
Underground rap for the most part blows too...
Take a trip to world star hip hop and watch these unsigned artists. They are just as garbage as all the ones you hear on the radio. I'm sure there's probably a couple that are great, but pretty much all that I've seen have just been imitators of rap stars.
All flash and no substance. A lot of talk about mansions and moving coke and driving fancy cars. They see what sells and try to live that persona as much as possible. The music is always a low low priority.

lifetime hip hopper here. i think jay rock's album is good. the beats are ridiculous.

aside from that, i don't have much else for this year for rap. last year was an incredible year for music but this one has been overall lackluster for every style of music i listen to. i've been mostly listening to really old stuff (i've been on an 80's post-punk kick for a few months now).

I really like DS2. I think the hype comes from the fact that Future's last couple albums/mixtapes were some weak ass pop shit. DS2 sounds closer to some actual Future shit.

I disagree with that. Honest was on the poppy side but is still a good album IMO, but the 3 mixtapes that followed it (Monster, Beast Mode, and 56 Nights) are all fire imo. DS2 beats all of em though.
Malcolm, what other newer rappers are you into besides Hopsin? Just curious. This question extends to anyone in this thread, I'm always looking for new stuff to check out.
Haven't heard the new Jay Rock yet but will probably listen to it when I'm done studying

Honestly, up until DS2, I didn't like anything he made after Pluto.

Travis scott is pretty legit , was kinda expecting more from his last album that got out recently but there is still a couple of good tracks on there. look up antidote and 3500(feat future and 2chainz)
his live performance are turnt as hell, would love go to a show like that
