I think my bias favors the conceptual artists and songs but yeah technical creativity is something to note too
Possibly me too, but even better when it's together, a KRS-One, K-Rino or Last Emperor for example can combine that and create some really great high calibre work. Sometimes it can separate true artists from someone just rapping bars. I don't like it when someone's just talking shyt over and over again and there's no concepts or nothing creative ever, it just feels lazy and throwaway, or if it's a very simplistic stupid metaphor that don't count either, has to be something that's made for the sake of art and creativity not just bullshyt to get away with saying implying something explicit on radio or whatever.

Biggie was dope cause he told stories in an interesting way, I Got A Story To Tell, Warning, Gimmie The Loot etc. Slick Rick also very creative, he actually had a song about being a slave and trying not to get killed by his slavemaster by entertaining them with spitting with Who Rotten Em, had never heard anything like that prior. He also brings is with the flavour and delivery too which is creative plus the concepts so he's a highly creative artist, really enjoy listening to Rick.

lmao at K-Rino being creative with his hand-me-down KRS bars :mjlol:

OP, I'm still waiting on your definition with receipts. Or this thread will turn into "slurp my favorite rapper" thread. I'm sure some Lloyd Banks stan has already negged you for calling him uncreative. Someone will run in here talking about "Future Christ da most creative" or ramble about Thugga's "melodies" as the hallmark of creativity. :russell:

You really are an idiot, K-Rino has proved his creativity time and time again with mad concepts, creative ones, stories, all sorts, it's undeniable, would post songs but you'd duck and deflect cause you know you're mindlessly trolling. Or maybe you don't know what creativity is since you think ASAP and Lil B are the best artists around....

I think it's a fine line. I don't want to see MOP doing anything other than what MOP does.

It depends. A lot of times "creativity" in rap manifests as creative visuals or fashion. Creativity in terms of writing, perspective, song structure, beat selection is much more rare

Experimentation is always refreshing but sometimes it gets taken too far if the artist is completely losing track of their identity and original appeal
