does dude have some crazy back story, like his mom drank too much Mountain Dew while he was in the womb or something?
he's not a dead ringer no but if you're asking for a precedent of "chubby white rap star with a goatee" that's probably the closest you're gonna get

how am i 'defending' him what is wrong w you
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
comparing a dude's career to a luckier spliff star qualifies as 'defending' around here
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
you called him "charmingly bad" which is like the deej version of "pretty fly for a white guy" and then got in a 50 post argument with some dude about how his looks(?) make him some unique rapper entity

youre being mad pedantic today. this argument is getting idiotic so im stepping out of it but Berner is a funny-looking weirdo who lucked into a successful career somehow & that is amusing & interesting to me, there isnt really an easily-notable precedent that i can think of & certainly hasnt been one mentioned in this thread, which is why jokes about his origins are funny
good lord u can suck the fun out of anything
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
im certainly not responding to that level of pedantic idiocy from whiney

oh ok, he's a funny-looking weirdo. yeah, never been a famous rapper like that ever.

lol @ the disingenuousness here surpassing even "if a television soap star can make it in the music industry, surely a flat-footed greek immigrant-looking weed dealer is mere seconds from rap superstardom"

lol @ flat-footed
imo berner looks very much like a specific kind of wannabe rapper, but not the kind of successful one who ends up getting big krit on his debut solo LP & tons of PR & attention

so all of the hundreds of rappers currently at Berner's career level or higher fit a certain profile or 'look like a rapper' in some basic way? that just seems like a weird idea to me.
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
it's like saying a guy in a successful band who has short hair "doesn't look like a rock star," feels very outdated to even pretend there's some narrow criteria for looking the part anymore

i think its p interesting that lady gaga and ke$ha aren't what anyone would call traditional "knockouts" like madonna or kylie or whatev
― chairfuckers union (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i would say that many successful rappers strike me as 'successful for a reason' even if i dont love their rap style i.e. wiz. berner is like the anti-wiz
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
some people seem like stars, some dont. berner seems to have outgrown his image
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah maybe the difference is i couldn't begin to guess or care why most Berner-level rappers are as successful as they are
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
the thing with berner is that he picks better beats than your favorite rapper (not assuming your favorite rapper is nas)
― sisilafami, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:04 (thirteen years ago) link
there is kind of a small-scale rick ross thing to him, where hes punching out of his weight class (very much figuratively, obv, in both cases)

nht boyz are my favourite thing in rap right now by a good distance still listen to power triangle more often than any other release from last year. their feel for pop rap & hilarious voices & sense of humour, doesnt get better imo

they are a v well balanced group in terms of goofy fun & realness & silliness & musicality
