Upcoming rappers that are getting too much hype? (Back to The Forum)

Who are they to you?

Mac Miller, Tyler The Creator, Lil B (that’ll end up in some ICP shit some day)

I made a post about this not long ago, I said Hopsin is getting too much hype.

A$AP rocky is getting way too much to me.. I don’t like his music at all.

Kendrick is getting too much as well. Don’t get me wrong he’s definitely good just not THAT good.. like people are acting like he’s the best technical and lyrical rapper out there(when that’s FAR FAR from the truth). People just act like he’s the GOAT already or something it’s crazy.. simply because his music has a bit of substance. Also he has a complete lack of Charisma and NEVER gets knocked for that when there’s other rappers I know of get knocked for that and that alone. Oh well though.

It seems the REALLY most skilled coming up artists are the ones that aren’t getting enough unfortunately.

I agree that Kendrick isn’t the greatest, but section 80 is a really good album. In part because of the production. I like how his tracks are put together though, not just the lyrics and the substance. I’m a huge Mac Miller fan but the last tape and the debut album was horrible.

Kendrick Lamar. People are saying this dude is the future GOAT, I can barely think of anything more eye-rollingly ridiculous than that. For real, I fuck with like three songs on Section.80. Now, to be fair, that’s mostly because of the beats and hooks, but Kendrick doesn’t do all that much to increase my opinion of it. He uses a really laid back flow, that often just sounds lazy and boring to me (kinda annoying trend in mainstream hip hop, Cole and Wiz have the same problem imo), and while his lyrics are good, they aren’t anything amazing. He’s a good technical story-teller but none of his stories are particularly interesting. Idk, he’s obviously not bad, but the way people hype him I expected a lot more, and I definitely expected way, way more from S.80.

J. Cole

As for Tyler, the Creator I think there are alot more people hate him than people that like him.

Personally, I enjoy his music.

Hopsin? I mean his first album was dope, but people just stan his second one like it’s the greatest thing ever.

I hate Hopsin. He can spit really well, but his music is just bad to me. I don’t see why anyone likes it. And he sounds like a 14-year-old white girl to me.

But one who doesn’t seem to get enough hype unless it’s among heads is Big Krizzle. His flow is sooooo sick, his voice is amazing, his beats are banging, he can write party songs AND in depth storytelling songs, he has great lyricism, he has great voice inflection and charisma, there just isn’t anything I don’t like about dude.

I definitely think he has better substance, and an all around better style than K.Dot, even though I’m a huge fan of Section.80

Supermotherfuckingvillain….on point. Kendrick is strait. I fuck with his old shit, and his buzzed fizzled when he made C4 to me. I just stopped caring and he got boring. Training Day (I justrecently listened to it, haven’t in years. Shit rides.) and the tape he did with Jay Rock, where I think he got out shined by Jay Rock. Section80 isn’t that special to me, but I wasn’t in awe or anything. It’s a strait album, alot better than the stuff that comes out now, but it ain’t no bonafide classic and Kendrick isn’t the “savior” of West Coast rap….honestly if Hopsin got off his weirdness and stopped crying about everyone else’s fame he’s be WAY better than Kendrick.

Any rapper that just sounds BORING on the mic (Mac Miller, Tyga, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Wale).

Machine Gun Kelly and Mac Miller. MGK isn’t that big, but he doesn’t deserve any hype at all since he has no talent.

You only like A$AP if you party. If you don’t like his music let it be, don’t hate. Wale got way too much hype. Ambition wasn’t even good.

Tyler, The Creator
MBK (Machine Bum Kelly)
Whack Miller

I love A$AP because some of the stuff he puts out is just laid back and I don’t party much. Kendrick is a bit overrated now but I feel he has potential to be one of the best. I loved Section 80. I wish that Ab-Soul would get the same attention, his flow is too unique. I agree that Hopsin does need to quit whining about the success of others. Dude makes music that appeals to an underground audience. He was removed from my playlist for that reason. It’s annoying.

Big K.R.I.T. don’t get me wrong i like some of his songs and i think he’s doing the south justice, but people are overrating him.

I still don’t understand why people don’t like Mac Miller. On KIDS and BDE the production was AMAZING, and he has a nice flow. Wale has been putting out wack shit since going to MMG, and boy do I hate Hopsin. As stated above, its just bad music. A teenager here and there might listen to his crap so they can be “different”, but who in the fuck that’s in their right mind would listen to that shit?

MGK

kid is trash

I’m sensing a lot of MGK hate on this forum…

But really doe, I think the dude Hopsin is getting a little too much hype. Dont get me wrong, the kid has an ear for beats and his flow is on point, but he whines too much. If I wanted to hear whining I’d listen to Drake

I honestly don’t know why people hate Hopsin so much, i guess it’s mainly Odd Future fans, but can someone explain to me how Gazing At The Moonlight is better than Raw? Because i think that’s nonsense.

The thing about Hopsin is that he has the lyricism of a mature rapper and yet his subject matter is that of a 11 year old. it weird….

@Sensezi

Emeniem like?

@maxipad I go to one of the top party schools in the nation.. the same one that playboy said were professional partiers and they couldn’t rate us anymore.. point is I party a lot and still hate A$AP

^ Listen to it while your high on anything.

I honestly don’t think Hopsin has that great of lyricism, but that’s all subjective I guess.

MGK is horrible

“ook up his cypher for BET "Cobain’s back i smell like Teen Spirit man Cobain’s back” give me a break. He didn’t deserve to be in the same room as the MCs that were in that cypher.

Why would MGK be on Black Entertainment Television?

BET is garbage anyways…….why da fuck was Justin Bieber at the award show?

not hating on white peeople btw

All of them

I hate on white peeeeople.

I’ll say this now and forever, Wale has been fucking TERRIBLE compared to his mixtape days, ever since he got signed to MMG. His mixtape songs had substance, had stories behind them, and w/ Rick Ross polluting his mind, Idk if we’ll ever hear a gem like The Breakup Song again.

As much of a Kendrick Lamar fan I am, he is definitely getting hyped up too much. Not saying he doesn’t deserve it but he hasn’t even perfected his sound so I would like it if people stopped making him the GOAT as you guys said earlier.

Another guy who I also like but is getting hyped up in my opinion is Childish Gambino. Again, not saying he doesn’t deserve it but his style is so bland and repetitive to me. He has some nice punchlines but I don’t know. He’s kind of like a more lyrical version of Mac Miller to me. Speaking of which, Mac Miller also fits this category.

jizz khalifa although he aint that new his raps lack substance … actually it has alot of substance just not the kind im looking for, it has bad lyricism

Every on is banging on about that new guy Future his voice goes true my head and as far as that tony montanna song dont get me started.

And that kid tyga has some of the wackest shit out right now has any one heard that “ rack city bitch ” track <<< —– who is paying for this music

Instrumental Rap Beats

Free Rap Beats

Tyga’s not wack. I hate how people try to say he is because of that one song, you probably never listened to any of his other songs.

Asap rocky,mac miller,tyler the creator…and idk maybe its where i live but niggas here dont mess with kendrick at all…

From a person who grew up worshiping Nirvana, I think it’s downright disrespectful for Machine Gun Kelley talkin' all that Kurt Cobain shit. Seriously, that’s fucked up and can’t wait to see that kid tossed in the back bin. Besides that, he is fake as fuck and you can hear it in his lyrics. It’s disgusting.

All of them. Fans and the media are too quick to crown everyone as soon as the drop a 7/10 mixtape as long as it vaguely different (or marketable) than what’s currently out. No one gets the chance to build anything anymore. It’s just the product of the era now because everyone can produce and upload something to the internet (which the good outweighs the bad to me) and then they amass a cult following based off a couple hot guest verses or 1 hit single.

@eNTiTy

Tyga can choose to actually rap when he wants to but he’s mostly trash. I will admit that there were a few gems on Black Thoughts and Black Thoughts 2 but the fact that he has a lot of songs as wack if not wacker than Rack City makes him trash.

Wale

I’m not sure if he’s even up and coming in people’s minds, but his 2 albums that he has put out have been mediocre at best. He isn’t a deep lyricist, he rides the MMG labe, and he has an unattractive pop-rap sound to me. It’s not even the typical pop-rap stuff, it’s just annoying shit that buzzes the airwaves. I completely loathe him.

This is for the Kendrick Lamar haters.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgASe3CIw9E We are not calling him the GOAT and he deserves the hype imo his flow is sick his lyrics are even better!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00cr3g6wCG0 ^ That is why he deserves the hype. Just Listen.

MGK isnt that bad, listen to his 100 words and running mixtape. He “was” good on that.

French Montana is someone getting too much hype.

To me Kendrick Lamar is the best Hip-hop artist alive. Rappers with too much hype are Tyler the Creator, MGK, and Lil B. People should be hyping up Los, Blu, Fashawn, and Ab-Soul. Them, Kendrick, and Cole are my favorite rappers.

Kendrick is getting too much hype. He’s a great rapper, but the I worry all the hype will just make him go mainstream.

A$AP Rocky is in my opinion nothing new, and therefore getting way too much hype.

Mac Miller isn’t really new, but I still think people make too big of a deal about him.

I read my post in this thread from a year ago and couldn’t believe my words.

I don’t think ASAP rocky is great, but since even the rappers that I previously liked (Big Sean, wale, Mac miller) all seam to suck now, I think his hype is much more deserved than some other artist. Also, when I first heard his album it surprised me, because I wasn’t feeling his mixtape at all. I think the album was a big improvement.

I honestly dont understand why people love Odd Future, dont get me wrong, those guys have some skill and their hilrious but their music makes my head hurt

I think discussions on rappers receiving “too much hype” is a taboo subject.

My reason for this statement is that you as a fan of music should always make your own opinion on the current musician being promoted in the media. If you don’t like the musician, simply avoid the sites or the media that is/are hyping him/her/them up.

Maybe you’ll even get to like the music later on as they improve and release new shit.

Wale

I’m not sure if he’s even up and coming in people’s minds, but his 2 albums that he has put out have been mediocre at best. He isn’t a deep lyricist, he rides the MMG labe, and he has an unattractive pop-rap sound to me. It’s not even the typical pop-rap stuff, it’s just annoying shit that buzzes the airwaves. I completely loathe him.

Actually listen to some of his music pre MMG or at least, any of his songs that aren’t super mainstream. Guy has some multi-syllables, and some clever wordplay/punchlines
