I think my favorite diss track back and forth was Quadeca and KSI, because the more aggressive and "tougher" persona got absolutely annihilated by a nerd with a lisp.

Have you heard Quadecas latest releases? He's a full blown artist now making phenomenal pieces of art. He has definitely broken the "YouTube rapper" curse.

Your first two sentences may be correct, but not so sure about the third one… I feel like that's a pretty common persona for them to take on.

"Persona" does not make someone a gangster. Some are wannabes, some just have the public persona, and some are actual gangsters

Because it's your life. I'm an artist, thus I express my own life and emotions through my work. Rap, for the most part, isn't any different from that ideology because it's a form of art.

I agree with you, and I love rap. Its just that whenever a song like Hit Em Up comes on, I cant imagine somebody dancing and vibing and performing with a such a good sense of rhythm while being so angry at the same time. Ive found the mental picture quite silly ever since this occured to me, it just doesnt match.

I feel you. I mean, I guess there's a difference between rap in the industry and actual street or so-called 'gangster' rap. E.g. Computers by 'Wooski.' All I can really say, being from this culture/environment, is that we tend to turn death and murder into comedy. Like, a friend dies, and you laugh and smile about it in public like it doesn't hurt, but you cry at home alone. I mention the last paragraph because in that way, you can want to kill someone (maybe in Hit Em Up) but also have a lot of energy which has to go somewhere and maybe that looks like vibing/dancing at the time, especially because you're on an industry camera for millions of people and have to look a certain way. Idk.

man imagine the angriest dude youve ever seen is about to pop you in your skull, but instead he puts his gun down and does a lil song and dance. I understand theres more behind it but I cant keep a straight face bruv.

Because if you killed them that‘d probably prove they're the better rapper

lol I saw this movie where an actor killed a guy - why would he film his crimes like this??? Wait… you're saying entertainment? Satire? Ohhhhhhhhhh /s

yeah lol nowadays its mostly just for clout but there used to be real beef behind this type of culture. people used to occasionally get shot over diss tracks back in the day.

Almost every rapper you've ever heard of has never done any of the things they rap about in terms of crime

Because that's how they made money, plus they didn't naturally want to sing about sex drugs and violence. They're forced too

I mean that's a bit reductive, but when you frame it like that yea it's kinda silly haha

Because people who rap aren't actual gangsters and don't kill people. Real "gangsters" are people that populate prisons. They don't talk about or pretend to commit crimes. They actually commit them and then face the consequences.

Yeah some rapper do have gangsta friends. I like to think of rappers as the "bards" of the gang

There's more people in prison on drug chargers than actual gangsters

That's like saying a death metal band is a bunch of pussies because they don't actually torture and kill people, they just sing songs about doing it. Technically you're right, but that isn't how entertainment works.

a lot of people are misunderstanding it seems

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Can you point out exactly what I misunderstood? I feel like I understood, I just disagree with your sentiment, but maybe I missed something.

by Bright_Ad6137 1 year ago

Ill grant it to you and everybody else that I worded it poorly. I just find the mental picture of of somebody doing a song and dance while being angry enough to kill someone very funny.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

So all rappers are gangsters who kill people?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

yes that is exactly what i was trying to say /s i did word it poorly but scroll down a bit and things should make more sense.
