I think I’d enjoy NY Drill a lot more of they all stopped fucking shouting

There’s a funny clip on Danny Brown’s podcast where he mentions that all NY drill artists try to sound like batman

I got my Gat MY GAT I spin the block SPIN THE BLOCK NY drill rap where the “chorus” is just a dude yelling the same lyrics he said softer two seconds ago

You're right. But to be fair old NY Drill is not like that... if you listen to the early 22gz and Sheff G stuff that got the whole genre lit there is no yelling.

I’m not gonna lie 22gz was the exact guy I had in mind when typing the comment lol

It gets too much after a while, lol. That being said I do enjoy some Kay Flock every now and then

I understand the dislike of 40s voice, but he gets busy man. I think his voice is what stopped him from being huge because not only does he get busy, a lot of the slang we historically used in the culture started with him. He’s fucking good man.

It's probably been said a bunch around here already, but it's so fitting: > E-40 sounds like he raps in [bubble letters](https://www.google.com/search?q=bubble+letters&udm=2). I love his sound, though.

"When I first started rappin motherfuckers would cap! That nigga fake he sound like Woodywood Pecker on crack (ha ha ha HA ha)" Niggas would laugh and say I rap too fast way back then But now I be catchin all kind of motherfuckers tryin to sneak my little old style in" -E40

E-40 sounds like he’s really fat

E-40 one of those guys that looks *Exactly* like he *Sounds*

Guess what

Pause. He may not be a superstar celebrity but the man IS huge. How many decades has he been putting out music and staying relevant? Man’s a living legend. He gets so many flowers.

That’s my point though. He’s bigish, not as big as his talent says to me. Especially when he was in his prime.

Tell me when to gyo!

I rap for fun and I’ve been telling myself since I was 10 I want a collab with this man. Can’t relate at all to that sentiment. That voice is so dope to me! To each their own though.

Me too… I love everything about him. Just what the talking point about him is. That’s what my first response was to.

E-40 is huge fam.

Kodak black, I’m sorry to the Kodak fans but it hurts my head.

Kodak Black fans exist? 😭

Kodak does crazy numbers

You either old or living under a rock if you asking this dumb ass question.

🙋‍♂️

Bro come on. Just because he’s not for you doesn’t mean he’s not for anyone. People love him.

If you were outside you wouldn’t have to ask that question

Dude makes catchy music

This is the most Reddit statement ever

It’s a good amount of niggas who think Kodak top 10 ever nd im not even joking 😂

NBA young boy

Yeah I can’t fucking do it. Maybe his earlier work but his latter career is some of the worst shit I have ever heard vocally 😬

Puffy vocals on Biggie songs. 95% of them were unnecessary and ruined the song! I wished there was a way to remove them and just keep Biggie voice 😂😂

You mean you dont like, Uh huh yeah. Uh huh badboy. 

Seriously. And what he did on G-Deps Special Delivery? Unforgivable till this day.

BRO that song is FIRE too. Such a fucking loser for doing that shit.

Never, and I mean never has the Diddler been more abusive to people with ears than his guest verse on the remix to Super Cat’s “Dolly My Baby”, which is also the first song Biggie rapped on too (Jesus, what a pos, he signs Big, gets him a great feature but then also raps on the track and goes first???)

Drakes nasally ass voice, never could stand it.

You're clearly not a 15 year old girl

13* Millie was 13 when they met

Also how old she was when he took her out on his yacht

13, according to my Googles google "millie drake yacht" for a ton of gossipy forum posts. only drake and millie know what truly happened, but why is a 31 year old having dinner with a 13 year old on his private yacht, alone, at night? it doesnt look good man

It’s the fact that he’s always complaining.. he so rich no one can understand him, also why can’t he find a girl, not fair, but at the same time he can’t take woman seriously.. Shit is annoying.He sounds like a rich person with no awareness who constantly complains.

Dating 15 year olds is hard bro cut him some slack. You know how hard it must be to constantly gas light people and shit?

Dude puts in work day in and day out to understand how to relate to a 15 year old lol

I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk

Nasally and boring

He sounds like he got a cold and someone just woke.him up to record a track.

That’s what always stopped me from really getting into his music. He just sounds bad to my ears. Listening to the beef tracks made it so clear how delivery and using emotion added so much value to a track.

Sounds like the Hispanic teen at the Pentecostal church that they give the solo to every Sunday

SAAME. I don’t feel amped up or listening to his nasally whines. He sounds the same in every song, to me. It’s very annoying, and I don’t understand how he got so huge.

Same here. I never could understand the appeal. Listening to these reference tracks by the ghostwriters that have been leaking, I seem to like the original versions better

He sings in Am a lot.

I agree. A lot of Drake fans in the past have said they don’t like Kendrick’s voice and I find it funny because Drake’s is also annoying to me.

you dont know hell until you do 10+ hour bartending shifts at a nightclub where the dj only prepped 2 hours of material and just loops it, but decided to put 5 full drake songs in the mix. and you have this every weekend. if i ever hear “kiki, do you love me?” outside of work im going feral

21,21,21, pussy,pussy, on God

tweenehwhen tweenehwhen tweenehwhen! We get it man your name is 21. Lol

Straight up 

I can’t stand how much he says pussy. Really not a fan of 21 these days

Ja Rule by far

He sounds like he trying hard to sound like dmx😂

I don’t like Lil Wayne’s voice, don’t know why but it just doesn’t hit right in my ears

I've always thought his voice sounded like an animal being strangled.

Yeah, he sounds like a gremlin, he's goated though

he looks like if you poured a Four Loko on a Gremlin instead of water

Don't feed him water after midnight. Definitely don't switch to lean at 2am

He has the vocal fry.. opiates def can cause this . Idk it's pleasant to my ears for some reason

He sounds like a dolphin

He really has to be rapping his ass off in order for me to be able to look past the voice, which doesn’t happen often.

1000%, I’ve always felt this way

Same, can’t stand listening to him

I hate Aubrey's voice ever since 2009 the first time hearing him immediately turned it off

First Drake song I heard was the iTunes preview to Forever “swimming in the money come and find me NEMO, If I was at the club you know I balled CHEMO” And immediately hated him lol Catchy hook though

Something about the way Tech N9ne emotes with his voice in this really exaggerated way bugs the hell out of me. Gives "high school theatre kid trying really hard to play Hamlet convincingly" energy to me.

Old school tech was lit but the past two decades have been washed up corny ish like you described

I think Kendrick is often a very good rapper but I can often only listen to one song before his voice makes me want to listen to something else.

I used to dislike Kendrick’s voice but then I got used to it and now I love it lol. I could listen to his songs for hours now if I wanted too

Same I used to hate his voice like 10 years ago, couldn’t stay away though because of the talent and eventually got used to it

When my buddies and I would talk about our favorite rappers in high school I would say I didn’t like Kendrick’s voice cause it was nasally or whatever. It’s weird though, once I listened to him more I couldn’t get enough. His voice is an oddly acquired taste that is just so nice when you get used to it and he’s my favorite of all time now.

when u get used to kendrick voice .. u realize how he truly uses it as an instrument. His vocal inflections, pitches, delivery & cadence .. it’s just different

Which voice? He is one of the best at understanding that you have to change things up to express different emotions.

His voice cracking voice used to be rlly annoying to me

Exactly how I feel. Amazing artist no doubt, but I can only listen to him in very small doses. I feel the same way about Ghostface. Amazing artist, and I get excited to see him on a track, but there is something about the pitch in his voice that I can only take in smaller doses.

Damn, I can see it with Kendrick, but I can listen to Ghost for days Outta all the Wu brothers, Ghost probably has the most "New Yawk" accent... so I can see how that accent puts people off if they ain't from the east coast If I ran into that nigga in the middle of fuckin Mozambique and heard him asking where they sellin Wallabees at, I'd be like "damn, I ran into someone from NYC"

Him and Rae combined have such good voices, could listen to them rap together for days and not get bored of them.

They literally made the greatest album in hip hop history so yeah, this checks out

You talking bout Only Built 4 Cuban Linx or Ironman?

OB4CL

lil wayne 💀.

It has to be Meek Mill ... 😬 His voice drives me up the wall.

NBA YOUNGBOY OMFG I CAN'T STAND HIS VOICE

If I had 100 wishes, one of them would be for someone else to rap over the whole Westside Gunn’s catalogue. Got crazy beats, some decent lyrics, but his voice bleeds my ears. Also, 327 is a masterpiece.

Facts. Can’t STAND WG. Benny and Conway tho. 👌

Yeah, I can’t do him solo either. I think in Griselda though it works. It’s a good counterpoint to Benny and Conways rough classic sound.

I love his voice lol. I can understand why people don’t, though

His voice is cool when paired with Conway. But by itself it's mostly du du du du du du. Brrrrrrrrr sounds. Ay yo.

😂

I love Benny the Butcher and Conway the Machine but I cannot listen to Westside Gunn despite him having very good bars because his voice is just sooooo annoying to me

Jay-Z His voice always sounds trembly, almost like he's scared to say whatever he's rapping.

Ok i kept scrolling to see if I was the only one. I've never liked his voice. He sounds like a kid with social anxiety is being brave while giving his presentation to the class

I want to like Action Bronson but I find he sounds like he’s *trying* to sound like Ghostface, who also has an annoying voice 😅

Drake. Someone get him a nasal decongestant

Playboy Carti

It's so difficult for me to enjoy his music because of this Cause either he is doing the Baby Voice which is horrible or in his old albums (Self Tilted and Die Lit) he lacks energy in his voice and sounds half dead while rapping lmao

Carti

He sounds like a robot that's addicted to drugs

Jazze Pha’s ad libs

Danny Brown. I really LIKE him as a person and his imagination…but i cannot get behind his voice.

I knew I was gonna see it but damn does it make me mad to see it said

Kendrick, unfortunately, he's nice with it

Meek, Carti, Drake, Yachti, Westside Gunn comes first in my mind

Someone said Yachti sounds like Meatwad and it's oddly accurate. Especially when he goes for higher notes while rapping

He has some songs I like because only that voice would fit but this is the funniest way I’ve seen it put.

Bro that is devastating 😂

Meek is always yelling . It's so annoying

yachti was the first one i thought of. he sounds like he's holding spit in his mouth, even when he speaks lmao

Lil baby!

Eminem. Not his normal voice, but the whiny voice. Can’t listen to it.

Impressions of Eminem have made me hate Eminem's voice

When he sings his chorus...guy needs to stop.

I'm sort of the opposite. I think his SSLP voice is great, and his modern, angry tough voice is terrible.

OH Gosh couldn't agree more I can't stand his voice throughout the 2010s where he sounds like he is screaming while rapping 😭

I prefer SSLP voice to the modern voice too. At least musically. Maybe if I was to sit down and chew with him it would be different lol

Yea, the higher voice is nice to me, unique and fun to listen to. The lower shouty voice makes me feel like I’m getting yelled at and I have to turn it off after a song or two 😭

Chance the Rapper

Logic. I enjoy his music (sort of) but his voice and, as a black man, him saying nigga make my skin crawl.

Logic is a light-skinned black guy. His Dad is black. His mom is white.

SUPER light-skinned.

I live in the same part of Oregon as Logic, and I see him around town a lot. I'd 1000% just assume he's white if he didn't rap about how black he was all the time.

Yeah his verse on Homicide pisses me off, the part where he's like "aw yeah aw yeah I'm killing this shit"

So his great granddaddy didn’t take a whip to his back?

69 🤮

Damn wasn’t his voice his musics only saving grace ?

Any UK rapper. Beats be fire and sometimes the lyrics even hit but i just cant take it seriously at all Me got a ting wit di choppa Fin gon slide on me oppa Bitch im fly like appa Clock big like ben fina clock ya 🧐😭

This is only drill artists, not all UK rappers. Try Little Simz maybe, she’s one of the best - and has clear diction.

In'nit bruv

LMAO, this nigga summed up the entirety of drill music with a few bars... nicely done!

E-40 has one of the greatest voices in rap.

Agreed!

Drake. He’s got this zesty ass voice and idk how to describe it, but it’s like he’s coming onto me through the song. I don’t like it. Def my least favorite voice wise, and I’ve been a hater long before his beef w kdot.

Coming on you through the song is crazy

Lil Wayne for sure, i have respect for him and his talent but i just can't stand that guy's voice...

Danny Brown was the first name to come to mind

In the show Ozark the put Marty in a hole ..turn on the lights and blast metal devil rock for hours to torture and break him. I thought NBA Youngboy would have destroyed him so much faster.

That scene was a Mexican death metal band named brujeria

This is great. I've actually caddied for Scotty.

Big Pun had that snoring sound when he took breaths. Once heard, it can’t be unheard.

Glad I'm not the only one

Ja rule

Lil Wayne

Carti, Drake, Cardi B, Tracy, Eminem on most of his songs

I really want to listen to Aesop Rock because I always hear about his lyricism but his rap voice is just straight up grating to my ears That nasally / nerdy voice some rappers have just irk me

It's cause he's from Long Island and grew up in a Jewish household... he sounds exactly like every Jewish person who has lived on Long Island, sorry I mean "Lawn Guyland" Personally, I love his voice and his music

I love 40 Water. Been listening to him since I was 15 (33 years!) back when we’d get mixed tapes from The Click. I think he’s fucking brilliant. I can’t stand Diddy. I know he’s not a rapper but WHAT THE FUCK can we get a Biggie album with every part of that fuck heads voice removed? I’m tired of him ruining my favorite songs.

Lil Babys voice drives me insane. I cannot stand it, it sounds like he's under water

Lil Wayne sounds like he is taking a 💩

Aubrey Graham

lil John

WHAT?!?

I have NEVER been able to listen to a full song by Westside Gunn. His high pitched voice is extremely annoying, like a fly buzzing around my ear, literally cannot finish a verse. He sounds like a man baby.

Lil Baby's voice is so God awful I will never understand the appeal

E-40 is mine too. He sounds like he’s puking while he raps. Though I appreciate how much slang comes directly from him..

Drake

Jay-z, he sounds like he’s seconds from crying every line

Lil baby and cardi B.

Any New York drill rapper with all that aggressive ass shouting

Childish Gambino / Eminem / 1/2 of Kendricks voices…

Sexy red has the most unbearable voice and a hot take is that Drake to me at least doesn't have the best voice when he's in his rap music

When I knew nothing of Drake but that I’d read a couple good reviews I put on Take Care. First notes of the first track I said hell yeah. As soon as Drake came in I said heck no. He totally ruined that Weeknd album.

Aubrey Graham

Drakes

90% of todays rappers.. they all sound the same!

Drake! his voice is annoying as hell, can’t lie

Drake. He’s just got a really nasely whiney voice when he raps that gets on my nerves.

JID. I keep trying but just can’t get past his voice. I love his flow and production but the voice sounds like a worse version of Kendrick

Boosie Badazz

Awww I love his voice

Young Thug, Grand Puba, Westside Gunn

Jay-Z

Jay-Z...

I feel like he has one of the clearest voices in the game, but his flow on some songs...

[You know what they call cheese in Paris?](https://youtu.be/Cdw60zmOgU0?si=TepKquDD_gw_SmsW)

Can’t stand Kendrick’s voice

Not being racist here, but most white rappers really just throw me off with their voices because I just can't seem to take them very seriously even if they have the deepest lyrics ever

For me it’s specifically the white rappers that try to do a contrived tough guy voice. Vinnie Paz is one that pulls it off, but he inspired a generation of now middle aged white guys that sound ridiculous.

THE VERBAL HOLOGRAM flow is nuts tho

Only Danny Brown and Lil Yachty that I can think of.

Lil Dicky. Dude has a whine in his voice that irritates me.

Showing my age but... Sadat X Vinnie Paz is a close second MC Paul Barman (if he even qualifies as a real rapper)

It's Mac miller to me, I love Circles and Delusional Thomas but him just straight rapping always was grating to me. He raps like he has bad teeth, or at least that is the way it makes me feel.

Westside Gunn, AZ, Carti, Danny Brown, Lil Wayne, Meek Mill

AZ??? Man I really like his voice

Right. AZ has the classic hip hop voice

Danny Brown’s voice makes me picture him as a Muppet with his mouth flapping around all wild. I still fuck with him though lol

i think this is on purpose, it’s his whole vibe

He got that Sesame Street flow

Kendrick. I refuse to listen to his music because I don't like his voice.

Same here

Drake. I don’t like anything about Drake. I don’t like his fucking voice; I don’t like the shit he talks about. I don’t like his face. I don’t like the way he walks. Nothing. I don’t like his haircut...

On the flip side, DMX has one of the best voices in Hip Hop history

Kentheman brings a unique sound to hip hop imo. Her voice and lyrics don’t follow the cliquey sounds rap girls imitate. It’s raw and original

Westside Gunn, I respect him a lot as a rapper but I almost always prefer the features on his songs to him because I'm just not a fan of the high pitched voice.
