Some of you really show your age when you say this type of stuff doesn't matter...
I’d rather have wins and a title than a bandwagon concert at the beginning of the year and flame out in March, but that’s just me.
Personally I love this idea Ever scene Zion chose Duke it became the "cool" school. Right now there isn't a player out there who can do that for us. Its a new age for college sports.
Lil Wayne did have one of the best 25 years. And I do still think he'd be a draw.. but, he hasn't made much music the last 5 years, and his PEAK was really back during Cals first few years, probably 2011ish.
Don't be surprised if these 18 year olds don't have Lil Wayne in their top played artists..

i agree
i hate most rap, but then again i also hate most country music
whatever music it takes to help land recruits i am m in for
Forever is one of my favorite collabs. Need Em there too, though. His verse brought it home.
Get Ted Nugent.
Yikes. Talk about a way to say I’m an old white dude without saying I’m an old white dude lol. Don’t think Cal cares about your alls immense hatred for rap or is recruiting you all so that’s good for the program. This is no doubt good for the program and y’all need to stop being geriatric haters
Big fan of hip hop, but don’t really care about any of those three guys. But you’re crazy if you don’t think that would bring some hype to UK. You want to be the cool school again? This is how you get it rolling again.
Lol ok I’ve had enough of the posters shitting on rap like it’s below whatever genre they listen to. Rappers have more extensive vocabulary, more complex rhyme schemes, and more influence on culture than any other genre. You don’t have to like it, but I won’t let you get away with talking like it’s a lower art form.
I’m not a huge rap fan but I am a musician and you’re spot on. Anyone saying rap artists aren’t musicians don’t know **** about performing/creating music on any level IMO.
Personal taste is one thing and everyone has their own but saying rap isn’t valid is dumb. Hell nothing touches Beethoven on a “musicality” level, doesn’t mean all music past the 1800’s sucks.
I can enjoy most of the sub-genres of rap (even at the age of 49).
I'm also warming up to the newer splashes of hip hop in country.
It's the gangsta rap (not the older 90s Snoop and Dre and Q-tip styles, but the newer murderous garbage full of "b*tch" and "N****" this, that, and the "F**K all ya'll" stupidity) and rap with poor grammar and stupid lyrics I simply can't stomach.
wow, then Nicki is better than Tupac! guys, its about the influence as well. not just the albums sold. Y'all need to really look into Lil Wayne. genius.
Anyone who thinks Cal’s not successful is an idiot. If the shoe fits, well, you know the rest of it.
My issues with rap these days are it's dudes in skinny jeans that sound castrated and voices run through Mumbler 3000 robotic voice machine. But my biggest issue is substance. I don't hear anything in the lyrics. Maybe I'm just old, but I don't hear the substance and poetry that Pac and Biggie had. Maybe these new guys do too, but I never hear it on the stuff I hear on the radio. I'm just not big into 'b*tches and whips' crap. Or 5'4" 135lbs dudes talking about being hard.
I agree. I don't care for rap myself, but if the players like it and it gets recruits, then go for it. The isn't about what I like, its about Wildcat basketball and getting the best possible players for our team.
GO CATS!!!
How about running and crying to mods some more?
I don’t listen to the radio so idk what you’re talking about. And the mumble rap thing is a myth propagated by people who don’t understand accents because they’ve never traveled further than two counties over from where they live.
To be fair Eminem on a feature back then and now will almost guarantee a number one hit. Even the songs with Wayne on them Em is the feature.
, Drake had some fire mixtapes before he was super big too.Then, yes. Now, no. I don’t really listen to any new Eminem but the last feature I remember was one pretty recently with Kid Cudi. Eminem’s verse was asscheeks and was not well received in the mainstream.
His new stuff is fire, Music to be murdered by is one of his best albums IMO. I’ve heard a lot of his features the past 3-4 years that have been well received by reviewers on YouTube that I follow at least.
Not a fan of the new stuff, 50 year olds rapping is kinda lame. And I’m sure most can tell I’m a big Wayne fan, but now that he’s 40 I’m not really going to be checking for his new stuff. Young up and coming rappers are the ones who really come with the heat.
As for Eminem’s old stuff, I feel the same way how I feel about South Park. Like I still enjoy Em’s old music when I listen to it and South Park would still make me laugh, but that content just doesn’t hit the same as when I was in Middle school when it was part of the counter culture that would shock your parents.
This guy said "Kanye (Ye)" like if people didn't know him by Kanye they definitely would know his as Ye.
I don't know, man. The Way I Am and White America still hit.
I think Em has gotten better with time, flow and rhymes, speed and writing. I don’t know who’s good anymore, most every new rapper I’ve heard is mumble junk.
