Guy can beat his girl on camera and still have stans defending that mess
For christsakes, even Lil Wayne uses interesting rhyme schemes and clever metaphors. This crap is almost a parody, like Eric Cartman wrote a rap album
Here's a secret. All these dudes rap for 16 year olds. Go on soundcloud and every single dude on there just doing Playboi Carti raps. Go to any Lil Uzi or Travis Scott shows. Amine spits clever funny raps over unique (at least in the current landscape of hip hop) beats.

I mean, if we can criticize art like movies and books for their harmful messages and what they say about their creators, I'm not sure why rap gets that magic pass..
Yeah, this is starting to sound awfully similar to The Blue Wall Of Comedic Silence.
Honestly it doesn't matter if you pick multiple people.
You can literally call out one person for being a piece of shit, you don't have to be obligated to form a list of people. This stupid mentality kills me.

Chance, J Cole and Kendrick seem to have reasonable views toward women. And they're all established artists unlike these flash-in-the-pan rappers whose careers won't make it to 2019.

Now I feel bad for being rude... So, sorry about that!
Isn't an internet happy ending so rare?

I'm betting XXX will go back to jail before his first album drops.
Edit: Huh, I guess I'ma lose that bet on the 25th.

Ehh can't speak for all but J Cole has spitted some dumb shit in some songs, specifically one song that is honestly misogynist as fuck.
Not same levels as these dudes though.

J Cole agrees.
"Bunch of words and ain't sayin' shit, I hate these rappers
Especially the amateur eight week rappers
Lil' whateverjust another short bus rapper
Fake drug dealers turn tour bus trappers
Napoleon complex, you this tall rappers
Get exposed standin' next to 6'4" rappers
The streets don't fuck with you, you Pitchfork rappers
Chosen by the white man, you hipster rappers
I reload the clip, then I hit more rappers with that
Straight shittin' on these piss-poor rappers, I'm back."

Kodak and XXX make really good music

Kodak is probably the most naturally talented rapper out today
XXX's music is a hybrid of punk and other rock, screamo, and hip hop. Really unique stuff
I have nothing to add to the main topic but the music is great

Isn't XXX the one that knelt down for his XXL cypher and mumbled some acapella pseudo-satanic edge-lord garbage instead of actually rapping? He's like the 2nd string quarterback for the Insane Clown Posse.

That XXX song is interesting but repetitive and Kodak is still whatever, imo.

Yeah. I mean i've dug alot of the instrumental stuff i've heard form him, just sucks he's a fucking piece of shit, and awful lyricist. I feel like the dude is more of a meme than an acknowledged artist, but you cant fucking tell anymore.

Kodak is a worse version of Boosie who's already fucking terrible
XXX is an edgelord who looks to not be making a ton of improvement
Fuck em both
Kodak was the worst in the 2016 XXL and X was close in the 2017 list. Not only are they shit people, but they suck

see like no one is even really calling this good. Its just maymays everywhere. Dude is just on so many edgy meme-tier levels that it's ridiculous.
Like if we're gonna talk dark lyricism in hip hop then just go listen to Beware instead of this dumb kid.
Edit: Let's bless these XXX preteens with some good stuff that released this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AR7SenR2Hc

Jesus, these lyrics reminds me of G-Mo Skee a little.
Though G-Mo's a bit more tongue-in-cheek as he treats himself as the Anthony Jeselnik of rap, but XXX looks to be a straight up psycho.

It's ok to admit you just like the beats. Them 808s go hard. I know.

you fucking young people
It took what, two posts before we got an awful take like this? Jesus GAF, you never fail to disappoint.
Some more than others imo. I would say to be only 21, Boogie is the more mature one.
I believe things are cyclical though, i think eventually lyrics and wordplay will matter more than they do now.

I never got on the XXXT train. I like a few of Kodak's songs, but I don't condone rape.
I'm comfortable boycotting their shit. Thanks for the heads up.

Not gonna lie, I can fuck with Kodak sonically, at least to a point
his dumb ass flow is infectious. Not a fan of him as a person though
the XXX kid is so obviously not for me though, I don't think I ever heard his shit and I want to keep it that way.
I don't like these new jacks even falling under the banner of Hip-Hop, honestly. I actually like enough music from Lil Uzi Vert but he's not what I'd call Hip-hop

The messages behind a lot of rap is something I've struggled with to reconcile for a while now. Like I'm a big fan of Tyler, especially his early work when he's literally rapping about kidnapping, raping, and then killing a woman. I'm drawn to a lot of aggressive, dark music yet it's not who I am personally. Luckily Tyler hasn't had his Milkshake Duck moment but XXX pretty much came on the scene with these accusations right behind him, but I still dig the music. It gives me some pause when I support him but I know he's done some fuccshit. And there are plenty of other rappers i like too that have some questionable things on their rap sheet (pun intended 😎

I don't know where I'm going with this just really wanted to add something.

Am I the only who listens to XXX songs ironically?
The beats and lyrics are so bad they almost sound like a parody.

Whoa!!! Didn't even know that. He's even more of a Pos now. Poor girl.
Chance, J. Cole and Kendrick all have songs about fucking hoes.

That's probably the most accurate course of action people will take. All those retweets and the next release will trend in seconds.

Damn. Well Chris Brown's career was undoubtedly hurt after he beat Rhianna but he's still out there making music with a pretty large fanbase. Its a shame this doesn't completely ruin their career but fans are very forgiving to a fault.
