Specifically about fucking "hoes"? Because if they're referring to women in any pejorative context then there's obvious misogyny there, but rapping about casual sex with women is not inherently misogynistic.
And yes, I agree none of the three are shining examples in this regard. They're just better than average.

To be entirely fair, Biggie has a song where he rapes and murders a little girl.
And it bumps, Dead Wrong is dope as hell

Kodak just doing his thing. Can't fuck with Yachty, Uzi and XXX.
You feel cool now?
Four minutes into the video and he still hasn't actually said his hot take. Get to the point, Melonhead.

Both artists are absolute trash and good on Eric for calling their shit out.
On the broader subject, pretty much all genres of music dominated by men (country, and various forms of rock are great examples) are pretty misogynistic...almost as if the central issue is men and not the type of music.

You're probably a good person, but dude, don't make it sound like this would be more understandable if she wasn't gorgeous.

One of my first exposures to X was a video compilation of fights he's had with people. Dude is violent for like no reason.

I figured someone would post this. But to do that to ANY woman is deplorable. Just awful. Fuck him.

Those two freshman class XXL mags make me weep for the future of rap music.
I've been a die-hard fan of hip hop my entire life and I have certainly enjoyed artists with questionable personal lives, but Kodak black is a step too far to me. Fuck that dudes entire existence. Xxxtenacion can fuck right off too. It's one thing to have a criminal past provoked by living in poverty and under the thumb of institutional racism. Dealing drugs, even theft and robbery. I don't condone any of that, but I get it. But beating your pregnant girl and rape? Naw, fuck naw. Go sit on a serrated dildo you fuckboys.
Also they are both absolutely garbage rappers, like bottom of the shitpile embarrassing pre-k level.

Lil Dickey is the only good rapper in those groups, if not just for how unique he is.

XXL does not dictate the future of Hip Hop. Every year someone says Hip Hop is over and every year it still comes out on top.

And your opinion goes out the damn window.
Kamiayah, A Boogie, Amine, and Ugly God are leagues better than Lil "I started rapping so I could getting into television & film only to realize rap is making me famous" Dicky.

This guy is fan of Tyler the Creator and that dude puts some of the most grotesque shit ever in his records. Or is it okay when your favorite hipster rapper does it for shock humor and satire?

Andre is specifically talking about people who have actually committed crimes. Tyler doesn't do anything he raps about. Not only that but he's calmed down on the shock rap a whole lot.

Kamiayah I can't take seriously because she remind me of my former Gym teacher in junior high. I watch her rap and I feel compelled to run laps

Youre right, Tyler's matured and moved on to trolling everyone about his sexual orientation for headlines.

Personally can't stand XXX for these reasons and I can't deal with the edge Lord persona . My God his part on the XXL cipher made me cringe so hard

Who TF is he trolling? He came out low-key and everyone got into his business about it. Unless there's some social media stuff I'm missing.
Either way it has nothing to do with rape charges and beating women so keep those goalposts where they are.

I mean, dude can troll people all day for all I care, he really ain't hurting anyone besides some egos, and as far as I know he was genuinely coming out.
That's a far cry from the charges on these other dumbasses.
Like, the comparison is so far out of whack, I have no idea why you are bringing it up.

They apparently filmed the cypher 10 times, and XXL used his edgelord version. Here's a version with new footage that shows X a little more in line with the other rappers

Wow thanks for that , that was much better than what I remember of the original. Don't know why they chose the other version

He just brought the topic of his sexual orientation up again last week then did an about face on twitter. But that's not really my point. The discussion in here was about misogyny in music and Tyler, who Eric Andre likes, is one of the worst offenders.
Nigga. What.
Also I'm still waitin on proof Tyler's trollin bout bein gay btw
Besides internet fucks playin guessin games like they know shit
nah Eric Andre was calling those dudes out for being shit people in real actual life

Last week he said he had a boyfriend when he was 15, then he went on twitter to tell everyone he was just being the troll that he is.
I would literally rather listen to ICP or Twiztid than XXX.
LOOOOOLLLLLLLL
But yeah, that was Kodak Black alright. Even went out of his way to precise that he meant dark skinned black women specifically, which makes him look like an even bigger clown considering his skin tone.

Fuch these 2 Jabronies. Gutter people.
Gotta say, though, I really don't think personality or personal history matter in the slightest when it comes to the music itself. Hvis lyset tar oss alone is proof enough of this. Condemn them, never the work.
They're both crap, though, so it makes this easy. Makes it almost too easy to ignore their ass when there's great stuff like Vince Staples or Brockhampton popping up around you constantly.

You stopped paying attention to it. There has been no shortage of great rap music the past 2/3 years.
Wow he said nothing in 11 minutes. "I don't know", truly the most insightful of takes.
There's good stuff still coming out, but 99% of what is on the radio has always been trash. Even when Big, and Pac, and Wu, and Nas were popular most of what was on the radio was hot garbage.
That has always been the case and always will be.
Though, i do remember when GAF was stanning for Desiigner.A lot of people still stan for Migos, and I think they will be regarded very poorly in a few years.
I deadass don't believe a word out that nigga's mouth 99% of the time
But ain't no grown man saying faggot that much for no reason
