I feel as if these "Grill Rappers" are only taking us 10yrs back and not forward. If Plies Ignorant-ass can show up not brush his teeth or wear clothing for that matter, make words rhyme that shoudn't, spreading the all types of STDs with his mouth (cause i haven't heard that man say condom yet) while he's sucking random womens nana. And somehow convince me that a goon is all I need.......then there is no hope for us as a people, our young men, MY son. He "dummfies" the intelligence of our youth, and ......f**k it I'm wit Kwadjo, Country music all day shuga!

A lot of ppl may not agree, ppl will look at him and say ugh. But these same folks have not listened to this cat and have definitively dismissed him as another gold tooth rapper that the game really needs more of (insert sarcasm). I'm not a huge fan of rap, but I do like this guy. He has above average lyrical ability and is able to be adored by women and men alike. He keeps it gangsta and sexy, it's a truly wonderful combination. So keep that in mind when you're reading this article. It's not particularly saying that Plies is by himself, the future of hip hop. No, rather, learn how to read between the lines and use your critical thinking skills. It's the whole delivery that this cat embodies that is the future of rap. It's about more than being able to transcend color lines, e.g. white suburbia and urban black.
Think about it....

i am so offended by this...anyone who has been raised on hip hop should be offended. you tellin me that as amazing and inspirational and heartfelt and intelligent and original and unapologetically real hip hop is and has the potential to be, Plies is what its destined to become? hip hop should slap the ish outta vibe for this.

lionheel says:

After discussion with other friends and music music lovers, I hearby DEMAND a retraction. This is ridiculous. It has nothing to do with being a "hater". Plies has nothing that I envy, this is about the TRUTH and that is this guy is in no way shape or form the FUTURE (at least I hope not) of Hip-Hop

Ddog, your just like the b**ches of today, if you dont like something, your automatically a hater. If we wanted to listen to country, we wouldnt be bothering with a hip hop website would we? you just as dumb as the man they put on the cover

DDOG says:

dannyboy says:

I'll bet he cant tell time on that watch lol.

This is not the future of rap WTF is wrong with you vibe?

12.

lionheel says:

If this guy is the future of rap then Hip Hip truly is dead. I can't believe Vibe actually pubilshed this sh*t. Either somebody needs to be fired or no neva mind somebody just needs to be fired. The same magazine that was intelligent enough to endorse President Obama is ignorant enough to crown this clown the future of rap.

Payola anyone (how much does it cost to get your face on a VIBE cover???)

Stack3 says:

are you serious? no really, Plies? it not about yall not putitng an established hip hop icon like Nas, Common, or Jay-z..nah. its about all the choices you had for the "future" of hip hop and you pick Mr. "Im from the South my n*gga, we dont learn no grammar". At 32 years old, exactly how is he the FUTURE of Rap? smh. i see yall trynna get on The Source level of irrelevant, 2 thumbs down Vibe.

16.

BigSexy says:

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS STOP HATIN' ON PLIES......

17.

Maipai101 says:

Oh, no not him AGAIN! I can't believe you have that busted ass, busted up, baby i can't rap for crap is on the COVER. Rap has no future if its him. Anyhoo, I'm buying this months issue because a REAL MAN by the name of MAXWELL will be in this months issue.

missyizz says:

clearly you guys have no idea what yall saying, or none of yall have actually sat there and listened to his music to even be saying hes not real. & no, t.i lil wayne jeezy then cant be the future of hiphop. THEY ARE HIP-HOP right now theyre not gonna be around forever just like Nas so thats why PLIES IS THE FUTURE of it.

Hes everything a thug today isnt.

erkeitt says:

Plies? Really? Is that what its really come to?

22.

shanab123 says:

How in the hell did VIBE come to the conclusion that Plies is the future of rap? Seriously? And how did he get the cover? I would've rather seen somebody who's album I'm actually goin to buy like T Pain or Ludacris grace the cover. But all his bust it babies will support him. Get ya paper boo boo.

23.

fiyahsoul says:

Sorry vibe I'm going against y'all on this. Why couldn't y'all put Lupe Fiasco, Jeezy, kanye, or T.I. they all have classic albums that recently dropped. I think they're the future of rap not Plies. Sorry homeboy needs to step his game up fa sho before he's labeled the "future of hip-hop" he's tight had some good bangers but he needs to have some longevity and dope lyrics under his belt to me. if he's the future then I'm throwin in the towel....

steve_o says:

oh shit. and what souljaboi is ridin as his wingman cuz they both have the same relevance in rap. put t.i. and nas in then bump plies and tell me what he brings to the table that rap is missin

JessicaLEIGH says:

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE BUT FOR MOi. I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK THAT PLIES IS THE FUTURE OF RAP. i BELIEVE THAT RAP IS MORE THAN JUST DOPE SATURATED LYRICS AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL OF PLIES CDS I POP THEM IN WHEN I WANNA GET IGNORANT NOT WHEN I WANT SOMEONE TO SPEAK ON MY BEHALF IN A WAY SO LYRICALLY PROFOUND, THAT I FEEL MOVED. NAH WHEN IM RIDING WITH MY DOPE BOiS AND GiRLS THATS WHEN I POP PLiES IN. I THINK THE FUTURE OF RAP NEEDS WAY MORE CREDIT THAN YALL ARE GIVING. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT RIGHT NOW THE ARENA IS OPEN FOR A PERSON TO REALLY BLESS THE MIC AND CREATE A STYLE SO ILL AND SO INFLUENTIAL THAT THERE WILL BE NO DISAGREEMENT AS TO WHO THE FUTURE OF RAP REALLY IS...

3for5atl says:

Plies is the future of Rap
no such thing as Gangsta Hip Hop
He's a Gangsta(goon) rapper
Nas is Hip Hop artist.
Nas is Hip Hop
"dat 745 i bought that for you haters"
if you hatin on Plies you must be a rapper or a wanna be.
Get your paper up playa!

nique897 says:

You can't be serious!

28.

FIRSTBORN says:

SERIOUSLY? If Plies is the future of rap then ya'll better go back and get NAS' album because HIP HOP IS TRULY DEAD if this clown is the future.

29.

fdhobson says:

uawbaby7 says:

If Plies is the future of rap, I'm bumpin' Garth Brooks and the Dixie Chix from now on. They are both harder than this dude.
