His verbose, tryhard technique is a tired formula he employs without flow, direction, or meaning. His new album, No Shame , is a bitter, petulant response to recent setbacks and mistakes: the collapse of his Funk Volume label, the souring of personal and professional relationships, and losing custody of his son after pleading guilty to assault.
But he refuses to back down. When given the chance to explain himself, he doubles down on the worst aspects of an irritating persona. No Shame is a misfired revenge stunt. To a critic, Macklemore and Chance are cashing in on a family-friendly image not many rappers can successfully pull off. Some artists are deemed corny for appearing hollow and negative, others for appearing hollow and positive.
This is the kind of criticism rappers such as J. Cole, Drake, and Big Sean face given their huge mainstream success. The unfortunate part about the corniness debate is that it only involves the most successful rappers. This is mainly because their personas and messages are not as ambitious or deviant. Artists of the sort i. This allows them to duck serious criticism of their authenticity more easily.
But under the same microscopes that we place big-name artists such as Drake, Logic, J. With so many of our favorite rappers being viewed as corny one way or another, which artists can we view as models of non-corniness? As a rapper who tackles major sociocultural issues, Kendrick has very little room for error. The skill level of rappers such as Noname, Tierra Whack, Rico Nasty, Megan Thee Stallion, and Rapsody lay a foundation of respect for their boundary-pushing content and styles to challenge what top male artists have been offering the past several years.
With a variety of unique sounds and new, confident takes on topics like sexuality, identity, and the come-up, this wave of heavy-hitting women sets a new standard in originality. As there are levels to artistic influence, there are levels to corniness. Getting to Know Ms. From hardship to home. Girls cross country dashes toward finish line.

When September hits. Struggles of a reader. Feed me. Anime Club issue 1: Snow Day. Honestly, I can agree with you on most of these points.
Personally, I do just really like his music; I recognise that some of his topics are very surface level matter in terms of the way he discusses it.
I think he can speak deeply on subjects, and when he said the whole thing about strict parents, I think he was alluding to other things and not directly saying that strict parenting prevents drug addiction and alcoholism. Lyrically, I still think he has a lot of integrity and ability. I agree with you on his beat selection, but I'm surprised you consider that one of his best aspects. His voice altogether works well, it's just when he sings.
Hopsin is a great rapper and is so much more lyrically talented than most rappers around these days. Personally I think people over exaggerate how corny he is, though he can still be pretty corny especially back in the day but the only corny Hop song I like is "Hop is Back.
But if he were to be serious more he could be contender for one of greatest of all time at least personally because the flow is their, the delivery has developed greatly since Ill Mind 3 to now, and lyrics are usually great too. His past kinda ruined his reputation but still.
