How are jewelry and fury not slant rhymes though? The stressed syllables rhyme, but are not identical.

I never said that multis are exclusive to elite lyricists.

i know u did not word it that way but u implied it because most people myself included considered pac a top 5 mc not just offline but on this board

with that said the fact that u implied that nas uses more slant rhyming and more multis then pac without providing any evidence and also when i provided many examples in this thread on how i think pac is more complex with rhyming then nas tells me that is what u was trying to say.

also jewelry and fury are not true slant rhymes because jewelry and fury don't even have the same first syllable sounds tecchnically speaking and also they have different consonants and also nas bent the word to make it sound similar or in this case exactly the same.

with perfect rhyming u have to have the same syllable sound and the same consonants and with slant rhyming u have to have similar consonants.

Notice I never even discussed the breakdown or meaning of the lyrics. I'm talking about the technique. You think Nas is wack. I get it. What I don't get is what exactly are you arguing. All I said was one was more complex, not necessarily meaning better.
We are arguing that you think average technique and shytty meanings (or nonsensical) lyrics are somehow advanced. Its not that I dont like naS, yes I think he is wack as fukk for all the reasons I discuss here, but its that clowns give this nikka all this credit for shyt that other nikkaz do much better. nikkaz gon like who they like, I dont give a fukk. But dont piss on my leg and tell me its raining...

and the point is, while youre trying to show some sort of technique, anyone can show technique when what theyre saying doesnt have to make any fukkin sense. I can write, "I'm takin you to Glass-go through paps loke" but since it doesnt make fukkin sense I should get credit for that shyt...

If you think Nas is wack, what are you arguing? No matter what I post, you're not going to agree either way. I'm not going through his whole catalog of verses that you think are wack anyway.

I didn't imply it that way. I think I've posted in this thread that I think Nas and Pac both took similar approaches to lyricism and that in a lot ways I think they are equal, but Nas is more complex. It was something to that effect. Both Pac and Nas are in my Top 5.

I will admit that my understanding of slant rhyming is lacking.

Dawg, you could try posting something that Pac didnt do... since that was the premise of this thread. If you cant do it, you should just admit you were mistaken and that at the very least Pac was as technical as naS. I have already thrown your examples in the bushes. I dont have to like what you post, I also dont like much Tech 9, but I can recognize his skills. I dont like naS, but I can recognize he pens great stories (except Rewind, that shyt was garbo).

I do like Pac, think hes the GOAT, but unlike naS stans Im not going to sit here and say the nikka is a better lyricist than Lupe. The problem is naS stans confuse shyt they like with shyt thats actually technically or lyrically good. Its like yall nikkaz exist to suck that nikkaz dikk before anything else.
