No.

If a nikka got bars, they got bars. He doesn't. Like you said, he's hood with shooters and you like the aesthetic.


oh word fair enough. so let me ask you this, is there anybody from his ecosystem that you do think is nice lyrically?

ex: future, gucci, kodak black, young dolph, lil baby, 42 dugg, dababy, yo gotti, 21 savage, etc etc?

None of them (never heard a 42 Dugg record). That means I'ma call him nice? I'm not grading Southern nikkas on a curve. If somebody says a rapper had bars and I give them a shot, I expect bars.

You can attribute other traits to them.

we have divergent views & that's fine i ain't mad. but what i am pointing out logically, is that you don't like this particular branch on the hip hop sequoia tree wholesale.... it's just not your thing. so in effect none of the nikkas who do this brand of hip hop will be lyrical to you at all, it's not exclusive to the kid brazy

and let's not make it about southern nikkas because fivio foreign, pop smoke, a boogie, lil tj, smoove'l, etc are all up top nikkas from new york and they're on that branch too (ex: bronx a boogie & florida young kodak smash hit drowning). kind of like how new yorker talib kweli, west coast ras kass, and mid west lupe are all more like southern jay elec than fellow new orleanian mystikal is. lol not only both southern but same city slime, yet? a totally different branch on the hip hop sequoia tree

The young New York nikkas aren't lyrical either. But you asked about his "ecosystem" and listed all Southerners.

I don't care for this "branch" because they aren't lyrical, not they aren't lyrical because I don't care for it. Once again, their appeal is in other traits as entertainers.

Dont matter what lyrical means to someone in particular... Im a 32 year old NYC cat who grew up with punchline rap n follow URL n Smack... None of them lyrical mircle nikkaz can put together a song for shyt

I had to expand my horizons n musical taste when NY rap went to shyt n the south blew up

There is more genius n skill in puttin ur thoughts into simple sentences than fillin four bars with metaphors, punchlines n multis just to get ur point across

Plus these new nikkas got a doper cadence n flow n go straight to the point

It is what it is

So these nikkas aren't lyricists and you like other aspects of rap that they bring to the table :unimpressed: just say that lol

That's irrelevant breh. I know what you're trying to do, you wouldn't ask a Gotti or DaBaby fan who their favorite boom bap producer is to test they're "openness" though. A pen is a pen no matter what beat it's on. They don't got it.
