Tyler is ENFP.. most Ne person ever
Joey is INFJ he values Fe over Te.. he's people oriented watch his interviews
Cole is IxFJ he's definitely an Fe user for sure. He's most likely INFJ as well
I think French is ESFP.. get more Fi vibe than Fe from him
Why Ti over Fi for Playboy Carti? I get more ISFP from him
Glad you agree that Kanye is ENFP ain't no way in hell he's an Fe user, thats idiotic.
Vic Mensa is really annoying to me, he could be ENFJ.. he's so dramatic. definitely Se/Ni and Ti/Fe
XXX is ISFP I agree, used to think he was ISTP but he is way too melodramatic
how'd you get INTJ for 6Lack? I don't know much about him but i'd be surprised to see an INTJ make his kind of music..
I think Denzel Curry is ENTP Ne/Ti not Te/Ni
I can't say for sure what Mac Miller is because he's tough to type but how ENTP? same for Freddie Gibbs? I always got more of an inferior Fe vibe for Freddie, I always thought ISTP for him
Killer Mike seems more Fe than Te in my opinion, but maybe i'm looking at it wrong
Lil B is definitely 100000000000% Ne and not Se.. ENFP no question.
Young Thug is definitely Fi-Se in my opinion.. don't see any Ne in him at all. he has a weird style but I don't think it stems from Ne. He persona is just like Future in my opinion. Not like a Cudi.
100% agree with Drake being ENFJ.. people who type him as a sensor don't really listen to his lyrics
that closely or they only listen to his hit songs
I disagree with Lupe being Ni, Lupe's lyrics are extremely Ne. Ever heard Mural? most Ne lyrics ever.
I think Desiigner is Fe and not Fi.. I think he's ExTP. just a very positive and nice ExTP
Chief Keef is an introvert.. ISTP for sure
Vince Staples is for sure ENTP. He's a living real life internet troll. He cannot stay on one topic in an interview. His Ne rambles on and on and on. And he makes a lot of Si references to his past when he speaks.
Logic seems Ne and Fe to me but I can't imagine him being Si dominant... not sure about him
What makes Kyle not ExFP? His personality is a lot like DRAM, very positive carefree and happy go lucky. I think he's ENFP
Why not ESTP for Meek Mill? not saying you're wrong I just don't see Si and Ne in him.
I think Iggy is Fi and not Ti. I'd say ESFP
What types do you think Wayne and Rick Ross are? for Wayne I can decide between Se and Ne. I think he's ExTP though, don't see any Fi in him.
Also put DOOM in there he's INTP and Jay-Z as INTJ.
major thank you to OP for making this thread I love typing rappers.
I don't see any Ne in Logic at all. I see an awful lot of Fe, Ti and Si. I could imagine him as a strained INTP or something but I type him as an ISFJ because he clearly values equality and the importance of working together as people (Fe), he raps a LOT about family, his past and personal experiences (Si), in interviews and his wife's YouTube videos he's reserved and kinda subdued (Introvert), he upholds the importance of religious and family values on songs like "Lord Willin" and he's interested in the traditions of hip hop as a whole (Si again). What other types would you suggest for him? INFJ? ENFP? I just don't see much Ne in him, to be honest.
I used to think Tyler was an ENFP (Bastard and Goblin are the most "unbalanced and psychotic ENFP" vibes ever) but Ne tends to show itself through the creation of metaphors, ideas and spontaneous creation. Se tends to show itself through colors, images and sensations. Tyler's sense of style and his music are clearly ExFP, no one's denying that, but I see his use of bright colors and sensations to create a vibe as more S than N. I could still see him as ENFP though, to me he's kind of on the boundary.
Joey is probably an INFJ yeah. You're right about that. You're probably right about French Montana as an ESFP, too. Se has such prominence in his lyrics that it's kind of hard to discern beyond "ESxP". Same goes for Desiigner, who could easily be an ESTP. I guess Denzel could be an ENTP, clearly ENTx though.
I can see Cole's connection to humanity as Fe, but I disagree with him as an INFJ. Reconsidering, I would say that J Cole is an ISFJ for kind of the same reasons that Logic is. He named a whole album after his childhood home, he's deeply involved with the traditions and customs of hip-hop, and his personal experiences are what empower and drive him. I think an INFJ would be more conceptual and ambitious with their ideas, focus more on the future, and less on the past. Cole often talks about the importance of responsibility. He discusses role models and family troubles, and focuses more on details and descriptions than on long-ranging concepts and theories the same way that rappers like Joey (INFJ) or Run The Jewels (both xNxJ) do. Also, I can't really see him as someone with Inferior Se.
I see Carti as an ISTP because he's cool and detached. His lyrics mostly talk about actions rather than emotions, and I feel like if he was an ISFP he would express himself more in his lyrics. He clearly sees reality as being more important than interpretation (a kind of "it is what it is" attitude) which I don't think an Fi-dom would agree with.
I think 6LACK is an INTJ for a few reasons. First off, I see him as a fairly clear Introvert. His lyrics are direct and detached, and he's clearly a reserved guy. Cognitive function-wise, I see a lot of Te/Fi and a lot of Se/Ni. I think he's an Se/Ni dom because he's clearly got a complicated relationship with these two functions. In his songs, he often discusses his tendencies to either overindulge in material pleasures or neglect them entirely. He sees himself more conceptually than I think most rappers do, often implying ideas about what drives the people who surround him, and what the future will hold. He also has strong ideas about long-term relationships, saying that they're what he really desires, stressing the importance of the future. He finds himself too easily sliding from one thing to another, when what he really wants is stability. He's also clearly ambitious. All of these things make me think he's an INxJ, and I'd argue that he uses Fi rather than Fe. He's got a similar kind of reputation to Drake, just more introverted and logical. Since Drake is an ENFJ, it would make sense for 6LACK to be INTJ. I'm not saying his lyrics are genius or that he puts remarkable amounts of subtlety in his songs, but I do think he's an INTJ. I agree that an INTJ would be unlikely to make that kind of music, but he clearly does a lot of drugs, and also there are INTJs that work for Buzzfeed.
It's interesting that you say Lupe uses a lot of Ne, and I'd probably agree, but I also think he uses a lot of Fe. He doesn't strike me as an Fi-user, he's often focused on family and togetherness rather than the individualistic drive of the ENFP. But I don't see him as an ENTP either, and if he is one then he's got some pretty repressed Ti. ESFJ would actually make a fair bit of sense in my opinion, maybe he's an ESFJ with an Fe-Ne loop or something. I guess I'll have to haphazardly type him as an ENFP/ESFJ.
Thug is interesting because it's hard to say whether he's Ne or Se. Kinda like Lil Wayne in that sense. As you say, he's an Fi-user. The reason I'd argue him as an xNFP is because he often leaps from lyric to lyric without much organisation or prior association, he's clearly good at connecting things together mentally. His eccentricity also says Ne to me. Also, all of his albums are kinda invented spontaneously. JEFFERY was a concept album (kind of) about the person he really is behind "Young Thug". His recent one BTG was suddenly all about romance and pop music etc etc. He's also got an offbeat sense of humor, and there's a delightfully random progression to his lyrics ("I'm way in the moon, kickin' sh*t without a broom, my mama can't lose, imma keep her in a fresh car and I'll put on her shoes") and when you compare that to Future, whose lyrical progression is more linear, you kinda see a difference. Despite this, there's a good argument for Se (lyrics about sex and drugs, focus on how the music sounds rather than its content, interest in fashion, hedonism) but I'd argue that's just stemming from his Ne. Also, Young Thug's persona is eccentric, colorful, spontaneous and weirdo. Future's is jaded, drug-filled, tired, violent and serious in comparison. I also think that "Jeffery" is introverted while "Thug" is extroverted. In interviews, he's really introverted, but I think the rapper and the man behind him are two different people in terms of MBTI. I'd say Thug is an ENFP and Jeffery is an INFP.
Meek's way of thinking tends to revolve around success, motivation, leadership, family and repressed personal issues. His most recent mixtape was even called "wins and losses". Most people would probably type him as ESTP. I'd say he's an ESTJ because I see him as using Te/Si rather than Se/Ti. An ESTP rapper (take Gucci Mane, for example) is focused on the benefits and rewards of being a famous rapper. The ambition and effort is just a road to whatever the ESTP wants to get out of rapping. The more practical and product-oriented ESTJ is more focused on the effort and ambition itself. Of course there's lyrics about balling and having sex, but you can find those in almost any modern rap artist's lyrics, regardless of MBTI. An ESTJ rapper would be interested in controlling his environment (as Meek is) and staying true to wherever he came from (also true, and a result of Si shining through). I think Meek has inferior Fi because he seems to repress his feelings in his songs and the songs about his emotions are therefore more serious and heartfelt than rappers with Feeling stacked higher functionally. Meek as a Te-dom makes more sense to me than as an Se-dom.
Kyle's general attitude is so amazingly positive and outwardly focused that it's really hard to see him as anything other than an Fe-dom. This contrasts with DRAM, who is a fairly straightforward Se-dom, someone who is incredibly friendly and cuddly but whose interests lie in sensory pursuits rather than interpersonal bonding and diplomacy. I guess he
could be an ENFP, but I don't see much Fi in him at all. I see a lot more Fe.
Vince Staples as an ENTP? I don't think so. In interviews and even in his music, he's clearly very introverted and inwardly focused. I agree with what you say about staying on-topic, and his fairly spontaneous and Ne-based rambling, so I suppose he's an INTP? In a weird kind of a way, that actually would make a lot of sense for him.
Lil Wayne is a very eccentric ESTP. I used to think he's ENTP but he's just too sensory to be an ENTP. He also doesn't have the constantly questioning and inquisitive nature of a common ENTP. The drug abuse didn't exactly help, though. At this point he's DRUG.
Rick Ross is ESTJ for the same reasons that Meek Mill is. Focused even more than Meek on dominance and being "the boss", focus more on personal experiences and his past, and a clear product-oriented outlook as opposed to the process-oriented nature of the ESTP.
