Imagine if Em had comeback with a concept like 'Syllables'

How is what I said remotely wrong? Does Asher Roth have an album where he talks about his run with the Bloods that I don't know about?

WTF are you talking about. I pointed out popular rappers who don't project a gangster image and said I can listen to one Waka song and hate the rest of his catalog. You have a problem with that?

There will always be gangsta rappers, but nearly all of the most popular rappers out are from the suburbs and don't drop gangsta albums. That wouldn't have happened 10 years ago. I don't see how this is a hard concept to grasp...

The only popular rappers out who don't drop gangsta shit are Cudi, Kanye & B.o.B. Em & Jay are on their own legend shit and that's pretty much it. I like that gangsta shit if it's done right (Snoop, T.I. ,Ice Cube) but a lot of these "gangsta" rappers aren't even from the hood and never lived that bullshit they rap about plus they're horrible as it is. "I go harder then the muhh fuckin paint nikkuh" the fuck is that shit, does he go harder then the muhh fuckin drywall too?

Lupe doesn't.
Drake doesn't.
J Cole doesn't.
Asher Roth doesn't.
Nicki Minaj doesn't.
Wiz Khalifa did on his old stuff, not now.
Yelawolf doesn't.

Waka sucks, but in his defense, it's "I go hard in the muthafuckin paint." It's a basketball term...basically means he'll body you and he hustles/works hard. I hate Waka but that's the one song of his I like, even though it's incoherent.

Nicki & Wiz do, Drake is another one who doesn't i'll give him that.
Yelawolf isn't mainstream yet.
Lupe, J Cole & Asher Roth are only semi mainstream, most people don't even know who they are.

I like Syllables and i think it's actually ashame they didn't put it out on a mixtape at least/And the concept of Syllables could have been great for a comeback,could work for Dre too IMO

[Sebizzle]

yeah its a great concept

Nah Nicki doesn't for sure, at least on her current stuff, she mighta when she first started. Wiz doesn't either, he's all about smoking and chilling, nothing really "gangsta".

And IDK about you, but where I'm from (DC) everyone knows Lupe and Asher, even non rap fans. And J Cole will be mainstream once his album drops this year, so he'll count soon.

[Master Chief]

Asher Roth is fucking terrible though.

Lupe's dope
