Jay-Z is the most creative/clever type of lyricist

[Anti-Anime]

lupe took that style and accelerated it to lightspeed

jay is still moving at voyager II speeds

 

[No1]

I don't put a differentiation between book smart and street smart...If you're smart, you're smart. If you're well trained and well read, you're well trained and well read.
I'm a hood nikka who reads books. I think Hov is unimpressive but dope in his "light" way.
Dude dips his feet in the water of full out "killing it" too much for me.

So who is a dope lyricist to you?

 

[CrimsonTider]

Lupe holds that crown.

Jay nice tho.

Nas Won

not read through this thread but im pretty sure this award goes to Nas... not taking anything away from jay-z as he still has good albums and songs but plenty more rappers more creative / clever than jay too...

No Lupe is probably the most clever and creative jay isn't far behind though.

fukk the system/ At Lady Justice I blaze nine/ Your Honor, I no longer kill my people/ I raise mine/ The soul of Mumia in this modern day time.” Dope man one of his most underrated songs.

I’m from the place where the church is the flakiest and nikkas been praying to God so long that they atheist.”

I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them/ I jack, I rob, I sin/ Awww man, I’m Jackie Robinson/ Except when I run base, I dodge the pen. (My favorite)

Dude is part of the Holy Trinity of rap right next to Nas and Eminem

yup

Lupe is a try hard, he is purposely trying to be super clever as gimmick

Nas is the Anti version of what the OP is trying to explain. As is also not clever whatsoever. He almost has a bloviated way of rapping that is no where near as effective as what Jay does in the context of this topic

Both Lupe and Nas aren't biters like yo boy Jay

In my younger years I didn't understand the complexity of reasonable doubt it wasn't till about 01 after the blueprint dropped that I went back and understood it on every level. That's when I realized he really was the best to ever do it.

That higher learning got that remy in me ....



You choose.........

Levels

Monster of the double entendre

Both Lupe and Nas aren't biters like yo boy Jay

and they are both whacker and only make music to appease message board hiphop nerds

They make music to appease themselves.

Yo boy Jay on the other hand went from riding Biggie to Kanye and looking like he might be on Kendrick now.

@ODOT META just in case you missed his post. I'd also like to hear your rhymes

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

It's creative, but light/shallow wordplay at the end of the day.Jr high/high school, you're like


But then you get past it.5-10 years later, you look back on it like

Get a quick lil chuckle...and keep it moving

Gotta love the coli where peeps are lyrical goats and people got mix tapes better than Jay's whole catalogue on their computer

 

[Pifferry]

"My worst color is light green, my favorite hue is Jay Z Blue (as in The Blueprint and the hue he had for that jeep he had named after him)"

 

[wingstop]

You tryna dog me on the low w/ that, I feel you. Hov is your favorite guy. I think he's dope, just not super amazing.

Oh, and here
