    I partially agree, but for the most part disagree. I don't think you could take an entire genre and say "oh it's got too much of this" especially when it's in a way part of that culture.

    I'd agree though that there is maybe too many rappers renting chains/cars/grillz and rapping as if they are billionaires.

    shame you don't like it

    Ego is one of the founding themes of hip-hop.

    Yeah there's a massive stormzy bandwagon right now. Skepta is a veteran though and I feel like 2015 was a massive year for him in terms of international coverage.

    Disagree about US hiphop losing his way but agree that sometimes it's corny as f--- how rappers act like they're bad boys. Overal it's a part of hiphop tho

    No idea who this guy is btw

    Nobody in the world is close to Stormzy right now. NOBODY.
