:comeon: speed rapping =/= mumbling

Hell yeah.. let’s define mumbling technically, it’s rapping fast/slow and changing the tone of your voice so it’s almost hard to understand what you’re saying. It also consists of bending words to rhyme that don’t rhyme using diffenrt pronunciation.

this mumble shyt didn’t just start in the 10s

I'll say this. I liked their earlier stuff because they were technically proficient lyricists under all the layers of trap sound which is harder to do than it sounds. I mean to have somewhat complicated rhymes schemes over beats which leave little room for error. The new stuff is definitely a few steps back.

You can rap fast or slow and still emphasize your syllables enough to be understandable. Changing the pronunciation of a word isn't mumbling, this assumes all pronunciation changes involves mushing syllables together.
If y'all wanna say Migos don't mumble that's one thing. Saying BTNH and especially Twista mumbled to try and make things equivalent is another. They weren't mumbling.

Because Migos outlived the stage where everyone used and abused their style only to become bigger and better

Das EFX is a disrespectful comparison. They didn't change the game with their flow. Their run was shorter than a midget on his back.

Das EFF like some one hit wonders.

Migos don’t have any competition. I actually like some of their shyt but they’re only still around by default

Keep your .2 your .2 and I’ll keep mine

Bone welcomed the comparisons to Migos...

Those nikkas were mumbling and rhyming their assess off doing it.

Mystikal is another artist who perfected it..

You can be lyrical and mumble. The assumption here, and other places you have to do one or the other which is false.

I didn't mention anyone's lyrical ability one time. Just about pronouncing words. Bones can welcome comparisons all they like they're probably not lurking message boards to check if nikkas think they or Migos mumble. But Bones weren't mumble rappers.

That maybe, but their run is undeniable. Out of all these new age Rappers they're the only ones I can stomach. Only other new rappers I'm listening to is Baton Rouge. Das EFX was in the 90's and their run was still short. They some Skee-Lo wish I was little bit taller ass nikkas.
