I fukk with lyrics above all but lyrics for the sake of lyrics is just tired at this point. Gotta mix it up.

That Tech N9Ne style of rapping fast that every dude who use to have a reverbnation account or signed to Funk Volume rips off is even worse. Only a few rappers are actually great at it and they became household names for a reason

I grew up listenin to ''lyrical'' rappers like Em, Grafh, Crooked I, etc... n used to write and rap myself as a teen

But very few of this rappers got any replay value in their music...

Honestly surprising, wouldn’t have thought this would be his take.

“I’ve studied the remains of the game like an archeologist”

one of his own bars. :skip:

People are drawn to what’s foreign to them, in almost all facets of life…good girls like bad guys, dweebs are fascinated by gangsta shh, dark skinned people usually are into light skinned people, introverts usually marry extroverts, etc…speaking generally. Yin & Yang type shh. Lupe is the same I think, he says he loves a lot of the rap that his fans despise lol

Most them nikkas say this to not pigeonhole themselves…. Once you go alllll in on the “I’m a lyricist and that’s all I wanna hear” shyt you’re cooked
This part

nikka listens to everything

And it's normal for people to not listen to the same type of shyt that they make, can fukk up the process if you're subconsciously copying what you've been listening to all day

A nikka tell yall some shyt out his own mouth and yall come up with every theory under the sun as to why he said it. I guess him telling the truth is not an option lol. The fukk wrong with you nikkas. He said he don’t really listen to his style of music and I’m pretty sure he’s being honest. Do yall think conscious rappers only listen to conscious rap? Do yall think street rappers only listen to street rap? If you can have a diverse musical palette, then why can’t a person who is an actual music artist have one?
