I don't know what those 3 forms of ambiguity are :pachaha: but other than that, yes :manny:

These basically words that capture what nikkas mean when we can't describe why some dudes are nice on the mic.
"He just sounds like he belongs there...there's something bout his flow...his delivery though...some nikkas got better punchlines but his just hit."

Lexical Ambiguity is:
Lexical ambiguity is the presence of two or more possible meanings within a single word. Also called semantic ambiguity or homonymy. Compare to syntactic ambiguity. Lexical ambiguity is sometimes used deliberately to create puns and other types of word play.

Syntactic ambiguity, also called amphiboly or amphibology, is a situation where a sentence may be interpreted in more than one way due to ambiguous sentence structure.

Semantic ambiguity. Even after the syntax and the meanings of the individual words have been resolved, there are two ways of reading the sentence. "Lucy owns a parrot that is larger than a cat", "a parrot" is extenstensionally quantified, "a cat" is either universally quantified or means "typical cats."

These basically words that capture what nikkas mean when we can't describe why some dudes are nice on the mic.
"He just sounds like he belongs there...there's something bout his flow...his delivery though...some nikkas got better punchlines but his just hit."

You somewhat have a point but if we aren't talking about lyricism then

we can also argue that
"He just sounds like he belongs there" = Mic Presence or riding the beat

"there's something bout his flow...his delivery though" - Flow is an important part of hip hop, but many confuse flow with multis.. take Big Pun for example.

"some nikkas got better punchlines but his just hit" - Punchline rap is almost dead but good punchlines are not a dime a dozen

can somebody translate his tweet please :pachaha:

At the end of the day that tweet comes from someone who obviously takes his job seriously, we gotta admit that.

Only someone that chose lyricism as a career path would have such a scholarly tweet explaining lyricism.

I'm just saying, every rapper should learn these things.

Imagine hip hop if every rapper did!
