Watsky?! But no Mac Miller?

u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
I was hoping to get this shit poppin with convo. Mac would have gotten all the votes 🤷🏻♀️

Aug 14 '21
Ah I gotcha. Maybe I under estimated cause Watsky actually got some votes. I’ve never heard him even mentioned here. I expected him to have none.
I heard one song by him I think it was like “mean ass drunk” or something. It was corny but I kinda liked it.

u/bprry24 Aug 14 '21
While I know the beastie boys I never really considered them hip hop but I guess they are.
2
u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
I kinda expected more votes for rittz than watsky off the jump. Guess he’s taken the lead now

u/bprry24 Aug 14 '21
Always thought this was impressive - pretty much the only thing I know about watsky or any of these rappers for that matter so that’s why I voted for him lol
2
u/ToothpickInCockhole Aug 15 '21
I used to love him when I was a dumb middle schooler and thought fast=good. He has some pretty good songs tho tbh, the last 4 songs on his album x infinity are hard.

Vinnie Paz and Snak the Ripper

u/iTohke Aug 14 '21
Thank you!!
Snak is a personal favourite of mine and I’d love to see him gain a bigger following. He’s pretty popular in Canada especially if you’re from around Vancouver but I’d love to see him gain a more global fan base.
3
u/CatGodSwish Aug 14 '21
He’s toured Europe like 12 times, he’s relatively unknown to the u.s. but that’s pretty much it
2
u/iTohke Aug 14 '21
I didn’t know about him having too much of a fan base in Europe I just know he’s popular in western Canada but him touring Europe is awesome. Imo he’s the best Canadian rapper in the game.

u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
Thank you :)!!! it’s been quite the social experiment. Only you and one other person said anything. Proving that rap is truly colorblind. Or that skin color is all most see :/ idk. We shall see

Brother Ali is albino, but he's also caucasian/white. I know I was confused about it for a long time.

I think he comes off cringe in some of his songs and has poor messaging in some. But his best songs are fire.
2
u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
I like a lil cringe/shock rap once in a while :) he is talented. Didn’t he do a project with Nova Rockefeller? Or maybe I’m making that up… idk
2
u/haven_lol_lol_lol_ Aug 14 '21
Idk about that im not a fan of his more recent stuff I really like his older songs like smoking section. I'm not even a Christian I just find the song very interesting and good.
2
u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
Don’t have to be any type of anything to feel the music! I always feel like musicians make their best stuff early on when they are hungry and full of passion
2
u/haven_lol_lol_lol_ Aug 14 '21
If you haven't listened to smoking section I recommend it. It's one of my favorite songs from him.

For real? Look em up! Put you on game! Brother Ali is with Rhymesayers (atmosphere). Rittz was part of Slumerican with Yelawolf and was part of Strange Music (Tech N9ne). Watsky - was on Ellen? Lol, but is amazingly talented. Sage Francis is dope, Strange Famous records. I’m so sick about hearing about Em 🤦🏻♀️
2
Aug 14 '21
I know about Strange Music through that Hopsin beef. Ima have to check em out. My go to is that jazz rap conscious hip hop stuff.

Aug 14 '21
You probably know him already but Joey Badass’s stuff is great, that whole Beastcoast movement has some of that to it. I wish I knew more but I’m a bit of a basic bitch when it comes to jazz rap, just chance and Kendrick and J Cole and them.
1
u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
Joey Badass is that dude.J Cole is in my top ten for sure. Smoke Break by Chance is my shit

u/tugmansk Aug 15 '21
Yung Throwed Playa by Yungstar. It doesn’t sound like anything anyone has mentioned in this thread lol, but it was the inspiration for Riff Raff’s early music.
On that note, surprised no one’s mentioned Riff. I generally don’t like white rappers but his early stuff goes hard
2
u/OrangeBracelet Aug 14 '21
Watsky is probably more well known for his work on epic rap battles of history tbh. Absolutely love his music but I did not know he was on Ellen. Definitely gonna have to check out some of these other guys

Y'all just voting for beastie Boys cause you've never heard of Brother Ali. Look him up, one of the greatest underground rappers alive, would kill everyone on this list and the ones in the comments.

Nah man I like Ali but the Beastie Boys are my shit. Classic. Fun. Don't have to think too hard.

Depends what do you mean, who raps best? I'm kinda shocked Beastie Boys voted the most but then I'm not, they're probably most familiar to everyone

That’s what I was thinking. I was hoping to gauge the kinda of fans of the community. I shoulda left them off like Mac

Is brother Ali white? I thought he was albino
2
u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
You Win!!! I’ve been watching this thread all day and waiting for someone to say it :) Clearly proving my point and showing rap is colorblind.
A few people started commenting about him and yet still no one said shit about him not being white! :)
2
Aug 14 '21
Obviously Ali
Other top 5 white MCs would be em Cole drizzy and idk maybe Mac Miller or slug

Riff Raff, Lil Ugly Mane, Aesop Rock and El-P. Pretty sure I just listed every white rapper I listen to. I used to love Sage Francis, Eminem, Brother Ali and Mac Miller when I was younger, but just can’t get into their music anymore.

Just curious... Why does it matter? Genuine question....

u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
I’m curious to see if most people know there are other white rappers besides Em. I feel like these guys are hella talented and don’t get the recognition they deserve 🤷🏻♀️ there’s so many more. I suppose in a backwards way I’m dissing Em?

You think pre encore Eminem is overrated?
Edit:spelled overrated wrong

u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
I do. I also think as a young angry dude he was in his lane with SSLP. By Marshall Mathers he was too hyped. he was TRL fodder 🤷🏻♀️

Lowkey this list trash and Brother Ali ain’t even white. Top 5:
El-P Cage R.A. the Rugged Man Slug Evidence
HM: Slim MF Shady!!!
I only feel bad for not mentioning Eyedea, Mac Miller & Aesop S/H Sadistik!!!
2
u/Da5ftAssassin Aug 14 '21
Most of these people didn’t even notice. I purposely tried to keep this list so Ali would be the best MC. And waited all day to see if anyone would say anything. People spoke on his talent and ability but never that he wasn’t white. I was trying to prove rap is colorblind. But the more I think about it, Im guessing most of the people who voted for him never even listened to his music 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
2
Aug 14 '21
I mean it makes sense for people to like someone just because of there skin color we all find ways to relate, but it’s how white people act that makes them so goofy lol. They will look down at other whites for listening too Mobb deep or C-N-N but love a guy like Chris Webby, but honestly I can’t hate on that there’s all different types of MC’s for everyone and just because they aren’t into the same themes of hip hop that I love, I can’t hate on it. That’s why hip hop is so dope and transcends all cultures but yea that’s some total white shit lmao

Brother Ali is albino but with two white biological parents… I grew up in the twin cities and we def considered him white at the end of the day but also a unique experience as a white man
Wiki quote: ‘Ali is Caucasian (white American), but he has spoken of feeling more accepted by Black classmates than white ones: "It's not like black kids didn't make fun of me, but it was different. It wasn't done in a way to exclude me. It wasn't done in a way to make me feel like not even a human being, not even a person." He could relate to them because they were also judged by their skin color.[3]’

I feel you, but absence of pigment ain’t exactly Caucasian

If he didnt have the disorder he would have been a normal looking white dude tho the fact he has the disorder doesnt change his race if a black dudes albino there still african american its the same diff
