For real, makes me almost wish I didn't love hip-hop so when I say I'm a fan people don't assume I mean cartoon characters like Keef, this dude, Wayne, Khalifa and those. I mean, shit, only a few months after Lamar seemingly woke people up to real hip-hop in the mainstream we're RIGHT back to bullshit.

Sad isn't it? True artists take time to work on their craft and put out good music and can't keep up with the BS that gets made in one night by BS artists

No need to hate on Trinidad James or put him in the same camp as Chief Keef. He's just a party rapper, and there's always been room for that in the game.

Him getting money isn't stopping other dudes from getting money.

It's not really HIS fault but the issue is Party Rap largely drags the entire genre down. It's such an overgeneralized genre by a lot of people, that you can't tell people you listen to hip-hop like, let's say Action Bronson and not have people associate that with guys like Trinadad. Other genres don't have the same issues, people don't like Adele sucks because Katy Perry makes shitty music. With hip-hop, we don't get that luxury. It's not fair, but man I'm sick of having to defend my genre of music.

Rap his many sub genres, just many people fail to see that and lump every rapper together.

This is very bad news. I watched this video 3 days ago for the 1st time because I was roaming YouTube. I was astonished how bad it was, I mean, pathetic. There is not one redeeming quality he has as a "rapper". But this is what its become, and why I rarely listen to rap anymore.

There is no difference between mainstream rap, party rap, and pop rap anymore. I'm of the belief that Kanye singlehandedly influenced the shift from gangsta rap to whatever you wanna call mainstream rap nowadays, but if you think about it, would you rather bring gangsta rap back into the limelight over this shit?

Hot97 was playing Calvin Harris' "Let's Go" yesterday. The game has changed.
