See that's the thing, I like a good lyricist just as much as the next person but I don't tend to value them higher than other artists.
I appreciate different artists for different things. It can easily just boil down to how the song makes me feel and if I can grove to it. I will acknowledge that they don't have the best lyrics but if their production is on point. I will still be into it.
I do have a pet peeve against certain artists that have been coming out lately. YG, French Montana, Lil Dirk, Chief Keef. They annoy me and at the same time they are so popular so people are always bumping their crap songs while driving through the block.
I do tend to like production/beats more than lyrics though. A hot lyricist with a whack beat isn't one that I would listen to.
