Rap Needs A Nirvana-like Rapper Imo

[sumidiotdude]

And by Nirvana, I mean somebody that will just shake up the mainstream scene right now. Like when Nirvana came out, everyone in the industry stopped what they were doing and focused their attention to Nirvana. I have nothing against artists like Drake, Lil' Wayne, Nicki, Wiz, etc. because they can continue doing their thing even if I don't really fancy their style or music, but I feel that mainstream hip hop can do much better.

Kanye probably has come closer than anyone else because he has the image and persona that could shake up all of music and he's certainly talented but he's missing the flair Nirvana has. I really like what J. Cole is doing but he had some bad management and is far from reaching that mainstream level. I think within 5 years there's going to be a rapper that will be the total package: internet savvy, lyrical genius, and has mainstream appeal. We have to wait a while for one though because at the moment popular rap/hip-hop is all about image and not music, and at the moment it doesn't look like it's changing.

Because you don't need no rap, you need dubstep man.

Frankly, I have a lot against those rappers. They're terrible and make my ears bleed.

[Malt-Shake]

Kanye is okay i guess, I do like his music a lot... and I think people would like him more if HE HIMSELF weren't a retarded asshole. Seriously!

RAP doesn't need another coming of Nirvana. Music in general needs something to tell all the awful pop music to fuck off.

Just don't listen to American rap/hiphop, British grime is alot better.

I still don't know what the hell Dubstep is..but it sounds gay as hell...
And Rap's Nirvana goes by the name of Treeths he's underground, but he's gonna make it, and everyone's gonna realize how good he really is and how trashy other rappers today are...

There's enough rap clogging up the main stream as it is, we don't need somebody making it more popular, thus forcing more stolen content than ever before onto youtube.

[TehSlapHappy]

But I'm not a rapper.

[BrainworkInProgress]

Rap aint no music, its mumbo jumbo bullshit :3

[Asandir]

You are probably right, but I don't know any artist that could take this role.

Which is too bad since R&B died and became urban hip-hop.
And too many rappers work closely with, and team up with so called "R&B artists".

Then we can tell all heavy metal and rock to fuck off?

[Catalepsy]

Yep, we need more angsty whiny musicians that will be vindicated by history because of their suicide.

[dtwin]

We don't need any more rappers, we need the damn industry to die.

Well, there's this guy, Tech N9ne, he's been hating the industry ever since he started rapping. He's nothing like the mainstream rappers. He says he will never go mainstream, mainstream is gonna get to him. And well he's a lyrical genius, he's getting more known and shit. You guys could check him out, if mainstream actually gets to him, he will definitely change the industry.
