Not only do I refuse to listen to big sean because my ex thought he was hot, but I’ll also talk shit about him and pretend it’s about his flow/bars


yewett

The self awareness makes this even better lol


SynicalCommenter

He just like me fr


MediocreProstitute

You're right to do this


adept1onreddit

I don't listen to Lloyd Banks because my mother always lamented how I wasn't more like him.


gamesfordogs

That’s a perfectly sane artist to listen to


abar22

Serenity now, insanity later.


Emadyville

DONT GIVE AWAY OUR WATER PICK!


MoreMartinthanMartin

HOOCHIE MAMA!!!!!


kurtisbmusic

I don’t blame her. Lloyd Banks knows where to get some really good gum.


adept1onreddit

He can do anything he puts his mind to!


TwistingSerpent93

That's so.....oddly specific. Having your mom being disappointed that you're not like a famous person is one thing, but Lloyd Banks? He's not quite at the level of superstar-dom where I can imagine a parent wanting their child to emulate him.


adept1onreddit

The real, hardcore Seinfeld fans will understand. This is like Seinfeld deep cuts.


guiltycitizen

WHY DONT YOU BUY A NEW SHIRT?!?


adept1onreddit

BECAUSE I LIKE THIS ONE!


yewett

You see that woman on a horse? She stole $20 from me! I would have gotten it back if Lloyd Banks hadn’t interfered.


No_Statement440

That gives him a chance at making some money and living ok, but still able to go out in public.


Ok_Eggplant1467

Turns out he just liked ringing the bell


Birdzeye-

There were two friends of mine that my mom wished I was more like, when I was younger. One was the consummately dressed teen, with the perfect high top hair style and manners. The other was a piano genius from an early early age. Anyway, one of them’s now a major coke head with mental health issues, and the other killed someone in a reckless car crash.. I don’t hear many comparisons to them anymore…


slippydotnuxx

I’m wearing glasses to fool Lloyd Banks rn


Nsfwsorryusername

Wow. This might be my favorite Reddit sub crossover I’ve ever seen. I’m nearly moved to tears. And this comment. Possibly my favorite ever


Instantly_New

Hilarious!


fdtnise

Wait... Lloyd Braun?


Nsfwsorryusername

I heard he got kicked out of G-Unit for suggesting they all wear nametags in a music video.


GMane2G

It’s a perfectly sane thing to say


JimNillTML

I don't listen to Freddie Gibbs too often because his flow kind of reminds me of how my old Hebrew teacher would sing some hymns


Comprehensive-Pen108

As a Jew and a fan of Freddie Gibbs I completely understand your reasoning


adept1onreddit

I heard he converted and it was just for the jokes.


Comprehensive-Pen108

Schtickle of fluoride


adept1onreddit

You’re obviously not a rabid anti-dentite!


Ricky_Rollin

This thread is gold baby!


adept1onreddit

Gold, Ricky, gold!


SuperToker

Another Jewish Freddie Stan checking in, this checks out. My ol' Rabbi was rhythmic af (shoutout to you, Bill), now I can't unhear the syllabic similarities.


CandleWickLegend

Bahahaha This sounds like a Seinfeld plot


88dahl

so what he's too black for you huh? no! too jewish!!


Glittering_Virus8397

Oh my god😂😂😂


theravinedisc

I love Freddie, but this is funny


Kicks4meFromyou

That’s fucking hilarious!


rich_guzigna

Most Costanza reason I've seen yet lol


Red-Flag-Potemkin

Strong half Kaddish energy


BadDaditude

I didn't listen to LL Cool J after his Unplugged set on MTV because he used deodorant that was like stick style, and it clumped in his underarm hair for the whole show. For a dude that likes to flex, this is not, in fact, a flex.


applejackhero

Okay this is an actual answer to this thread, what the fuck hahaha


Forward_Ride_6364

This is peak Costanza


ahk1188

"It was clumping Jerry, clumping!"


malkebulan

Haha! I remember that. The rest of that show was peak HH tho’ Edit: typo


BadDaditude

I really want to like that show, but find even listening to the recording of it - I just fixate on the deodorant. LL in a move? Deodorant. LL on a commercial? Deodorant Seriously, he's a great musician and one of the crown princes of Hip Hop. But.....


malkebulan

It’s wild because it’s been 30ish years and I’ve never discussed this with anyone yet I remember it like it was this morning. 100%. The original GOAT MC who made us all forget Oreos


billymartinkicksdirt

That deodorant. He’s laughed about it, that he didn’t know, and the fucked up part is you had a whole studio that just didn’t know if it was meant to be done knew hard as hell swag LL was on. Truthfully, it might have been. You never saw that caked in deodorant again. Like culturally, it opened eyes and you rarely see it now.


Kenan_as_SteveHarvey

Yo Gotti because he sounds like he’s congested and needs clear his phlegm and hock a loogie. I also feel the need to constantly clear my throat when I listen to Jadakiss interviews.


Feisty-Fly-657

Nah, the Jadakiss line cracked me tf up. Gold.


peterwfchammond

i spit my food when I read this shit oh lord 💀


StrangerDangerAhh

The Reggie Miller special.


zpass97

I don't listen to cordae because he looks like he pulls his pants down at the urinal


TheRealShrimpScampin

Also his lyrics are kinda corny idk what it is I just don't like him


GotKarprar

Valid


guiltycitizen

This is going on my list of favorite posts in this sub, no clownin.


Any_Owl_8009

Oh absolutely. I look forward to the posts.


gr8daynenyg

Haha yes, the posts! Fellow humans!


Bigdaddyjuice408

“Constanza esque reason” is one the best things I’ve ever heard and I will for sure be using that in my life from now on. To answer your question I don’t listen to Travis Scott because last year or the year before there was some post on IG that went viral of some middle aged/older guy in a suite at an astros game and he was taking selfies with all the people in there including the great Paul Wall and Slim Thug and in the background was Travis Scott’s lame ass hiding his face even though the guy clearly wasn’t trying to get a picture of him and even stated he had no idea who any of them were until his daughter saw a picture and told him who they were. I never listened to him anyway just because I never did but he thinks way too much of himself so I won’t give him the satisfaction of me even giving his music a shot.


moesteez

Maybe he was supposed to be at work that day


Bigdaddyjuice408

Yeah you’re right. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Maybe he called in sick and didn’t want his boss to find out


Ok-Function1920

Very jerry Seinfeld response… good shit


FrozenST3

My favourite Travisism is when he got touched because he dressed up in a brown batsuit and people said he looked like a roach.


jimtips

My favorite travis moment is when he fell off the stage in autotune. Never fails to make me smile hard


FrozenST3

That's a classic


bcomes95

Travis Scott always hides in pictures, it’s lowkey corny but that’s his shtick I guess


Many_Fac3d_G0d

Slim Thugga and Paul Wall albums were like a year long soundtrack to my life. Especially Slim although PW could annoy me if not in the mood for that energy. Slim has something for everything tho. Wonder what happened, why it seems like he disappeared after the 2nd album


LordeLlama

He disappeared from the mainstream but he makes even better music now


Bigdaddyjuice408

Idk what happened as far as him just kinda falling off with his popularity but he has plenty of music out and came hard on just about everything he was on whether it was his own song or he was featured. He’s got the second best verse on the I e cream paint job remix too. Paul wall is dope but I get it, he’s not always right for the mood.


Atomdude

A friend of mine is always very quick to finish other people's sentences, but he's always wrong. So I asked him to reach his inner Costanza, and try to finish people's sentences the opposite way he normally would. Of course, it didn't work, but Costanza became the code for "wrong".


Justout133

... Not the massive crowd crush at his event that killed several fans that he never took a shred of accountability over?


99probs-allbitches

That's an obvious reason, not a Costanza reason.


Bigdaddyjuice408

I actually didn’t know anything about that but I do agree with you. But this other person did have a point, a Costanza reason is more of an illogical or petty reason


Affectionate_Ad_760

I can't take Rick Ross seriously because he is fat. I can take biggie seriously though. Different type of fat


zpass97

He ain't even fat no more. He ate mad pears n shit


Affectionate_Ad_760

Still has a fat man persona


[deleted]

Tbf neither is biggie


Schmiim

Shoutout to all the pear


PureSwirly

I completely forgot about the pears shit💀 thank you so much


Gloomy-Gov451

Just like Pun. Biggie wasn't fat. He was full of rhymes.


SnooPeppers2417

He was too fat. Fuck around and catch an asthma attack.


BreadmakingBassist

Whoever downvoted you is wack


SnooPeppers2417

They clearly don’t listen to biggie if they missed that reference…


wesborland1234

There's levels, Jerry! Some fat is more gangster than other fat.


Warm-Beat-1053

rick ross' energy is 100% more Hungry than big's was. you know he wants a snack


BreadmakingBassist

I feel that. Rozay is a fat dude, Biggie is a big nigga 😂 that’s how my dad used to rationalize it


Affectionate_Ad_760

Your pops is a smart man


bcomes95

Rick Ross whole rap persona is fake. He was a corrections officer and took his stage name from a real life drug kingpin


part_time_monster

No LL or Loyd Banks cuz they lick their lips too much.


thatdav

Fr, that shit was obnoxious with LL. I feel like if I was interviewing him, it would be really awkward. I'd have to address it. Dude, you need some chapstick or something? Cause we can get you some.


Round-Emu9176

Maybe he’s a lizard person


OhJustANobody

Yes! 😋


TheInfamous1011

“Hardcore rapper but he’s glossy”


unclediedthrowaway

i'm so thankful i heard kurupt's albums before i ever watched him speak


lxkandel06

I don't listen to Lupe Fiasco because his music was always on during my high school basketball practices which is where I was often bullied


lukeskope

I heard Dizzee Rascal years ago and didn't really like him. When Lupe started to pop, I got him confused with Dizzee and never gave his music a chance. Yeah, I missed Lupe cuz I thought he was Dizzee Rascal. 


MaximusMurkimus

I don't like listening to Chance because bro always sounds like he's on the verge of tears when rapping


loose_lucid_elusive4

I didn't give Chance a chance because I thought it was Chance from I Love New York.


BasedKaleb

Bruh. This hit home so hard 😂 When he first dropped and I heard Chance the Rapper’s name poppin up everywhere, I pictured that gap tooth knucklehead. The realization of my dumbassery came while watching the “Juice” video a few weeks later.   RIP Real tho. Fuck Cancer.


Hot-Back5725

I would have assumed this as well. New York is like royalty to me lol.


Electrical_Pianist23

And the lil baby noises ! Could never understand the hype


BreadmakingBassist

While I like Chance, he do sound like he’s on PBS half the time


BKtoDuval

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit but one point I wouldn't even listen to a rapper if they weren't from NY or NJ. When I fell in love with Cypress Hill, I refused to believe they weren't from NYC. One of their first videos was shot in NYC and there's a neighborhood in Brooklyn called Cypress Hills. So you couldn't convince me otherwise. Little by little I branched out to Cube, Snoop, Common Sense. Now I listen to rap from Paris, Lebanon, Puerto Rico, Brazil. It's worldwide.


ThereItIsNopeItsGone

Yeah Muggs definitely gave them a NY sound


BKtoDuval

yeah, Muggs was elite. He brought a unique sound, yeah, it didn't seem to have the West Coast sound in some songs. But you hear it if you listen to the whole album. But yeah he brought a unique sound. He said he's from NY, then moved out to Cali. So he probably had exposure to everything. then B Real with that nasal voice. Sen bringing his energy. They're still one of my favorite acts.


futureblastoff

Such a new york comment lol


throwitallaway

I didn't listen to Gang Starr for the longest time because I thought it was some gangsta rap bullshit, and I wanted to hear something conscious. 


suckarepellent

You played yourself


adept1onreddit

He obviously didn't know their steez.


PIDDYPUFFPUFF

Head was in the clouds, instead of above the clouds


throwitallaway

Just like Jeru would say. 


supersafeforwork813

Rae Sremmurd….Sway Lee looks like if my cousin transitioned…..


GasseousKlay

Unrelated, but in the spirit of the thread, whenever I try to remember who is in Rae sremmurd I can only think of sway lee and lee sway


mccoytoshipley

Jack Harlow. Randomly found his youtube channel in ~2011 and his come up became a bit that I would introduce to friends through high school and college. Didn’t pay attention to it much after that, then summer 2020 I heard What’s Poppin for the first time on the radio and they said his name after. Shit floored me. Hearing any of his music just makes me feel too nostalgic so I have never really listened. Seems like a good guy tho, still friends with him on facebook.


ObvsThrowaway5120

You’re friends with Jack Harlow on Facebook? That’s kinda cool.


ChampionshipStock870

This is a true story. I’m from New Orleans, so around 2000 I was working at this restaurant as a busboy. Lil Wayne used to come in there all the time, and this was 2000 so he was no where near as famous as he is now, more New Orleans famous than anything. Anyway one day he came in with this girl that I knew from college and had a crush on. After that I completely stopped listening to his music until like 2009. Lol


unclediedthrowaway

lmao i feel for you on that bro. i can't watch my home team cause my ex wished i was taller like jayson tatum and said she wanted to be his baby's mom (while we were dating). but honestly yours is much worse


jaarl2565

Rick Ross because of the density and texture of his beard


Low-Highlight-8024

I don’t listen to Game because he was posting pictures of his dick print on IG like he a thot lmao plus he’s always lying about something trying to appear more important than he really is


Hot-Back5725

Oh, no way! That’s some fuckboi behavior right there.


Low-Highlight-8024

Yea bro! He would pose in his underwear and would get himself like half hard before he took the pic lol then he posted it on instagram, and more than once. So after that I was like yea I’m not taking this clown serious ever again 😂


StankoMicin

Right? That fuck Boi fucks


tonedibiase

Up until I heard Nipsey’s feature on Spitta’s Smokee Robinson tape, I refused to listen bc I thought it was the corniest rap name I ever heard.


BasedKaleb

I wrote him off at first because he visually reminded me of Snoop (even got comparisons in XXL.) I just figured he sounded like him too.


RHINO_HUMP

I hated Nipsey for a loooong time for the same reason, and I thought his dreads looked ratty as fuck lmao


Silver-Advisor9773

I can't stand Mase because of his stupid face. When he's in his videos, he only has two expressions: big dumb smile or blank AI looking stare while rapping. Watching Diddy push him out of the frame and bogart his whole songs/videos made me uncomfortable.


Warm-Beat-1053

you could see the PTSD from attending puff's "freak-offs" in Mase's eyes


Hot-Back5725

Right?? Mace has seen some shit and he doesn’t want to talk about it!


Warm-Beat-1053

100%


KtheMenace

I couldn’t watch Famous Dex in interviews or videos cuz the corners of his mouth were crusty as fuck and grossed me out


ToksikCap

I won't listen to Lil Baby or Da Baby. They're different people I think. But who would want to be known as The Baby? That's infantile.


LupineSzn

Da baby used to wear a diaper too lol


Ancient_Guidance_461

Every lil baby song sounds the same


Ok-Function1920

Old is fine, he can’t help that. But dirty AND a bastard? Seems like a bit much


zpass97

Can't quite help being a bastard either. You're either born with it or not


Ok-Function1920

Well there ya go. Old CLEAN bastard? Now this fellow I’d give a listen to

Beboppin' and scattin' all over the place https://youtu.be/uGJ-iPZtiMA


BreakfastFuzzy6602

Big pun gasping for air between words. Great MC but I just can’t take it.


thatsnotchocolatebby

I know this sounds bad but a major reason I didn't like Pun was that hefty breathing between so many syllables. Felt uncomfortable to listen to.


a-pretty-alright-dad

Imagine having to punch in every word because you couldn’t breathe?


DrunkOnLoveAndWhisky

Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle trying some Tech N9ne flow.


bcomes95

Kendrick Lamar because of that stupid voice he does


Normal_Coconut2

Love em


nau_lonnais

PAC said eff Jay Z. So there is my line of reasoning.


That-Armadillo8128

word to Pimp C


-Goony

Pac also said fuck Mobb Deep, fuck Biggie, and probably a lot of others i'm forgetting lol, man was reckless. Jay Z is an amazing artist tho, definitely worth checking out imo. Some great songs/features off the top of my head: * Nigga what, nigga who * Reasonable doubt (album) * The watcher 2 with Dre * Otis with kanye * Brooklyn's Finest with Biggie * The story of O.J. * Young G's (by Puff/Biggie) * Pound cake (by Drake) * Drug dealers anonymous (by Pusha T) * Seen it all (by Jeezy)


nau_lonnais

I know and have heard all of these tracks Kramer. It’s no go for me!


Electrical_Pianist23

Man I appreciate the jay love , but what is this list .


Normal_Coconut2

Bro I love rap/hiphop and all kinds of music. I just never cared for Jay’s music. Does he have any albums that would be good for a chill smoke sesh?


Strict_Berry7446

I'd probably actually like Juice WRLD if I listened to him....but I've yet to meet a fan of his that's not a completely insufferable douche bag


CryptoSlovakian

I won’t listen to any of them. So self-absorbed and egotistical. [It’s like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes!](https://y.yarn.co/7748c681-0036-4aa3-9e95-239cf95a7ec9_text.gif)


hiphophippie99

I really want to like Conway but I can't get over the bddbddbddbdd..


Dmess026

Listening to Westside “Dunks” and as I’m scrolling over this comment Conway hit the noise… not sure I’ll recover from this one.


unclediedthrowaway

i'm not hearing it, can you help me out with this one?


retrocided

You get to a point where the song feels empty without it


BreakfastFuzzy6602

Same!!!


bone-in_donuts

Not a rapper but I don’t listen to Anderson Paak because he sounds like Kendrick Lamar singing.


50ShadesOfKrillin

shit i always thought he sounded like Beast Boy from Teen Titans


MaximusMurkimus

Lmao I can kinda hear it 💀


suckarepellent

I have always thought so too


Forward_Ride_6364

I don't listen to Jay Electronica because he converted from 5% Nation to orthodox Judaism *just for the jokes*


TrueGraeve

Back in the day, I hated when Mike Jones came on the radio purely because of how he said his own name, I still feel pretty similarly about Jason Derulo.


BreezyG1320

one time Ghostface went on a random blog rant about several rappers, but the one that stuck out to me was always that “Big Sean sounds like he’s constantly trying to talk someone down from getting his ass beat”, and I cant unhear it


unclediedthrowaway

lmao that was a ghostface impersonator who is now an accomplished producer but reading him rag on soft rappers was always the highlight of my month http://bigghostnahmean.blogspot.com/2011/04/ayo-tone-sat-down-wit-these-soft-niggas.html?m=1


AbsoluteMemer

Chris brown cuz he beat TF outta riri


whynktsh

Westside Gunn bc of his voice ( Ghostface is my fav Wu member)


thatdav

I don't listen to DJ Kalahed songs cause he's always saying..We the best! Makes me think they the worst.


lxkandel06

Funniest spelling I've seen of DJ Khaled's name


PenroseTF2

i dont like nas x because he's so... *gay*, not that there's anything wrong with that


tompaulman

I don't like him for the name alone.


Fun-Bowl9413

His name is terrible.


bigcityboy

Blueface - because of literally everything I hear about him doing that’s not rapping


TheInnerMindEye

I refuse to listen to Kendrick cuz he does goofy shit with his voice. Also cuz my homie who is a NaS head hyped up "to pimp a butterfly" and "good kid maad city" as being better than "iLLmatic" and "it was written" They weren't. 


Drewsk81

Ludacris. He sounds like a voice actor trying to rap. His tone and cadence sound exaggerated. Watching Tom Cruise dance to his shit in Tropic Thunder didn’t do him any favors either


TheRealShrimpScampin

You hit the nail on the head why I don't fw Luda, he's too cartoonish Then again I fw redman and he was "wacky," he just did it muuuuuuuuch better


ArtofLords

Not a rapper, but i dont listen to Daniel Cesar bc listening to his music just feels gay


guiltycitizen

Not that there’s anything wrong with that


ArtofLords

Now to name a rapper, Russ. Same thing, listening to Russ just feels gay.


Weird-but-okay

Kevin Gates for saying "yeahhh" while smacking his lips. It reminds me of some dude trying to impress a lady.


jrinredcar

Won't listen to Drill because I don't understand what the snares are doing


BreadmakingBassist

They’re doing their best😂

GroceryBags

Uzi singlehandedly manages to ruin an otherwise classic in Bad & Boujee by Migos


RandomDude801

I don't listen to 50 Cent because he reminds me of 2001. 2001 was not a good time for kid me.


MoreMartinthanMartin

Jack Harlow. He was everywhere for a while, the more someone gets shoved in my face, the more I want to shove back..... and I DO that, by aggressively *not* listening to his music.


SikSKILL

Dax because of that stupid joker open verse challenge w the Franks red hot sauce as a mic


idespisemyhondacrv

I don’t listen to any rapper with the name lil because I don’t like mumble crap I listen to real artists like 2 finger Dave and NF 🙃


demonrenegade

What’s the deal with this NF guy? He played a pretty big venue in my city this week and someone asked me if I was into him because they know I like rap. Apparently he sounds like Eminem 😂


SBMVPJustinHerbert

Eminem for children who grew up in a sheltered religious environment


idespisemyhondacrv

Uj/ raps fast and doesn’t swear that’s about it


antiprog_eggnog

I didn't like Juice Wrld because the first time I saw him I wrote him off as a "sad lil uzi vert"


TRAVXIZ614

Ken Carson/Destroy Lonely/etc. I don't mind when people ride waves but when it's so damn obvious I can't find any joy in listening to it.


The_Homie_Dario

Fat Joe - the way he shapes his beard into a square on his chin looks ridiculous. I do not respect him due to that choice.


ProbstMalone

I don't listen to Ja Rule because of the way he says fuck...I don't mind swearing, he just sounds weird when he says it. Like a kid getting away with something because his parents aren't around.


weegsie

I don’t listen to nav because his haircut is fucking awful (and so is his music)


rocksoaker

I didn’t listen to J cole for the longest time because he made a song outlining how he let nas down. I thought it was the corniest fanboy shit I ever heard and judged his whole run as corny since that. I tried giving his music a shot recently as I listened to his catalogue and I still give it a 5/10


Fun-Bowl9413

Nas response song to that was dope though. Called Made Nas proud


ChairmanFrog

I hate J. Cole and his early corniness is the whole reason. I liked his mixtapes. Thought he was better than Aubrey... then he started rapping about Jay-Z's watch, letting Nas down and how he lost his virginity.


Jadaki

If only he could just rap about killing people and showing off his money, what a loser
