"Drake Brought Lyricism Back" - DJ Premier

[CrimsonTider]

Let's play devil's advocate here and say he's nice and has some classic verses.

Who did he bring lyricism back to? Who is saying "yeah, I heard that Drake album and had to step my bars up?". And I don't mean a couple people....I mean where is this "lyricism" movement that Drake supposedly started? People are acting like Drake went around the country doing open mics on some Lyricist Lounge shyt and singlehandedly saved lyricism from the brink of extinction.

Hell, TI was lyrically nice and going plat before, during, and after Drake popped up. Nobody says he brought lyricism back though.

Fred.

You sound retarded breh. 90% of my posts are in The Booth.

I've been into rap longer than half of this board has been alive. I completely ignored Drake until the reference tracks. Now he's basically Vanilla

I actually agree. Drake did. Well at least thats what Drake brought to the table.

Lets face it, all the really big rap Icons were lyricist. Drake, if he keeps going will be looked at as an Icon by the future writers

Wheres the lyricism?

a) Lyricism has little to do with subject matter. it's about how you convey the subject matter

b) why don't you ask Premo that?

Looking funny in the light.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

You're right.

But it doesn't matter. Premo was wrong. Should've been giving credit to his writing team.
