You really listened to every single one? Be honest

i listen to all the links you provided, yes.. but i figured when you had Drake #1 followed by Lil Wayne at #2- i pretty much knew what i was going to hear.. i tried my best to go in unbiased.. there was very, very marginal lyrical content.

So pretty much all you listen to is rap?  Yeah... I don't think you're qualified to judge who the "best artist" in music is today.  You really need to broaden your tastes man.  I have a hard time even considering Drake an artist.  He's about as generic as it gets and he's like the Justin Bieber of rap.

 

Maybe among your friends, or wherever it is you go to high school at rap is the most popular, but no way in hell is it "by far" is it the dominant genre right now.  But yeah, you're gonna find out real quick once you get out of that high school phase that a lot of kids around that age are just followers and haven't even discovered their own tastes yet.  A lot just like whatever the majority of the kids around them like.

 

Hell, I don't even know if you're old enough to remember when rap was really poppin'.  I'd say it was a lot bigger throughout the 90s to very early 2000s (stress very early, because it started to go to poo sometime after mid-2000s IMO).

I listen to edm r&b and I actually do listen to rock occasionally, there are some good rock bands but a lot of it is horrible

Rap has gotten so weak in the last decade. When the guy most consider to be the best rapper in the game was a former CO that is now a self-proclaimed king of coke and he looks like the fuging michelin man... poo is fuged up.

Drake is talented, but there is no real creativity in what he does outside of his lyrics, OCCASIONALLY. Mainly his punchlines. Outside of those, his music is the typical sold out, pop-friendly, industry crafted stuff that each generation of music has. A guy that cross-appeals to several different genres and is mainstream friendly. That's an industry-backed artist...

Music right now is a joke when those guys are at the forefront. The best rappers out there are mostly the same guys it was 10 years ago... Guys like Kanye, Jay, Mos, Game, Fabolous, etc. There's a couple promising artist - A$AP, Big Sean, Cudi (kind of), Wale (many would disagree but I think he's gifted), many would throw Meek in there, but most everything else rap-wise is corny and hype-generated.

To me the most promising artists out there are probably guys like Miguel and The Weeknd. They are kind of pushing the boundaries and blurring the genres while maintaining their creative license and identity in doing so... their sound is new and yet, reminiscent at the same time.

But, that's just my opinion... music is so subjective but I can promise you, poo has went downhill over the last 5 years or so. The quality is just so bad. Just like television has changed over the same course of time (the shift to heavily doctored "reality" TV, the tendency to fake things until people believe it, dumb is cool, etc.), music has mirrored that shift.

My generation came up with guys like Pharrell/Neptunes, Timbaland, and the like as they came to the forefront of music... whereas now, your "big producers" are nonames making beats on bootleg protools out of their mom's house. And it's empty... all it is, is pretty much "chant music" for artists who lack true creativity and/or flow... here's looking at you chief keef.

But again, thats my opinion... and you know what they say about those.

I've never heard or seen anyone claim Rick Ross is the best rapper out there.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
