"Macklemore connects with DJ Premier to start 2023 off with a vicious attack of lyrical supremacy." Rappers Who Flourish in Hip Hop Without The Black Audience Definitely wasn't expecting this to drop a day after my 33rd birthday. Seeing this as I was scrolling tha feed had me initially thinking it was some photoshopped clickbait thumbnail lol. Nevertheless, I put it to tha side until I had time to actually sit and check it out. Okay, Hip Hop. It's time we have an honest conversation about just how dope  Macklemore  is. It's songs like these that are tha reason I said Mack deserved that Grammy over Lamar, even though he Mack disagreed himself. The Heist exemplified Macklemore's true potential. And as an artist and fanatic myself, I was able to see how good Haggerty is and his potential for greatness. "Macklemore's line "Wanted the perm like DJ Quik" is relevant evidence in our conversation about how Hip Hop influences our communities...for b...

  While speaking to Math Hoffa, DaBaby said , “If I don’t feel like you know nothing about this s**t, I’m not about to try and exploit my real life anyways, I’m just doing me.” He continued speaking about the music business and how he creates music that serves what fans like at the moment. While doing that, he made comparisons to artists who have gained massive success in the music industry. DaBaby recently appeared on ‘My Expert Opinion’ and talked about his rap style. He noted that he doesn’t like rapping about negative parts of his life, saying he doesn’t want to exploit it. He did note that if that were his thing, he would be one of the greatest. Dababy said, “Ok you can put this beat on and I’ll go Eminem level on that b***h, you gotta get one of them to come f**k with me. You gotta go get Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, I don’t wanna disrespect nobody but boy, raise your hand.” He continued saying, “I’m like that. N***as know too and I’m like that for real I don’t gotta ta...

Everett, WA based rapper Cory Tate runs down his list of albums..

HEADS UP: this article speaks to race being tha basis of our point as we believe Black people to be tha pioneers and innovators of Hip Hop as a way of life, but not as an industry. Kendrick Lamar lost a Grammy to tha likes of Macklemore , a white rapper from tha 206 who, in my humble opinion, actually deserved to win. Macklemore himself even spoke out and said that he felt Kendrick deserved that award for his latest album at tha time. But, while Mack gave in to how everyone else was already feeling, what about tha people who genuinely felt otherwise? What about tha people who felt Macklemore won it outright? Well, I'm sure you could care less about hearing from one of those fans. But, with such a race disparity in Hip Hop today, we must ask...how are rappers flourishing in Hip Hop today without tha Black audience? It's kinda like Arby's, tha restaurant. (Figuratively speaking) Nobody you know eats there yet they remain seemingly strong with spread out locations and memor...

  To me, Kendrick Lamar is like LeBron James. Yea, you da man and all, but I'm just not feeling you. I don't understand how I don't hear what others hear when it comes to Kendrick Lamar. He just doesn't do it for me. But, for tha record, I must say. Kendrick Lamar is a lyrical genius and he has worked hard to be where he is so I don't want my question here to be misconstrued. I'm actually keeping an open mind by asking you to refer one Kendrick Lamar song you think would change my mind.
