Ebro says Nas isn't a "lyricist"

[Redwing80]

Jesus died at age 33, there's 33 shots
From twin Glocks, there's sixteen apiece, that's 32
Which means one of my guns was holding 17
27 hit your crew, 6 went into you

 

[detroit devil 3]

"Gettin' ghost on the five-0!
fukk them hos, got a '45
Screaming out 'SURVIVAL'"

- A Bay rapper named Pac

I can't agree with this Ebro wildin

terrible lyrics

Jesus died at age 33, there's 33 shots
From twin Glocks, there's sixteen apiece, that's 32
Which means one of my guns was holding 17
27 hit your crew, 6 went into you

mindless babbling is lyrics now?

Nas is not known for word play?

I drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell

We're talking about that Nas, right?


Nas is one of the most poetic rappers of all time, if not the most. He's also one of the most romantic rappers. I don't mean "romantic" as in relationships, I mean in terms of emotion and nostalgia for times lost. Highly descriptive, taking in the moment in every detail and painting it for his audience to see/hear.


How is that not lyricism? nikka needs to pick up a dictionary. Thank god Nas won't fall for this and go on the show to be clowned by this lame. At least Rosenberg will probably check Ebro on this...

I just saw that Slaughterhouse interview where he was caping for Drake though,maybe he just tryna cause a distraction for Apple Music....Get the purist and nerds outraged about some other shyt to take the heat off...Im from the bay too nikka,i know manipulation when I see it playboy

Saw that too.But didn't Joey or someone else call out Ebro (and hot97) at the beginning of the debate saying fukk do yall care about lyrics all of a sudden.

i just meant its not simile rap.. like Red or Keith etc..

One of Nas best and most popular songs is called "Nas is LIKE".

"Deep like The Shinin’, sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin"

just off my head

Simile is just a small part of wordplay. and Wordplay is part of lyricism. So even if Nas doesn't do Simile rap, it still doesn't mean he's not a lyricist like that idiot said.

Lupe got his name from a whack nas group project and shaped his album after it was written which inspired him to rap. No nas, no lupe.
