I am delighted by the Jack Harlow slander on my yt feed the past 24 hours
@The_T a mediocre white rapper who briefly became a phenomenon a few years ago
@The_T it's something that happens every few years. Vanilla Ice, Iggy Azalea, Lil Dicky, Jack Harlow, and many more. Back when rap was a significant cultural force the masses were eager for white people who could rap
@wallhackio you forgot Eminem somehow
@The_T all the artists mentioned I have little respect for for one reason or another and while I find much of Eminem's music deeply off-putting and offensive, his talent and influence on many of today's great rappers is undeniable, and he was genuinely anti-establishment during the bush era (he had his home raided by the FBI!!!) making him a complex figure. I begrudgingly respect Eminem so I very intentionally did not put him on that list
@wallhackio ok, name some good rappers
because the only rappers I know live in Japan
@The_T lol this has "oh so you like rap? then name every rapper" energy. but I'll bite

Little Simz
Denzel Curry
Rico Nasty
Noname
JID
Kendrick Lamar
