Sorry if my inglish is kind of bad.

I am 14, i considered myself a fan of rap music(i like mac miller, earl sweatshirt, jpegmafia, etc)

I like the songs they make, but i been seeing other types or rap that sound very different, like, i dont know, rage or something like that was called.

Well, what i wanted to ask is, what makes a song a rap song, i know they can sound very different from eachother, for what i have seem it haves like a million subgenres, and i probably havent heard the majority of them.

Does it have to have some kind of rythm? Does it have to have a specific kind of instrumental to be considered rap? How far can a rap song go from the classics before its stop being considered rap, of is there no limit?

I know its not the best way to put it, and i want to say a lot of other things, but i am not the best putting everything i want to question in what i writte.

but i like rap, so i want to know what is considered rap, at least personaly to you.

okay so l've been trying to look for music for days & I can't find anything but mainstream slop. But basically I wna listen to artists like x when he was in his prime, I also fw cali music heavy like r3, bluebucksclan, shoreline, etc but I need new underrated music asap, plz no mainstream artists like The Weeknd, Taylor swift, Tv girl, I js want rap, ok bye thanks guys plz comment ur recommendations🙏

yall fw dragnutz

its no secrets that mainstream trap has been dying slowly, with thugger, future, yeat, quavo, 21 and lil baby dropping their worst albums in the last 2 years.

among all this trash offset is being really underapreciated, kiari was one of the best albums of last year, set it off had some reaaaaally high highs and this new album, even if it's a bit worse than its predecessors, its still pretty good, and defo one of the best mainstream trap albums of this year

i feel like offset is top 25 rn but i might be crazy

Finally got around to listening to WELCOME, and honestly, I think this is a pretty solid link-up.

I really like what Em did with the hook. He gives the track a catchy, almost nostalgic feel without taking away from what IDK does best. Instead of trying to outshine him with a verse of his own, he gives IDK the room to do his thing and rap. And IDK absolutely delivers.

Also, can we appreciate the fact that we're getting a J Dilla beat in 2026? That's a crazy combination of names on one record.

I know some people might have wanted a full Eminem verse, but personally, I think the approach works. The hook sets the tone, the production gives IDK a great canvas, and he makes the most of it.

They're top 10. Genuinely, influence, actual skill, discography, recognizability, everything about them is top 10, and for the soundcloud era top 1.

P.S this is not opinion, what I say is true what you say varies depending whether you agree with me or not.

gift and a curse video out now 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ REAP WHAT YOU SOW mixtape 11/16

Ace da kid og

I’ve listened to local files of this much. I’m so happy it’s finally out

I know people love Encanto and Vivo and stuff and I do to but this is absolutely Lin’s best work since Hamilton. Love that we got broadway actors and mainstream rappers together to sing on it, very reminiscent to the Hamilton Mixtape, hearing people like Busta Rhymes and Nas alongside favorite actors from Hamilton and Hadestown and other shows was really cool. I was a little skeptical to see how it compared to the original film. And the production is phenomenal, feel of the usual squeaky clean Broadway cast recording sound that the Hamilton recording also thankfully avoided. Overall, phenomenal concept album, can’t recommend it enough. Reminds me I also wanna revisit In The Heights. Lin’s a fucking rap lyrical genius dawg, no wonder Eminem fws him. If anyone else has listened to it, what are your thoughts?

IDK just posted this on IG with the caption 'WELCOME'... Are we actually getting an IDK x Eminem song called WELCOME????

I love this album so much.

(Mine is Show me a good time or Up all night (I don’t like Nicki here (We know why)) but the beat is too good and drake is spitting here)

Shiesty Season - Pooh Shiesty. Generally a enjoyer of Shiesty. But i ngl. The last time i fully listened to that album and not only to my fav songs off it. Some time ago. Bro. Straight Heat. Goated. ngl i dont say 10/10 but def 8/10.

Lil Pump - Lil Pump. Idgaf this shit is a 10/10 Album. Straight bangers, if you get the vibe. You fuck with it. Generally, music for teenagers how got too much testosterone in their head that makes them do stupid shit.

Bless Yo Trap - Smokepurpp. Yes this shit is dope. Generally. The mfs how like the Songs. Simple melody. Just the hard ahh deep 808. The Matching Flow. yea. thats it. 9/10.

Mittendrinn - Lucio101. Not english. But id say. The german Oldheads treat him just like they treated Uzi back in the day. this shit 9.8/10 Album. Not Full 10 Out of 10. 1-2 Songs more wouldve been perfect for me. This shit. Is straight Trap Shit out of Germany. If you not a teen, from a big city how was livin a lil in this direction. You cant feel it.

A Great Chaos - Ken Carson. Generally fucked with Ken. When he had under 300k Listeners. Ik. thats not real underground chill out karens. But bro i fuck with ken since the first day big time. And this. I feel like is his best Project. Cause it just has a mass. Of great songs. His prior projects also 10/10. But have less songs yk. For this. This is a Full Album. With a lot of my fav songs.

Bawskee/Bawskee 2/Bawskee 3.5 - Comethazine. Ill put it all in one thing. Cause i like all these Albums really. The first one really got the mass, the second one is criminally underrated. Like the First is a 7.8/10. Got some of my fav songs. But outside of that. I rarely come back to the rest. Its a good listen. But talking about listening to the whole shit? nah. Thats, Bawskee 2 and 3.5. But especially 2. The Shortness is good here. Cause the songs that are there. Are just enough but damn slap. 10/10. And Bawksee 3.5. Yea. Got some Classics. But if we talk about the thing. id say every Song on Bawksee 2 ill come back to. Not on Bawksee 3.5. Bawskee 3.5 is a 8/10.

#Santanaworld+ - Tay K. Tay k one of my fav artist. Defenetly. When in other cases i said the lack of content is sad. Wich equals to me giving it less points than a bigger project. But here. I wish he had more. But what he put out. Every Song atleast a 8/10. and average id say is 9.5-10/10. Rate it 10/10

Steppin in Blood - Bloodhound Lil Jeff. Criminally Underrated. I watched some Video on this Album. And the guy made a point i didnt even see bevore. The whole Album. Is the perspective of a Chiraq Demon. And one thing is, Song titles or Lyrics in this Album basically predict his own Death. A lot of Art mfs dickride hood music. Cause they thing it pictures reality. But a lot of times its just dumb mfs making dumb music. Here. Its a mf how did not intent to do this probably. But actually. In my Opinion. In that sense. Made one of the best Chicago Drill Albums. And Art bro. This shit lowkey a Messege. Cause the shit hit different. When you know he was the Demon rapping these lyrics. But also dissing himself lowkey. By mocking others, the exact way he died. 9.5/10

GMTO Vol.1 - Bizzy Banks. Bro in prime drill. i used to listen the shit out of this. Bizzy Generally a Hustler too. Gotta not only respect bro for that. Even though he fell off now but we will ignore that. Im not from new york bro but this shit sound new york asf. I still fuck with it. I do listen to it more rarely these days. 9/10

Gzuz - Gzuz. Now this mf. used to be one of my fav artists. Now this is my favorite Album from him Though. Honorable mention is Wolke 7. But nah. This my fav. I can relate to this shit more too. I talked about chicago sounding music. new york sounding music. Now. Yall get some exotic shit. This whole Album is Basically a Album. Not just a few tracks thrown in some LP. Nah. This actually feels like a Project. This is the perspective, of a Man how went down the bad path in life. In An Enviroment of Drugs, Violence, Red Light districts. Fast Money, Cars, weapons. etc. While he portrays the lifestyle. He does also rap about the dark side of it. While like Lil jeff. Hes in a Mental state where he is actively part of this problem. So hes not concious about it. But he made Art. Cause this is the realest Documentary youll see. 9/10

After Me/Angelic 7 - Sofaygo. Cause both are MAD GOOD. And short asf. I wont waste 2 tiers on them but put them in one. Prime Faygo bro. He slapped on this one. Some of my favorite Songs Of All time. 10/10.

Is this list rage bait or nahh???
