It's just an opinion. The difference between the shit lyricists I like and the shit lyricists in the mainstream is that I enjoy the shit they are talking about. I have no interest in nigga nigga nigga and guns money hoes. I don't wanna talk about it in a normal conversation and I have no interest in hearing somebody with the vocabulary of a five year old rap about it. It reminds me of the wannabe hood white kids who think they are emulating black culture.

And quite honestly I don't think a lot of the golden era stuff has great lyrics compared to the underground guys of today. I've said multiple times they get by on nostalgia. Unless they are fit my criteria of "good lyricism", I won't defend golden era stuff over today's mainstream.

I think you just want to lump me in as some elitist because I won't say the people you like are good lyricists. It's all subjective, why do you care? If the lyrics speak to you and you think they are good that's cool. I personally don't give a fuck about the garbage they are spewing and will not give them credit. I want to hear an expansive vocabulary, a variety of subject matter, similes/metaphors, and good story telling or I'm just not giving them props as lyricists. That doesn't mean they don't make good music, it just means I don't appreciate their writing (if they even did it themselves).
