Is it me or are rappers getting extremely boring these days? From the new group of "hipster" rappers to the vets in the game, thing's are getting just a tad too dry for me. So I decided to compile a quick list of 5 things rappers should stop doing that might improve the game slightly.
These are in no particular order, but after reading..post your top 5.
#5. Using AutoTune
Alright, after an entire year of 90% of rappers using AutoTune in their tracks, I'd say we've had enough. You are NOT a pioneer, you are NOT being original, and you do NOT sound all that great, so cut that shit out. Plus, have any of ya'll ever heard AutoTune being used live in concert? It sounds like straight ass.
#4. Using The Word "Swag"
Ok lets be honest here, if you're a guy and you willingly admit and publicaly express that another dude has "mad swag" you're pretty much saying you're gay. Saying another dude has mad swag is just the same as saying you'd let him take you to the movies and buy you gummy bears.
#3. Hating On Bloggers
Aside from Obama/Politically driven songs, hating on bloggers has been the IT thing for rappers to do this year. Why even bother rappers? You have to realize that in the digital age, Bloggers are pretty much record breakers--they are the new DJ Clues, Funk Flex, etc. So why hate on a blogger for talking about you? There's no such thing as bad publicity--unless a paparazzi catches you with a dead hooker in the trunk of your car..that..that's pretty bad.
#2. Songs shouting out Liquor and Clothing Brands
No one seemed to have learned from the whole Jay-Z/Cristal fiasco that went down a few years ago. Rappers, BIG BRANDS--REALLY big brands-- don't want your endorsement--so stop giving them free advertisement and creating trends with their brands. Loui & Gucci don't want T.I. pushing their product and Cristal doesn't want you popping their champagne.
#1. Pretending To Be Tough
Here's a tip for new rappers and old alike. Stop pretending to be tough--because someone is bound to test you on it. Before the age of Youtube and light speed information, rappers could get a pass on pretending to be tough because even if someone did in fact smack them up for talking that ish, most people would never know about it---today however, is a different day--thanks to the internets we get play by play on when a rapper gets their Transformer chain snatched then subsequently slapped across the face Ari Gold style by another rapper.
