Bragging is ubiquitous in rap. Everyone does it in one way or another. You learn to tolerate the brags that don’t make you feel embarrassed for the artist, and you learn to love the brags that make you laugh or feel genuine or true in some way.
For example:
“Damn ‘Ye, it’d be stupid to dis you
Even your superficial raps are super official”
^ Boom. Funny and accurate. I’m sold.
Compared to one of the most notoriously shitty, shit-balls brags in recent memory:
“Tell my mom I love her if I do not make it
Got so many chains they call me ‘Chaining Tatum’”
^ That’s Drake. Shit rhyme, shit sentiment, stupid thing to say, awful, fuck it.
ETA: The good one is Kanye
