[Big Mark]

Terrible!

 

[Hardaway]

lyricist always meant slick talk and "bars" not the fake smart shyt nazz does

that's why nikkas call jadakiss a lyricist even tho his shyt is simple but no one calls talib kweli one

 

[FreshAIG]

Even Biggie didn't think he would win against Nas for best lyricist

 

[Hardaway]

young thug is the lyricist of the year

 

[IllmaticDelta]

lyricist always meant slick talk and "bars" not the fake smart shyt nazz does

that's why nikkas call jadakiss a lyricist even tho his shyt is simple but no one calls talib kweli one

This is stupid.

 

[Hardaway]

these are facts

the typical "lyricist" is someone who will give u a classic radio or mixtape freestyle/verse with hot lines and/or flow (think prime wayne or something)

not someone whose verse ur gonna think about deeply and do homework on, studying its hidden meanings
then try to convince people that its good even tho u don't understand it (nazz)

Once again The Coli knows fukk all about lyricism.

Biggie was just as deserving as Nas tbh.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

i dont understand. how can one not see big was a better lyricist than nas

 

[baltimore]

if you cant see that ready to die was better lyrically then illmatic idk what to tell you.. especially with ready to die dropping later it was fresher

 

[JuvenileHell]

No wonder Nas made It Was Written

 

[AJaRuleStan]

Ha, the culture rewarding lyricism, we would never see that today.

 

[Harry B]

Both albums were 10/10


The thing was that Nas got 5/5, Biggie got 4 or 4.5/5. So in that regard, it was weird that Nas didn't win. But like any award, who the peoples fukk with will always have an edge and Nas was nothing compared to Big in the streets or commercially. Specially not down south and out west.

That's why Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole move most units in the game

That's why Run The Jewels 2 was the #1 album of all genres in p4k last year and Kendrick this year


Or why BET hiphop awards has an award called "lyricist of the year"

Nobody calls Talib Kweli a lyricist?

You're a joke.
