    Wack punchlines
    Rappers singing and singers rapping unless you can actually do both i.e. Lauryn Hill
    New rappers/fans not being students of the game and not showing respect to who paved the way
    Old heads hating on every new rapper, even the good ones
    New fans comparing new artists to legends
    Fans and artists alike acting like record sales is the only thing used to determine who's better
    Everyone using the same producers
    Ticket prices being OD expensive, when 2 out of 4 dudes on the lineup are almost always trash
    Swag rap
    Rappers saying it only took *insert small amount of time here* to finish their album, and then the album sounding like it
    Rappers saying they don't write their ? , only for their rhymes to sound like they don't ... that and we don't believe you
    Wack delivery/voice/flow ... I don't give a ? what you're saying if you can't ride the beat

    Albums getting pushed back and rappers not saying who they got on their album. And they wonder why they got low album sales.

    damn right. besides jay and i think biggie, everyone that does that sucks. if they actually wrote their ? would be better, but i bet theres some that do write and just say 'i dont write my rhymes' to try and get people to be like 'oh ? its the next jay-z!'

    "I'm not a rapper I'm a _________"
    Sucking up to female rap fanbase in the most obvious and disgusting ways. (WALE, Drake though he's starting to do it less)
    "My album is.....A CLASSIC" (Wale again)
    "Hip hop is dead/I'm bringing hiphop back" Ahhhh ?
    "Waaaaaah Hip Hop was better in the 90s waaaaaah"
    ? who stopped writing but clearly need to start doing so again. (Wiz/Wayne)

    ? complaining bout the state of hip hop.. hip hop is a refection of it's consumers not the other way around...

    also ? c/s ? sayin "they are finna bring hip hop back" hip hop will never go back 2 what it "was"

    one of the truest statements ever on this board.

    Songs where the last part of the verse begins with the chorus. For example-

    [Verse]
    You got Wayne, I charge it to the game
    And baby you can keep the change, but...

    [Chorus]
    I gotta hold on, hold on to my receipt
    To redeem your love, that's exactly what I need

    Also, dickriding a rapper's song/freestyle just because he's a legend. Eminem's freestyles in both of the Hip Hop Awards cyphers were wack, but everyone keeps pretending like they were hot.

    If I hear another rapper's answer like this, I'm going to RKO somebody:

    Interviewer: What do you have planned for the future?

    Rapper: I got my solo album dropping next week "Load, Unload", the streets have been feenin for that heat so me and (Insert 1 half of group name he was in here) got back together and we are going to drop an album by Easter, then I got a new artist signed to my label, his album is going to have Drake, Rick Ross, Natalie Cole, Rihanna, Kanye West, Eminem, and a very special surprise guest. Buy the album and you'll find out who the guest is"

    I hate when rappers who had a decent buzz not capitalize on it by dropping an album, instead they decide to drop more mixtapes. I mean what is the point of that?

    Rappers who change their sound and music clearly for more exposure to mainstream and money but said they are "evolving" their music when clearly its dumbed down and whitewashed.
