One Crazy Summer: In Defense of Papoose
New York rapper Papoose is the punchline to social media’s snaps and memes. Is this fair? Or do we need to leave Papoose alone?Punching bag status undeserved.
It is deserved, him and his cheerleader Kayslay from the gate were touting him as the new king of new york with each shittier than the last mixtape drop. That’s why he turned into a joke, this dude has been hanging around with boring songs since 2004, two years later has a best of papoose tape, then finally in 2011 decides to come out with king of new york tape?
I think there are plenty of worse rappers but he was one of the ones who held on to those king of new york bullshit dreams, bringing lyrics BACK bullshit and never did. He is the proto big sean/j cole and with just the same amount of personality and empty raps.
Dude never caught on no matter how much they pushed him or how much he refused to believe so of course it turned into a hip hop joke. He should have realized that shit when two years into his rap dream he thought it was perfectly fine to release a Best of mixtape on goddamn FLIPMODE RECORDS. fucking delusional, hell I remember then joking that he was the new Spliff Starr.
