  • www.vladtv.com - Silkk the Shocker has landed on a few "Worst Rapper" lists over the years, which the New Orleans rapper addressed during an exclusive interview with VladTV. He added that it's hard to understand why he's on the list when he's went double platinum, which most rappers can't say they've done.

      Lewis Jones I can't agree with that, they all spit simple nursery rhymes over catchy beats. Just because they from the 90's don't mean they could "rap".I personally don't have a problem with simple rappers, so it is what it is.

    • @lewjones3
      @lewjones3 8 років тому +15

      I'm not saying all rappers from the 90's can rap. But lyrically they were better than as lot of rappers now.. they get more points just of the fact that they rhyme their wits and u can understand them when they talked

    • @joshuasutton7416
      @joshuasutton7416 8 років тому +6

      +Lewis Jones The only difference I see is the old school style vs the new school style. Lyrically they're all the same level, simple rhyme schemes, shallow content, and no. wordplay. The flows, enunciation, and beats is what seperates mc hammer from future. If you don't like the new school flows and enunciaciation of future than you would probably enjoy listening to hammer more.

Without the voice dub to cover up the lack of skill, even riding the No Limit label couldn't have made him popular. Dude just couldn't rap for shit. Period.

    Silk went with his own original flow & style and was important piece in NO LIMIT RECORDS which is debatably the most successful crews not only in hiphop, but in music period. The Hiphop Community as a whole owes Silk an apology, Silk never came at any of his haters sideways and his crew really were mad responsible with their wealth and they still have all their money. You gotta respect how much he values himself and wields self esteem. Otherwise he would be on jail or dead. Dude has a great attitude.
