Jul 1, 2015 He's definitely one of the guys who has music that is balanced in both areas. Good To Be Home was dope.
Jul 1, 2015 Hip hop has way too much dumb downed nonsense. Having skills to write dope rhymes should be something that fans want from there fav artists.
Jul 1, 2015 Tbh, I don't give a flying f--- about 'profound lyrics' in any genre. I don't listen for that. Make good sounding and emotionally impacting music. That's all I care about.
Jul 1, 2015 no, how bout making good f---ing music? "or anyone can rhyme wall and ball and be good as long they're really good at X and Y and Z of course!" what are you even saying?
Jul 1, 2015 Hip hop was based pretty much on 2 main elements. Lyricism and the beat. You need elements of both for me to consider you a talented artist in the hip hop genre. I think I said this once before. You could be the most lyrical MFer in the game, but if you dont have the production to go with it, your album is going to be boring as f---. I'll use the wu tang as an example here. Arguably some of the greatest mcs of all time, but I personally find their production boring so I dont f--- with them. But at the same time you cant just pick a hot beat and maybe a catchy hook, and be s--- with your lyrics. For me that's not talented or being creative. I see a lot of these examples in the dirty south form of hiphop. The same repetitive types of beats and I dont like them. I'll use artists like young thug, future, 2 chainz, soulja boy and iggy as examples of what my point is here. So yeah for me to enjoy your music you need elements of both. There are other smaller elements I look for too, like the voice for example. I cant stand Wayne's voice so I Dont f--- with him. But right now im listening to bobs strange clouds album. I dont think anyone here including myself would list him amongst the greatest mcs lyrically. I dont think he is bad lyrically by any means. but as a whole with all the other elements he brings such as his voice, singing and production, I find him very enjoyable and I think hes dope
Jul 1, 2015 While typing this you were the first person to come to mind lol I knew me saying rap should be lyrical would grab your attention if it got anyone's My post was pretty self explanatory but when did I say you needed to be a "lyrical mirical rappity rap" to be a good rapper or make a good rap song? If I made it seem as if your skill effected your music than that wasn't intentional
Jul 1, 2015 You said for a rapper "being lyrical has to be a main thing right?" and the answer to that is VERY simple no. what does being "lyrical" even mean? (looking for an answer here)
Jul 1, 2015 Homie if that's the case than the earliest rap songs (from the 70s and early 80s) wouldn't be considered hip hop cause the lyrics there are god awful Plus hip hop is a culture, rap is the music for the culture.
Jul 1, 2015 yeah the lyrics are super trash here brah, no good rapping going on whatsoever Spoiler [Produced by Nard&B] [Intro] You know how we be rocking, ya' heard [Verse 1] Bright light shining all bright on the Bentley Work the Cadillac, panoramic, no panties Old school Chevy '55 granddaddy Gotta throw some salt on it, cause you know I'm getting at it Throw the fork on it, then put it in traffic Throw the sauce on it, got it flying out of Dallas Hope you didn't do it to yourself, that's tragic Hope you didn't throw away what we established Hope you wouldn't turn your back on your family The way a n----- look 'round here, they'll back stab you Word from your motherfucking brother, young n----- I just wanna see you happy, I just wanna see you happy Coming through the cut like a known Grim Reaper Bout to get it straight finessed, tryna get a little cheaper Hold on to that clip like a doped up needle Girl hang on that strip with a four desert n----- [Hook] Nothing but a bad little b---- in some red bottoms Where ya' man at? heard that the Feds got em I seen ya' cruise the Land Rover thru the west side Gold Rolex, better check your peripheral It's a full moon in the middle of the day Got them wolves out, rock a little Cartier Got the trap jammed packed like The Masquerade Know a few real ones ain’t gon’ see they next birthday Tell them young n----s grind 'fore you gon' knock someone down If they gon' s---t, then s---t something We better hear 'bout this s--- on the news or something We better hear 'bout this s--- on the news or something Man down over yonder Young came through holding on the K like a drummer They done took a boss out n-----, no wonder n----s getting crossed out n-----, no wonder Hoes getting X'd out and we on ganja The police wanna talk, but we won't say nothing True to these clips, n----s won't say nothing True to these clips, n----s won't say nothing [Verse 2] Had the Parkay jumping out the Pyrex High definition glass on my pinky finger n----s swimming in the water, no paddle n----s trying to walk with my shadow The bird on the bezel, I’m a well known rebel Told a young n----- Freeband, Roc-A-Fella Told a young n----- Freeband, Roc-A-Fella You can turn this off and I can kick it acapella We work the frontstreet where mama said: "Don't go" We went there Trap house at bomb with that crack, then we went there Shawty don't f--- with these folks, these n----s be telling these days, be telling these days [Hook] Nothing but a bad little b---- in some red bottoms Where ya' man at?

Jul 1, 2015 Yeah I would assume rap would be the most lyrical genre in music. I don't see rock breaking down works to make them rhyme how they're not supposed to so I expect this from rap. Do I expect every rapper to do things like that? Of course not. Rhyming simple is still great I have no problem when Eminem does that comes off smooth and effortless. Doesn't need to put words together to rhyme but it's cool when he does. But arguing with you is like talking to a wall and I don't find things like this interesting especially about a genre I don't even like lol. So yeah Narshh you're right your knowledge on hip hop is wpg level it's godly!
Jul 1, 2015 These MCs and rappers wanna chat 'bout their syllables And their multis and their similes And all that s---, then I come through with my ABC's - JME
Jul 1, 2015 There are so many factors to consider when judging rap, lyricism is one element. If someone isn't very good at multis and whatnot but has good flows, good beats, and is generally pleasing to the ears, you literally have to have the thought process of a 12 year old to go "no it's bad because rippity raps" Music evolves, so complaining that aspects of it are different than its inception 30 something years ago is redundant.
Jul 2, 2015 Good thing you posted the lyrics, because I couldn't understand a word he said, still whack though.. sorry Narshybro
Jul 2, 2015 How is him talking about cop shootings etc being on the news whack in any way shape or form? Smfh
Jul 2, 2015 I don't like his voice and/or his flow don't get mad, it's all matter of opinion bro, remember that... calm down
