The standards are so much higher for white rappers than black rappers. The standards are so much higher for younger rappers. The standards are so high, and yet allow such average content to be accepted and even celebrated.
Lazer Dim 700 is a rapper from Cordele, Georgia that became relevant from very minimalistic music videos of himself rapping around his neighborhood. Lazer is a pioneer of a new wave of minimal effort rappers. People connect with the sentiment of rebelling against quality. To be fair, people often ruin the beauty of elite content by being pretentious and mean. Lazer Dim 700 has one flow, but it stands out. It's a short matter of fact observation followed by a short pause. He's got a sense of humor and he doesn't take himself too seriously. The interesting thing about his presentation is that it resonates with suburban culture without being overly intellectual or victory competitive.
Society claims to be afraid or boldly unafraid whenever it's convenient for hate. Society is bitter about universal problems, but warp those problems to target convenient targets. RapIndie is very inviting and friendly, but all we can do for bitterness is display artists with the same bitterness you have for the same problems.
