    I think the simpler answer is because they have dope beats...

    An emotional connection is actually what they fail to create, Lil B is the shocking exception so dont bring him up

    I think one of the reasons people like wack rappers is because it allows them to have more confidence about becoming a rapper themselves. Imagine if every emcee was skilled on some WuTang, Biggie, Nas ? . None of these dudes would even try to become a rapper because they would know they ain't ? with the pros.

    But in today's game you have Drakes, J.Coles aka average dudes with no thought-provoking ? , so the average fan sees that ? and thinks, well ? if they can make it so can I ... and for the most part it's true.

    It used to be only the talented bruthas got signed and recognized. It was the dudes who could flow like it was nothing, the guys who could write the old testament, the bruthas who could rock a mic and get the whole crowd hype.

    Now it's just a pathway that rebellious and/or lazy dudes see as an alternative to school. They think, "Instead of school, I'm going to be a rapper," and because wack rappers get shine, they actually do have a valid chance of it happening.

    Yea, I have said this since Mike Jones was real big.

    It's Production.... Can anybody name a Wack Rapper with "Wack' or "Boring" beats that has received ANY type of light?

    Plus ppl dont like to think or pay attention. If your listening to music while your driving are u gonna be focused on what that last metaphor meant or making sure aint no cops in the area?

    Culture change is all it is.

    Again a revisionist assessment. Illmatic for example had Q-tip,Pete Rock,Dj Premiere,Large Professor some of the most sought

    after producers of that time. Lets go west coast for a minute ? had Dr. Dre on production nuff said.

    Since the beginning of hip hop there has always been less technical rappers , ordinary everyday person rappers, rappers that

    never finished high school etc. Too Short, Eazy E , E-40 , Dougie Fresh, Curtis Blow, Biz Markie, etc are less techinical rappers,

    Native Tongues were regular cats for the most part. Eminem,Nas and Phife Dog never finished high school that I know of.

    the reason people like wack rappers is the same reason people like "good" rappers
    this ? ain't rocket science
    people have differing opinions
    it's the same reason a ? like me would never wear a pair of fusions when there are ? that swear by them ?
    or the same reason i can watch family guy all day and night but my girl hates that ?

    People have different standards. Artists I think are wack;

    Z-ro
    2 chainz
    Lil Wayne
    Drake
    Meek Millz
    Among others...

    But these guys have fans who enjoy they music. Just the way the music works

    Z-Ro. damn ? . u find Z-Ro wack....wow! ? jus aint for u. ? far from wack.

    the "it's production" theory is ?
    i personally know people who think gucci kills songs
    i know ? who think 2 chainz is clever
    why can't people just like what they like without having feelings for the rapper or being intrigued by the drum?
    this is some elitist ? at it's finest

    They don't. You think beats played a big part in Gucci's come up when every song was produced by Zaytoven and all Zaytoven beats sound just alike?

    I never been a Fan of Zaytoven or Lex Luger but that Get u amp "Fun" music plays a part. Put Gucci on Canibus beats and lets see how much ppl say he "rip" ? .

    Sidenote: Gucci did ? that Mario song "Girls are like Buses Miss one next 15 one Coming"

    Now this song right here is what a great artist does. The whole concept of this song is amazing. Most people get the impression that he's rapping about a female named Suzie who is featured on the song. "Suzie" (typical white girl name) is really ? , and the female voice is Ester Dean.
