i love how every cover pepperboy has , they dont front on his big ass teeth, its a reality of his
he has definitely learned his lesson
dude is hugely hit or miss tho my girlfriend hates when i play pepperboy music just as much as lil b
i try to tell her hes positive thugging i dont know if she gets it though
pepperboy will tell you to go to school and get good grades, and not to talk back to your mother
he'll mention how he struggled to learn how to hold a pencil correctly
thats kinda awesome if you think about it
its not that pepperboy is dope, its that pepperboy will tell you not to use dope
and your like omg pepperboy so positive thank you :flushes heroin down toilet:
he is all about you learning your lessons

Yeah you pretty much summed up the appeal of Pepperboy for me too. I mean I do actually like most of his music though, and not just the concept behind it, but dude is far from a great rapper.
His stuff also reminds me a lot of the really simple ABC rap flows of the early 80s stuff out of NYC but done by a guy from down south with a drawl. Like their was something endearing about old school rap like that that a lot of the stuff from even the 90s "golden era of hip hop" when it was all about being the best emcee ever was missing.
It also doesn't hurt he tends to work with a lot of up and coming producers I really like too.

While this is true, it just comes down to what you want your ears to hear. Some people listen to the beat more than the lyrics (in fact, i can guarantee 90% of rap fans on this site feel this way). Other could care less what the beat is doing, as long as its keeping up with the what the MC is doing. I can "handle" a so-so rapper on a dope ass beat, but i have my limits.
Rap is the only genre, outside of maybe country, where "living what you are talking about" is a big deal. Why is that? I know the answer, and im sure you do to...but its something to think about.
I guess for me, the stuff that Pepperboy talks about? Doesn't really appeal to me and it sounds off putting in terms of rapping. I can see one song about "positive thuggin (pretty much every rapper has done one before)", but every song on every album? The stigma behind hip-hop (at least externally) is far removed from what he talks about. Rap is, in its rawest form...poetry. I always associate poetry with dark, emotional subconscious shit.
And i hate to bring it up again, but its just mind blowing that people find Tech N9ne corny, but "artists" like Pepperboy, Danny Brown, Lil B, or Yung Lean (i mean...really? REALLY?) arent. Yes, i understand subjectivity, but holy balls...seriously??? I feel like, at times, im posting with a bunch of hipsters who find ironic shit cool (my brother is like this...i want to slap him half the time). Hey, if thats the deal...do what you do. Just trying to wrap my head around it.
Anyways, i digress. Really not trying to knock anyone's style, just trying to understand the reasoning behind it. Carry on.

The thing is those artists you just named are at least semi self aware some of their stuff is corny, and that's part of their music, where Teach N9ne and dudes like Hopsin are trying to be sincere, and deep, but they aren't, they are just corny.
All the other stuff you just typed mostly pertains to what I was about being 100% serious 100% of the time so I'm not going to reply and I don't mean that as a slight but I'm just sure you'd more or less already know what my reply would be.
