point is, no one ever says anything funny or clever in verse, and the fact you think they do, just says more about your level of humour than it does anything else and the fact you think their parody of a rap was a serious attempt to copy what is, at best ,a lame ass school playground spat, no differnt to tow kids flailing at each other with their hands, put into childish words, just makes all the more risable

Even they they started rapping young and dissing young…… Well except Em and Benzino at that time. ‘I'm pushing 30, you're kicking 40s door down… bitch this war now' Listen to Eminem The Sauce for a masterclass in disses. And that was the end of what little career Benzino had. To be fair, he got rich outside of rap. And that also took a hit.

Rap in other countries is about social and political issues, not about immature egos

by Smooth_Surprise_8243 1 week ago

Have you even listened to Kendrick Lamar? He's known for rapping about social issues. Also, rap music originated in the US.

by modestomarquard 1 week ago

Not all of it, plus the rappers in other countries all learnt this art style from the American rappers. Also rap doesn't need to be about social/politics to be good, sometimes it's just fun, for some reason people think that you always need to learn something from rap or it has to have a movement etc. Rap about social/politics can be cringe as hell too.

Exactly, RMX for instance is a perfect example of that (though can be enjoyed purely for the flow, all rappers deliver insanely good on it). However, not all ex-US rap is deep, and not all US rap is about immature egos. But the trend overall is as you described it.

It's the extent of knowledge about rap that also contributes to it. Rap beefs have been happening pretty much since the creation of rap. Some have been silly, some entertaining, and some were just ruthless.

Agreed. 90% of today's rap/trap in general is cringe af. I don't want to listen to a dude screaming in the mic for 4 minutes about how many women/cars/money/drugs/chains he has, or a girl saying "my p*ssy" every single sentence. There are some really well made rap songs, with lyrics about social and personal issues and stuff. But the vast majority of popular songs of this genre are honestly trash nowadays.

Open Mike Eagle raps are chill stuff, NF raps about his insecurities mostly, he does have some "I'm so cool" type lyrics but its mostly "I have anxiety". Logic has some songs that are also not about attacking anyone else. Open Mike Eagle raps about like just daily life stuff which is cool.

A rap diss is like a verbal boxing match, a war of words, it takes creativity to come up with the phrases that some of these rappers come up to insult each other. People have been writing each other letters since the beginning of time in order to not actually fight physically. It might be cringe to you because you might not have the backbone to stand up for yourself and so coward in the corner pointing your finger at these dudes. Its also essential to the rap scene literally how it started in NYC parks in the 80s.
