Jadakiss is as lyrical you can be while still making sense.

Rappity rap shyt can get you far just take a look at j snore :mjpls:


Now if you want to transcend that you'd be entering the realm of brilliant writers like nas, jigga, lupe, doom, Jay erectcockinya, and others

None if those writers you listed are better than Jada.

Nas is in the doesn't make sense category basically. Just says whatever he feels like.

Jay.. He's good but doesn't try to be ultra lyrical

Lupe/doom.... I don't listen to dweebs


Jay Elec is hard to judge but even hes not ultra lyrical, has His own style though.

All that ultra lyrics shyt goes out the window once you start having to actually have. a point.

Look at Earl Sweatshirt , all that 'pair of lips, sheriffs whips ' shyt went away once he started getting personal.

Anyone can make a buncha shyt rhyme if its barely related.


I got a pair of wolves,

Do you dare to move

She's my heir n' boo

It's not fair to do


^^^ I just made that up off the dome.

If the lines don't have to relate to each other, than anyone can do it.


That's why Jadakiss is one of the greats. Hes lyrical, but makes sense.

You're speaking to the fact that people use the "lyricist" label very broadly. Jadakiss is a great punch line lyricist and sometimes a great storyteller, he's not the greatest of poets or songwriters or concept writers though.

They're different skills, what's impressive is when they're mixed together. When you got the hard hitting street lyricism and the poetic language to take it in different directions it's something else... Most people come off corny when they try to do it though.

Did you read the op? Nas is lyrical but doesn't make sense from one line to the next. There's no cohesion

what the fukk are you talking about? :dahell: Only time anything should be completely cohesive is in storytelling or some kind of concept

Check out the time is illmatic. Thread, it's what im talking about one line has nothing to do with next, just random rhyming.

Since when has Nas rhymed like that anyway? IWW? He's evolved so much as an artist since illmatic

Aaahhaa! Jada kiss is a best I still don't know his buzz in LA ain't like it is in NY:yeshrug:
But he is a beast definitely top 5 doa in NY without even thinking.

And he does make sense in his lyrics.
But with Jay, Fab, biggie ( Brooklyn ):salute:they take step further and weave a theme through out the verses or will mention something in first verse and will tie it back in later. Levels to this sh!t. That takes a lot more work especially if when you consider Jay and big don't or didn't write anything down:mindblown:
