That connection keeps bringing hip-hop Minaj back, even when it looks like her alter-ego Roman Zolanski has gone for good. She's connected with everybody in the streets." It's hard to find that somebody who has that niche, that star power. As Atlanta's DJ Holiday told MTV in 2009, "She's gonna have a good, successful career. Pound Town by Sexyy Red & Tay Keith The Real Slim Shady by Eminem They Don't Love It by Jack Harlow Double Fantasy by The Weeknd First Girlfriend by Tydus Blame On Me by Jack Harlow Ballin' by. Minaj released a handful of solid hip-hop mixtapes early in her career, but with her 2010 debut album, Pink Friday, and the 2012 release of " Starships," the Top 40 edged Minaj out of the hip-hop spotlight.īut it's important to remember just how talented she is as a rapper, and not to box her in as a pop star. When she signed to Young Money Entertainment in 2009, she lent her rhymes to verses by other rappers like Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane and held her own. It all comes down to personal preference.Nicki Minaj is one of the best rappers in the mainstream, but she's still thought of as more of a pop star than anything else. Other times, mumble rap just would not be your cup of tea. In my personal opinion, here’s a time and place for everything, and in some instances lyrical music would not apply in places such as the club. So all these new age mumble rappers might be borrowing from their hip-hop forefathers whether they realize it or not. Real hip-hop heads will tell you that the rhymes of Fuschnickens and Das Efx used boom bap instrumentals they used in songs such as “True Fushnick” are similar to the catchy trap beats of today. Some people claim that mumble rap has its earliest origins traced back to the 90s. You can dance to it, sing it, or just sit there. For mumble rap, you don’t have to be in a zone. Mozzy might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of lyrical, but it should. It can get you to feel mad, happy, depressed. Indeed Drake can rap and yes, there are other good rappers like SchoolBoy Q, Kendrick Lamar, and J Cole in this era but compared to back then, the competition was much stiffer. When it comes to music, one of the best feelings in the world is when you inspire someone, and lyrics are one of the most effective tools you have as a rapper. Also, there were more great rappers during Tupac and Biggie’s time and it’s easy to look good as a rapper in a sea of bad rappers. However, the substance in the music of the last two is undoubtedly greater. When I listened back to it the next day, I was like man, what the expletive is this? But I loved it.” In another Interview with VLAD TV, Lord Jamar quoted another mumble rapper Lil Yatchy and said he could replace the words on his song to “ABCDEFG…….HIJK…LMNOP….QRS.….UV……WXY….and Z.” Some would even call It melodic and claim that melodic music will win over lyrical music any time of the day.Īn argument has been made that Drake may be better than Tupac and Biggie because he has more hit records than both of them put together.
But it always comes back to a particular song by Future in 2011, “Tony Montana.” In an interview with Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg, the rapper recalls the night he made the track…”I was so expletive high on this song, I couldn’t even open my mouth. There are various theories of who is responsible for mumble rap, from Gucci Mane to Lil Wayne. Others explain that this is just a result of the hip-hop Ferris wheel and rappers trying to stay on the wheel. Mumble rap is undoubtedly the ultimate punch in the guts to hip hop purists. Many ask if rappers like Future, Desiigner and Lil Uzi Vert are mumbling or they just lack the lyrical prowess of rappers like Kendrick Lamar or J Cole.
It’s the age old debate-lyrical rappers versus mumble rappers.
