My least favorite part of Hip-Hop
I am always interested in new, upcoming artists and I always love to see what they have to offer. What kind of flow they have, the beats they use, etc. There are plenty of young artists I enjoy. Denzel Curry, Anderson .Paak, an occasional Lil Uzi, Big K.R.I.T, etc. But there is one artist who is making a splash in the rap game that confuses me. He goes by the name of Lil Yachty. Lil Yachty is an interesting, unique character. He was made in southern Georgia and is currently only 19 years old. He also is known as 'Lil Boat' or just 'Boat'.
His style of music is very very unique. He isn't very lyrically gifted at all, he has even admitted it. He was quoted saying "not every song has to be crazy, if the beat is hard, people will listen to it." He also was quoted saying, "I don't honestly" after being asked if he takes Hip-Hop seriously. So he's just having fun with it, I respect that. I do have to admit, although I'm not a fan of his music, his beats definitely slap, and his melodies are very catchy.
Earlier in the quote from before, he also quoted saying he doesn't consider himself a rapper. The quote continues, "I dunno. I would say artist." After being asked what he was.
So you might be asking, why do you dislike his music so much? There's a few reasons. One reason is the lack of meaning in his songs. There's just no message or meaning that an artist like Kendrick or Cole have in their songs, making their songs equivalent to a drug to me. Another reason I don't listen to him is how wack it sounds. I mean, honestly, it just sounds awful. I can understand if people listen to him while partying or whatever, but listening to him daily? No way. Believe me, I've given him a shot, I've listened to both his mixtapes in complete, and it's just not my thing.
But maybe I'm just being too serious too enjoy his music. But as far as I know, it's complete garbage. I have nothing against him or his fans, it's all just my opinion. And if you're shocked that I said this about him, you should know by know, this blog is very biased. I respect what he's doing and his success, I'll just stick to the good stuff.
