LOL hard ass words no one gets…listen to those songs with a dictionary and a thesaurus.

Look we all know that Waka's music is popular. That doesn't mean that its at all good. Waka, and artists like him, are able to reach a lot of people because his music is easy to understand. There has always been and will forever be more stupid people in the world than those of us with IQs above 120. This is why a rapper that actually takes time to think about his lyrics can take any subject matter and find more clever ways to deliver his message. Take Lupe for example. He did a song called Conflict Diamonds, improving on Kanye's – Diamonds from Sierra Leone. Most people don't even know where Sierra Leone is. In the immortal words of Waka Flocka, “Education good. Education real good. I ain't gone lie I got my GED. I want to go back to school and major in Geometry”… Tell me why I should follow anything that idiot has to say.

PS. @fucktyler I'm not being an elitist simply because I wont follow the crowd. Maybe you could understand that if you didn't have that extra chromosome weighing you down.

Hey, I am all for new ideas and fresh faces in hip hop, but stupidity, no matter what era it comes from, shouldn't be tolerated. Today, popularity doesn't mean progress and record sales aren't equivalent to skill. Remember the “Swag Movement”? That was very popular and I can recall a certain blog on this site that said was entitled “Trends that need to die”.

Question: If I were to get a nice beat, and hum the tune to whistle while you work on the track, would you defend me too? If I were to somehow gain popularity would you call my work hip hop? My point is that we can have our J. Cole's of the game(artist that car enough to master their craft and takes time to think about their lyrics) without the “Love dem gun sounds”, “Burr”, and my personal favorite “Ay Ay Ay Ok”.

Good argument.
