Seriously....I read somewhere that he's only been in the music game for two years (allegedly). He doesn't sing, he doesn't rap, he kinda sing-raps....I dunno, some of his beats are catch but man someone please tell me how this guy can beat out millions of wanna be rappers to make it to the top?

Never heard of him - ever! And, that's just fine with me.

Fetty wap , is that a chicken wrap , never heard of him.

Because someone famous sampled his song in their hit?

Uh, no, he hasn't been around long enough to have been sampled. I'm surprised nobody that's responded to this thread so far has heard of him. This is surprising because the Non-Prince threads are usually chock full of people and posts that are up with current artists...

Because Kanye said so? This statement is bold and large, which means it is carries more significance than yours.

Uh, yeah, LOL

Th' fuck is a "Fetty Wap"? It sounds like a slang term for masturbating.

I must have confused him with someone else as unremarkable!

yeah I read something about him online that said he's only been doing music just two years and he sold mixtapes on the street corner and now this guy is a hit but I can't see anything great about him. He doesn't rap, he doesn't sing ,he rap sings and I'm no musician but it sounds off key as well. Maybe he's related to an industry insider but doesn't admit it because it would damage his "authenticity"

Rap singing has been around for at least 3 years now. Get some culture. You don't need talent to be famous. You don't need some old defined "art" to be a respected artist. This statement is bold and large, which means it is carries more significance than yours.

It's hard to say but I do know that "Baby won't you come my way" line gets stuck in your head like a bad memory. Maybe that's the secret. I didn't get "Trap Queen". Don't know what it means. Don't care.

Get some culture? Oh lawd Remind me of the other famous rap-sing songs that I've probably forgotten about by now

He's probably talking about any number of songs by Drake.

According to Wikipedia, Kanye West's vocal range on Love Lockdown spans nearly two octaves, from G#₂ to G#₄.

Rap singing has become the new thing since his "groundbreaking" 2008 release.

The same reason any number of acts become famous:

The kids love him.

Who or what is a "Fetty Wap"? Sounds like a parasitic STD.

Well, I went to a comedy show recently and Cedric the Entertainer came out to a Fetty Wap song and even cracked a few jokes about Fetty's "songs".

Ooh! Ooh! I've heard of him! He's the one-eyed singer of this year's summer hit, "Trap Queen"!



Explanation? This year's Soulja Boy Tellem.

Ner nerrrr nerrrrrrr.

Wasn't Nelly doing this 15 years ago and Bone Thugs N Harmony & MC Smooth before him in the 1990s? Maybe Nate Dogg could be considered singalong rap too. He was around in the 1990s.

Um, I think Bone Thugs were in a league of their own as they sometimes rapped and then sometimes sang but they never "rap-sung" if that makes sense

catchy

Man, when I was in the car a little while ago I was at a red light and someone in a car in the next lane was listening to a Fetty Wap song LOL.....let's see if anyone remembers him in 10 years!

I am telling you, from Force MCs (MDs) to DJ Hollywood, rap singing has been around since the beginning of the genre. That was how I tried to understand Nelly.

In 1979 there were records by Eddie Cheba & The Sequence.
