What makes a dope record???
My friends and I argue constantly about who's hot and who's wack. I personally am a fan of the undergrounds' underground. Right now I listen to a lot of Lupe, Blu, Jay Electronica, J.Cole, and K'naan. I'm a fan lyricists. So the other artists that I may pay attention to all tend to be lyricists. As much as people hate..Drake can flat out rap. Lyrically he's better than a lot of people. Fab is another one..not so much lately, but Fab is a lyricist. Period! I respect lyricists.
But does that make a good song? I finally got around to listening to Kid Cudi...and he is not a lyricist...AT ALL....at least not in my book...But he puts so much emotion behind his music..you can't ignore it. his album strait through it very dope. So is it "emotion" that makes a record dope?? Some of the best albums were driven off of pure emotions regarding content
Gnarls Barkley- St Elsewhere and Kanye-808 and Heartbreak stick out in my mind at the moment.
