    Rappers switching genres for a project can be hit-or-miss, but it's so good when a rapper does it right.

      Lol nah dude if anything he doesn't get enough hate. The fact anyone doesn't think his pop punk albums are absolute soulless dog shit is beyond me. As someone who was in a touring pop punk band that was part of warped tour for a couple years just before it went under, everyone I know in the community had the same reaction of disgust when he started putting out pop punk. His hip hop was honestly a lot better, and even that was on the better side of mediocre at its best. I will say that I don't agree he's talentless. He's become an ok musician. He's just a terrible artist. Even if you take his music out of it and try and take him as a person he's a cringy, shameless clout chaser. There's also a ton of stuff out there if him saying creepy shit about underaged girls, one of which I witnessed personally when he played the Cinci date of warped tour. Honestly he's hard not to hate if you have any taste or dignity. He's just lucky there's a lot of people that don't.

    I honestly think that Lil Yachty's psychedelic rock album wasn't great.
    Yes, the instrumentals are good, but that's not him, he called upon a bunch of different and talented musicians to provide the music for him. His vocal delivery is flat and subpart at best, when it's not utter garbage sometimes. He sounds totally dead sometimes on the tracks and when he's not outshone by the features like on Drive Me Crazy, she outdone by the instrumentals themselves.

      @@Kanyewestbiggestfan123 I'm not baiting anyone. Igor was boring. The majority of people who I always see praise that album is white boys. These geeks think everything that Tyler puts out is great. It's the same thing with Kendrick and Eminem. It's very annoying.
