that guy is a idiot don't waste time on him art.

 

[boskey]

lol he's getting clowned. Random Nas slander is an old industry trick, good thing it doesn't work anymore

 

[raw613]

He is a dude that just likes to hear himself talk, or see himself type in this case

Ebro is just saying some rappers are heavy simile rappers than others y'all.. nothing to see here.

I admit, it took me a minute to get into Nas material becuz I was heavy into Red and Keith.. Nas approach was not like theirs..

...and here's why that logic is flawed:

If you're a rapper, you're writing lyrics. As such, you are a "lyricist".
Just because your "approach" isn't the same as other "lyricists" doesn't mean you aren't one.
And, it also doesn't make you not a "lyricist" because you (arguably) might not be as good as another one.

Case in point - you bringing up Red and Keith.
P didn't like their "approach", does that mean P wasn't a "lyricist"?

The only real word play that I can recall L using was poor/po'/o-r and bevis/nuthin but head. Lines like jewels get run like red lights aren't wordplay to me.


Edit: maybe I should have said punchlines aren't automatically word play.

Textbook example of a smart-dumb nikka comment.

I notice that some hip-hop media like to take low key shots at Nas or discredit him. Combat Jack comes to mind and I could be wrong but I think Elliott Wilson also. Usually Jay-Z stans

nope, not at all..P was..Nas and P approach to hip hop lyrics is basically the same way. No similes, play on words at a minimal. Just well constructed rhymes.

I just agree with one aspect of what Ebro said that I THINK I know what he meant. But, if its posed your way, then I agree with you
