[RANT] ‘I F*cking Hate Rappers’

Posted by Juan

Why am I the last Hip Hop fan on earth that’s never spit a verse? (inspired by Pack FM)

IFHR Shirt

Citizens of the Highbrid Nation, the fam and my people often ask me why it seems I hate on virtually every record that hits the radio.  Its simple…I f*cking HATE rappers.  Its ironic that I, as a child of the Golden Age of Hip Hop and a huge advocate of the culture, would be her music’s worst critic.

But as the last Hip Hop fan on earth that’s never spit a verse, I feel I’ve built up enough equity to sh*t on the music, the wack ass fashion and these silly ass rappers when I feel like it. The difference between me and rappers though is I give a F*ck.  Rappers now a days just throw some sh*t on the wall real quick and hope it sticks like your chemistry homework assignment you copied from your lab partner 4 minutes before class.  WHERE’S THE EFFORT?  THE PASSION? THE RESPECT?

Gone are the days when emcees took their PROFESSION seriously enough that they not only worked it 9 to 5 but around the clock aiming to be on top.  Now rap is a part-time gig and on its best days, a distraction from a burgeoning D-list movie career or a poorly conceived clothing line.  How disrespectful is that?!

Rappers expect us to “support” them as they ascend to the top buying all kinds of garbage ass underground mixtapes to the tune of 10 a week.  And what do we I get in return?  Piss poor major record label albums littered with guests rappers on 17 of the 20 tracks INCLUDING 2 of the 3 skits.  Then the music industry has the nerve to tell me I can’t download music? F*ck you!

While I’ve written off rappers a long time ago, disillusioned emcee, Pack FM has launched a campaign to combat the trend.  Frustrated with the state of our beloved music, he is encouraging HipHop lovers worldwide to take a stand and let these “rappers” know that I (and the other 2 rap fans out there who don’t rhyme) demand and deserve more.

His campaign (and signature record) “I F*cking Hate Rappers” is not just your typical bash against the “wack mc”, it’s what he refers to as a “call to action for people to raise their standards and show respect for the art form, in an age where ‘rapping’ is the last thing rappers are known for.”

So far he’s recruited the likes of Masta Ace, Iron Solomon, DMC, B Real, Sadat X (formerly Derek X of the greatest group of all-time Brand Nubian) , Skyzoo, and Poison Pen to join in his crusade.  To drum up support, Pack FM is encouraging supporters to speak out via YouTube for a chance to win a FREE “I F*cking Hate Rappers” T-shirt before they go on sale.

I’m surprised I didn’t hear anything about publicity stunts [your WWE style beefs, if you will] to generate sales. Or sound scans being over rated. But really I could give a fuck less about these rappers. I try to be more in tune with the Emcee’s out there. I’m all for bringing back balance in Hip Hop.

I could go on and on CEE Jae…just trying to keep it to 500 words or less. Slave chain jewelry, mean mugging on the album cover, retiring rapper trends, break ups to make ups style beef, Obama/ black president tribute tracks…its all a circus.

I f*cking hate rappers too…

I hate rappers that get on a track and spit a rhyme that is wack and loser listeners think it’s the hottest shit in the world because it’s better than the other sh*tty song they heard last week. I hate rappers that use auto-tunes, I hate rappers that sing, I hate rappers who use terms like bettlejuice, bettlejuice, beetlejuice when it has nothing to do with the song…you know what, I hate Lil Wayne, I hate it when people say I’m old when I say rap sucks now….and most importantly I hate rappers that get in the game calling it a “hustle” to get out of the hood. It is only a hustle if you are good at it and you are killing me with your innate wackness.

Whew! that felt great, end of rant*

Shoot wayne look like Splintah from teenage muntant ninja turtles to me!

I agree hip hop sucks right now. i am on my R&B grind.

Its all about a beat and a hook, no lyrical content.

I miss the days of a hot beat and hot lyrics. Songs that make sense have gone out the window!
Soulja boy”Knick knack patty whack give a dog a bone” like really are you serious. Im about to book some studio time get an auto tune and say “Old McDonald had a farm, Im about to cop a box of lucky charms” THATS HOT RIGHT LOL

And remember its not limited to the lyrics, its this whole “swag” movement, the biting, the beefs, the whole 9.

I miss the Slick Rick days and Redman days! There used to be a mixture of styles. You had Eric B who would rhyme about his confidence in his skills, You had Slick Rick telling vivid stories, you had party joints from Big Daddy Kane, Special Ed, female uprising McLyte, Queen Latifah, Salt n Peppa ahhh the good ole days that these youngstas won’t ever understand nor I think we will ever get back to. BASICALLY ISHHHH SUCKS RIGHT NOW !!

i feel you on everything you said man. But i gotta disagree with that shirt. I’m a rapper, but i keep it real and could care less if i get paid long as the message gets out that this new school bull isnt really music. So go ahead and categorize me with the other fags who think they can rap. But i know what im about, and that doesnt include some dumbass 2 month popular club song.

If the shirt offends you, that’s who its talking about. If you don’t fit the mold, don’t worry about it.
