Which is why you care about 'lyricism' and are into psuedo deep rappers that don't say shyt. Dudes who are just as dumb and vapid as the mumble rappers.
Bars are for toddlers. Meaningless shyts.
Rhymes are about being poetic. Great rhymes read great on paper because they're
a) clear.
b) paint vivid images.
Part A: If a rhyme isn't specific and clear it's shyt. Being vague in poetry is corny and meaningless. It's a sign that the writer doesn't really know what he/she is talking about.
Part B: If you're not painting a vivid image, your rhyme is either cliche or outright trash. If you're not painting an image at all, your rhyme is trash. If you're painting an image we've already seen before, and your shyt is basically replica, then your image is not vivid. And therefore falls into the 'cliche' category. Perfect example of this is when certain West Coast trash rappers (all Interscope babies
) lean on the "Brenda's got a baby" image (which actually isn't even that original - Melle Mel spit that shyt first, way back*). shyt is beyond cliche at this point.
NO ONE in the new era spits great rhymes. I know you're angry but I'm not a rapper nor your father
"And when you see me next time maybe we can further discuss
How my dope posts give you a visual..."

If you don't know yourself, how can you appreciate this?
I can tell you how it happened
*Melle Mel on New York, New York (1983):
Nine months later, the baby is there
And the nikka that did it said, “I don’t care!”
You don’t have enough money to help feed two
So you have to choose between the baby and you
The sky was cryin’, rain and hail
When you put yo’ baby in the garbage pail
Then you kissed the kid and put down the lid
And you tried to forget what you just did, huh
The muffled screams of a dying baby
Was enough to drive the young mother crazy
So she ran in the rain tryin’ to ease the pain
Huh huh, and she drove herself insane

His forced rhymes are corny as fukk and come nowhere near as close as 6 Lord's
