Hip hop that's not draconian
 

No weak bars no bullshit trap garbage.

Just read the comments on the video.

This shit was Tremendously Retarded And Seriously Hopeless

Lowkey is one of my favourite UK MCs, He definitely killed this

Says the one who listens to a rapper called gucci mane


LOL

I agree Fidel. His flow is immaculate and his lyrics are insane

I can do that... and I can listen to Nicki Minaj, Rae Sremmurd, Uzi Vert, Yachty, migos, Post Malone, etc. Unlike you straight hip hop only niggas, I like to enjoy music just for the fun and catchiness. If you only listen to RAW hip hop, you need to expand.

Shit was cool. It still suffers from the same shit almost every other "Imma go hard with lyrics cus everybody is shallow and has nothing to say" approach lacks. Like using the same monotone pitch the entire verse, I dont think he used a vocal inflection even once. Multis & flow structure are adept, but it feels like an incomplete picture if you listen to this through any other filter than some slam poetry over-focusing/only focusing on content perspective.

This has less to do with Lowkey, but anyone else beginning to hate ideological rap crutches? So many people get on using the "I stray from draconian rap structure, my content is conscious & deep" stencil only to fall into its gravity well & become high horse riding faggots as if the ability to focus more on writing than sound is unheard of. Can't believe I'm actually leaning more on the side of pop culture rapping, but jesus christ its at least 100% less pretentious and doesn't take itself so seriously.

Honestly I agree. How come these niggas who think they top tier lyricist can't make a good song or make some shit with a message w/ catchiness frfr? I mean some shit ppl will actually listen to and not out of pity

I'm a fan of art period. I like hearing different deliveries and creative ways that ppl present their MESSAGE on the beat.. Nobody interested in just hearing random words from someone trying to be deep

I've listened to REAL hip-hop since I was like 7. I switched to the new-age shit due to ASAP Rocky when he first came out, and listened to my fair share of new shit up until about 3 months ago. I realized, that I am actually in this for the sport. Catchiness is great for clubs, and when i'm popping bottles with the homies or some bitches - but if you ever catch me listening to music alone, it definitely isn't fucking Gucci. I've honestly just been listening to strictly Eminem/Old School 50/D12 lately.

Im from Toronto, everyone's listening to Drake while out my whip bumps shit like.... 'The only key that I see to defeat you, would be for me to remove these two addidas and beat you, and force feed you 'em both, and on each feet is a cleat shoe - I lift you off your feet so fast with a roundhouse, you think I pulled the ground out from underneath you, (bitch!) I ain't no G, I ain't trying to shoot you, I'm trying to chop you into pieces and eat you, wrap you with rope and plastic, stab you with broken glasses, strapped to a soaken mattress, cloaks and daggers, fuck the planet until it spins on a broken axis, I'm so banana's im showing up to your open casket, to fill it full of explosive gases, and close it back with a lit match in it, blow you to fragments, laugh, roll you and smoke the ashes." - Eminem

(I typed that out as I sang it in my head, but I think I got a few of the lyrics wrong - you get the point... the shit is just on another level).

Always good to listen to everything. Don't be that one goon that sits in the corner of the party shaking their head cause no biggie is playing. Then again don't be that one fuckboy who only listens to hypebeast music and says everything from the past is whack.

There's appeal to mindless music about drugs sex and using a gun

Spare me that shit is nonsense
