Alright, lets take a fresh approach at this. I'm going to provide an an example of jay z's music and try to provide reasons as to why it's a POSSIBILITY it might be good.



Infectious beat. Provides social commentary about police racial profiling while still not taking itself too seriously, a la 99 problems. Jay'z cadence wordplay, etc does nothing to DETRACT from the song. Lets compare it to an artist who is no doubt terrible



How do you not notice a discrepancy.

Yeah that Lex Luger jam was way tighter. Good beats and his flow wasn't droning on like a Jay Z slobberfest. Good call. OK I'm out, good luck guys.
