The only thing worse than rap is country rap.

The only thing worse than rap is country rap.

which seems to be about a quarter of the the new country tunes.. or so.

edit: so long as they got a banjo in there somewhere...

You must not know about the healthiest rapper in the game then. He smokes broccoli.

Wha bout asparagus??

Rap sucks now. Auto tune losers

there is as much if not much, much more auto tune in country music, radio dock, and pop today than rap.

This induced a lot of self-loathing, but if it helps makes for a more exciting ESD, lets go. @Atlanta VOL

Not an oldhead by any means, but I do have to agree that a lot of the new POPULAR rap is awful. Still plenty of artists putting out incredible work, but the most popular stuff is hot garbage. Migos, garbage now, Drake, good on anything but his own albums, and 69, Xxx, and that whole trap movement make me laugh at how bad they are.

I wanted to like it for the smoothness of the edit, but I can't bring myself to hit the button for some reason...

Forced myself for the craftsmanship.

Nike uses a lot of typefaces, but their iconic one (just do it) is futura condensed. This is Gotham bold, and league sheared (which is what UT is using on everything this year).

Very well may be. Pulled from YouTube.

You are just on a whole different level. They need to let you run the jumbotron at Neyland.

The way I read it... I thought he wanted it to say "Tennessee in Orange"...

... thought that sounded odd lol

 

[Big Sun]

What's some good hip hop artists nowadays? I used to listen to NWA, Too Short, Tupac, KRS-One, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, some more underground stuff, etc.

Thought you’d like that one.

Migos was ever good? Drake might as well be a R&B singer far as I'm concerned ...

I can dig some G-Eazy, J. Cole, Earl Sweatshirt, Black Thought, that Pusha T album was good, Lil Wayne and Eminem still doing their thing... but yea... most the stuff you've heard of is trash

As someone who likes every artist you named, my first suggestion would be Run The Jewels (aside: they put on better live shows than 99% of any artists out there; any genre), then it would be J.Cole (still very old school in his approach, but newish in terms of his material), and finally I would suggest Freddie Gibbs (very old school sounding in terms of flow, plus it just bumps). Honorable Mentions would be: Childish Gambino (real different/artisitc), Vince Staples (very raw sounding, but also very talented), and Young Thug (if you don't mind auto-tune and like people exploring their genre)

Ha, G-Eazy once opened for one of my bands at a venue in Baton Rouge in front of 30 people years ago. He had his instrumental demos on a CD and sang over them, karaoke style. Cut his set short after about 6 songs. Such a crazy thing now that he’s a superstar.

Migos circa 2012/2013 and before were new and innovative, but now they're regurgitated radio trash. Agree on Drake. G-Eazy is lame sorry, J.Cole is the best doing it solo right now, Earl is very niche but very talented, Black Thought is very enjoyable, Pusha T is the only one still rapping like a southern rapper right now, Wayne's D6 and D6Reloaded were way better than his Carter V but yeah he's still better than most out there, and Em is washed up and trying to be topical with weak raps. Em was only good on drugs as much as that sucks to say.
