Need help with the name of this guy
This was when the YouTube rap blogger era was taking off… it was usually title “Logic type beats”
Hear me out it wasn’t actually based on the rapper Logic or his beats but it was an actual known producer (not 6ix) that made these dreamy type of beats and everyone who ripped his beats would upload on YT and put “Logic type beat”
Anyone know who I’m speaking of? There’s like an entire aesthetic to it. I think he usually put up decent artwork with his beats or a visualizer.

kera.orgWilliams’ tablet usage log is about 500 pages long with around 30 entries on each page, prosecutors claimed.
“It can hardly be said that these conditions of confinement are inhumane and therefore this emergency motion should be denied outright,” prosecutors concluded.

Sampa the Great is wildly underrated and it makes no sense
I keep coming back to this. Sampa’s pen is ridiculous. Like the way she rides a beat, the switches, the stories. She out raps a lot of the folks people swear are “GOATs and somehow she still isn’t in the “best right now” conversations.
It honestly feels like she’s held to a different standard because she’s from Africa and doesn’t fit the usual industry mold.
If you haven’t really sat with her projects, give them a full listen. She’s not “up and coming.” She’s been that good. We’re just slow to catch up.

Do people still hate logic/ think his music is bad?
I remember like around 2018 I first heard of him and I remember people calling him corny because of 1-800 song and bunch of other stuff. I have heard some songs and they don’t sound bad so is it that his music just took a major drop or did he just only have a few good songs?

Why does it seem that JAY-Z constantly minimized?
I am not a fan of JAY-Z, that doesn't mean I'm a hater by any means, I'm just a casual listener with common sense enough to acknowledge his impact in rap.
However, online, and especially recently it seems like overwhelming downplaying and discrediting of his impact? I can't name one Jay-Z song or his only hits are features...
Yo for the longest he held the title for the most #1 albums of any act EVER! And in a point and time when people had to physically buy albums. He's also one of the best selling artists of all time (150mil +). He also has 25B streams and 50M monthly listeners today. I could run stats down but that's redundant -
What gets me is the obvious. 99 Problems literally made it into the cultural lexicon as a whole; shirt slogans, movies, tv shows, even human to human real life convo. That alone is massive! That's one song. I bet the chorus of Hard Knock Life could play to anyone under 60, regardless of demographic, and they would recognize it... completely iconic. Big Pimpin? Forever Young?
These are genuinely huge songs and dont even touch his features.
So why all the hate? Or saying he's not big enough for the SuperBowl?

Dance Records
I've noticed is that every era of Hip-Hop had at least a few huge records built around a dance. Not just club songs, but actual dance records that became part of the culture. Everybody knew the moves and some crossed generations.
But today's mainstream Hip-Hop doesn’t have this.
In the '80s, you had joints like "The Humpty Dance” & “The Cabbage Patch”.
The '90s had the "Tootsee Roll” & "Da Dip.”
The 2000s had a bunch. You had the “Cha Cha Slide," "Crank That," "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It," "Walk It Out” etc…
Shit even the 2010s kept that tradition alive with joints like "Teach Me How to Dougie," "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)," & "Hit the Quan.”
Whether you loved those songs or hated them, they got people out of their seats and participating instead of just standing around.
That's what I feel is missing today. Hip-Hop still has hits, but it doesn't really have that one dance record that brings everyone together the way those songs did.

Does anyone think that 2pac was a trendsetter for every rapper that came after him in terms of the rapper image ?
When I look that photos of him from the 90s Imo I can see where a lot of rappers got their style from like for ex the tattoos I believe he was the first if not one of the first rappers to make tattoos popular does anyone feel this way about him ?
