![]() This dude has insane delivery and breath control--the way he flips syllables never ceases to amaze me. Tech N9ne has the propensity to spit pretty fast while maintaining a pretty commanding presence on the mic. There's rapping fast and sounding monotone while doing it...and then there's spittin' fast, maintaining breath control and still dictating the points of enunciation in your delivery and that's what separates the boys from the men. Kool G Rap spits much faster than your average MC and is of course the king of multi-syllabic internal rhyme schemes. Chino XL can rap pretty fast too.

It's still a talent, though. Noone is saying the only measure of a good rapper is how fast they can deliver bars. It's just another aspect of the genre to admire. If you can't understand the lyrics then look them up like a regular human being.

Not for me. Good lyrics are so rare that it's always puzzling to me when someone not being able to understand what's being said is an obstacle to enjoying a song. I just tend to like music for the way it sounds. All I require of lyrics is that they're not so bad that they detract from the song which is why, for me, lyrics that are hard to understand or are in another language are often an asset.
A conversation about music I guess. |

e.g., I can listen to Li'l Wayne's "Greatest Rapper Alive" even tho the song is not even a candidate for a great showcase of lyrical prowess but the instrumental is so freakin' on fire and Wayne at least rides the beat in harmony--so it's an enjoyable song in my opinion, but lyrically. I don't require something I listen to--to be a clinic on lyricism. But my list of greats are all lyrical beasts in some form or fashion. So my question to you sir (or ma'am) is what do you consider good lyrics, i.e. what are the criteria that qualifies lyrics to be good? |
