Yes, I against I is an amazing song. The flow in that track is very similar to a lot of Mos Def. I think Method Man might have my favourite flow, as well as Mos Def, Brother Ali, and Classified.

I don' think Eminem is very good, but his flow is amazing.
Everyone in Wu-Tang's got a good flow, Aesop, DOOM, Madvillain all haver great flows as well. Mos Def isn't lacking in the lyrical department but his flow is definetaly his strongpoint.

i personally couldn't get into jmt, mainly because of they're flow. They're music sounds so much like everybody else's as well.

aesop, method man, pharoahe monch, slug, actually busta rhymes has great flow as well :P

Hes got that "Im fat, blind, albino, and white trash" kinda flow. I love it.

I haven't heard much Slug, but I love his part in I'll Be Ok.

Sparky · 10-11-2007, 08:04 PM

slug is always better when hes cameoning on other peoples stuff, aesop, mf doom, ali.

"hey kid, you should **** exotic dancers, you should grow a pair of tits and some antlers!"

Rap is only good with humor and socially conscious lyrics. BLeh for rap love songs. The occasional gangster rapper is good(Biggie namely).

There is some brilliant rap "love songs" out there but you're probably thinking of mainstream crap. Then again what defines a love song? I'd say that Eminem's "Kim" is a love song. I'd say cuban links "letter to pun" is a love song. But neither are traditional/stereotypical love songs. Does a love song have to be about your love for a woman/your partner. Can it be about your love for a culture, love for your family, your friends, your fans. Is tupacs "dear mama" or Nas "dance" a love song? It's quite a subjective topic really.

Anyway, as for JMT. They're dope. One of the few american rappers I still listen to. Although I agree their beats aren't exactly made for the mainstream but who cares? I still like most of them. Uncommon Valor was a dope track but the rugged man outshined paz by lightyears.

all rap is socially concious at the some degree. Even the mainstream **** has at least a couple songs about being an opressed black male in america or something, even if its done horribly.

that's what rap is

That's what it evolved from anyway. Yah, it's actually moderately funny to hear Akon talking about racism.
