Self explanatory

I've been kinda bored so gimme a good UG artist I might not know about, don't give me the obvious artists like Che or Slayr. I am not looking for lyrical rap rn(despite it being my preference).

Pretentious:

1. Acting smarter then they actually are

2. Pretending like they are on a higher level

3. Extravagance.

When people use "BIG" words, it's not being pretentious. When people use actual English writing skills, it's not being pretentious. When people criticize your favorite rapper/producer, it's not being pretentious. When people say blatantly state that "your taste is wrong" or "I'm smarter then you", that's being pretentious.

On top of that, y'all be hating. People are allowed to like Mike Shinoda or Polo G or J Cole or NBA Youngboy or NF or whomever, I might not agree but you should be allowed to have your own opinion. Yet most of the people on this sub just want to disrespect others and leave memes and shit behind, ignoring the love someone might have for a topic. That's disrespect not just to the person, but to hip-hop as a whole. I mean hate. I don't really tell the difference between a meme or an essay, if there's no substance or any real criticism at all then it's hate. I fell victim recently; I responded irrationally to someone and it clearly upset them. No matter how rude that person was in response, I ignored my own morals and sidestepped. That shit might be funny to you, but like... it can actually hurt people. Like someone just wanting to see if anybody agreed with them about LUCKI a few weeks/months back or anyone trying to share and find others to conform and share with, your hate probably leaves an impact.

Fuck Hate.

literally ask away for two hours. no asking dumb questions(address, full legal name, etc), or asking for any photos

UGet down sloppy(Che, lil o, zen, Slayr, etc) vs ”Pretentious Rap” Dihriders(J Cole, Tyler, Kendrick, Kanye)

deadass its mad annoying anyway neither side can see the artistic merit in either side and can’t admit they just don’t like it personally(except J Cole, J Cole sucks)
