i don't mind dad/internet/nerd rap, i just think the people who only listen to it are annoying as hell.

i hate playing the racism card with anything but it just seems beyond racist for white kids to say s*** like BLACK PEOPLE CAN ONLY RAP ABOUT HAVING A BAD LIFE OR ELSE IT ISN'T REAL MUSIC

oh yeah Drake, I think someone on here recommended me his album from like 2 years ago. it's pretty good. I liked the song in the OP. although I have no idea what internet/dad rap is.

they are two different things but have significant overlap. neither are inherently bad but their fanbases are awful
dad rap - 2pac, biggie, nas, etc...the mainstream big name rappers that were popular when we were wee little kids. think like the led zeppelins and pink floyds of rap, super awesome artists that kids these days will often exclusively listen to just to show how good their taste is and how anyone who likes contemporary rap is ignorant
internet rap - "indie" rap. internet obsessed white kids hate songs that involve rappers getting $$$/slamming chicks/having nice watches and think that rap should only be about intellectual thought regarding the struggle of african americans. they think they are mature and philosophical but they are actually just being racist by telling black people that they can only rap about that. internet rap artists include some good ones like tribe called quest, kweli, etc, but what separates it from dad rap is that its also got some pure s*** rappers who could not headline a bingo hall like jedi mind tricks or aesop rock. ask any internet rap fan and they will literally tell you that they are the best rappers ever

what do you think about POS? based on your definition it sounds like you'd call him internet rap but he's actually pretty great and probably my favorite rapper
i like him, but hes def internet rap. again though, internet rap doesn't mean that the artist is bad, just that it increases the likelihood that the person who likes him is a doucher

at the risk of being hounded from the thread, the new el-p (pretty much the king of internet rap) is fantastic and you guys should totally check it out
also 2chainz insane recent buzz utterly bewilders me, but whatever
i definitely think hes got more personality and charisma than both of those, and dude definitely has more of the "it" factor than either of them. i'd give him the edge on lyrics too amongst other things.

I'd give 2 Chainz the edge on lyrics versus Waka Flocka but in most regards I'd put either one of them above Tity Boi. 2 Chainz to me is closer to OJ or Wooh da Kid in talent.
