    I understand fantano’s argument of the vulgarity of male rappers being on a similar level to what Sexxy Red is doing. This doesn’t change the fact that I feel as though Sexxy Red’s take on vulgarity is one note at best and doesn’t compare to the expansiveness of Danny brown on something like XXX.

      @@QuietNDrive i agree, that's why it doesn't make sense to compare them imo, i'm not super into this kind of rap so i might be wrong, but i wouldn't call her the best female rapper when it comes to vulgar lyricism, it would make more sense to compare her to average male rappers in this lane.

      @QuietNDrive 4 місяці тому +4

      @zjay that’s true. I see what you’re saying. If Fantano is going to put Sexxy Red in a top 5 alongside Danny, I feel as though it’s fair game to make the comparison. The way Fantano sees it, she’s one of the best in the game right now.

      ​@gabehammack5237 Which is what I don't understand. He says her lyrics are funny and clever, but they are really basic, so I dont get the infatuation. Vulgarity in hip hop is not a new or shocking thing. She doesn't even bring anything new or interestingto the table.
      Now, look at someone like Cupcakke. No one sounds like her or will ever sound like her. She ACTUALLY does have the wit and sense of humor to make her lyrics work, as crazy as some of them are. Sexxy Red will never be Cupcakke.
