Hip-Hop/Rap Fads

[jeepster]

this year its vocoder's and rapping as little as possible, last year it was chipmunk-voice and mace trying to make a comeback

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER PERTINENT AND OR DUMB HIP HOP/RAP FADS?

gouf knows whats up/.

[Lab]

[ADDIC]

[Halifamous]

Most homoerotic video opening.

JESUS I forgot how much those guys sucked. Half their rhymes are lifted and STILL suck.

[nf one]

wasnt there a period in like 05-06 where pretty much every song used another old song with added drums as the beat

um, that's called hip hop.

[Head Ninja In Charge]

The "rockstar" phase was some mind-boggling shit. Hooks laden with bad guitar riffs, Travis Barker showing up in every other video, rappers name-dropping Coldplay and John Mayer as inspirations, wallet chains, skulls - fuck, I thought I was going crazy.

The day Jim Jones traded in his red leather bomber for a smedium Ed Hardy tee was on par with the day I found out Omar Little was gay. Tried my hardest to still like him after, but the arbitrary "yes homo" was too hard to ignore.

[Head Ninja In Charge]

Then there was the beef fallout after Nas and Jay. When Bow Wow and 3LW started banging on wax, shit had gotten a little too real.

[homi29]

this year is all about make an appointment with "mr. i cant make an appointment"

[fadingblue]

does lil wayne count? hes been in every single song in the past 2 years probably

and camron is not a fad, camron is god

and what about every other south nig trying to come up with some stupid little dance (that they know CGWs will end up dancin to)?

[FAM0US.]

Cam'ron is fucking horrible, what the fuck.

[magicy]

hipster hop seems to be a huge fad. fade back 80s shit as well. which i guess is hipster hop. (i.e. the cool kids, though i really enjoy the cool kids so no spite)

[fadingblue]

^^^^ what you talkin bout!?!?!?! killa cam so good

[ADDIC]

oh shit, cant forget about that crunk!

[keagan]

congas.

world music

africa shit. highlife samples

[billy.]

can't wait to UNDS when they come back.

[redshirt]

Rappers trying to do a formal look of some sort...

Lil wayne in a baggy suit and a retarded tie, Nelly with a bow toie while wearng a vest and sando.

Good times. (10)

[Le Buttsecks]

bust it babies

[ProfMonnitoff]

how the fuck are the swollen members allowed to lift organ donor?

[lexerone]

how the fuck are the swollen members allowed to lift organ donor?

Swollen Members had some ok tracks, theyre pretty much dead now.

They tried waaay too hard to get that "underground" appeal.

or at least that how all these lil LA hip hoppers saw them.

You know, touring with Nelly Furtado and all.

EDIT:

I would also like to add that the whole,

"Im a rapper into streetwear, So that means i have to Skateboard" Phase

Is probably the most annoying yet.

Or

Rappers wearing famous stars and straps and having Travis B(ro)arker in their music videos. The "I make shitty rap music, and feature other people that make other types shitty music" Phase.

[JackPhotography]

this thread is obviously for dropping serious knowledge

for the record

cam'ron was the shit

[WayneGibbous]

Rap is so diluted and Hip Hop is dead. I'm perfectly happy listening to old Wu, Gravediggaz, Flatlinerz, BIG, Redman, remembering the days when Hip Hop didn't need fads.
