The thing is, people don't understand the Technical Skill these boys have. You are not a true student of hip hop if you do not acknowledge that. These boys lyrically are delivering Early 2000 Harlem/Dipset quality bars as in their go for punch lines and mix that with a very technical rap style. As they mature they tweak their style to make it even harder to bite. If you listen to YRN tape they laid the blueprint to the flow (which is inspired by the likes of Memphis rappers) but if you compare the YRN tape to this tape they made the flow much more technical as they are using crazy cadences AND sped up the flow. You a damn fool if you say these boys can't rap. They aren't story tellers, they simply give you technical flows and punchlines, THAT IS HIP HOP.

i ain't surprised at all :russ:

here's the thing, i'm all for movin' the genre forward with new music, if it's actually great or good. i aint one of them old heads who stuck in the past. i'm like this, if it's new and it's great or good, cool. if it's new and wack, fukk outta here with that bullshyt :camby:

i respect them for how they hustle and their ability to know what works for them because it's evident they got an audience with the radios spins and money they gettin' for their shows but i still think their music is horrible :yeshrug:

I fukk with Migos, but yall be gassing them. They play their part and yes, their flow/cadence is innovative/interesting, but let's not go overboard

This. I don't think they're terrible but people are talking about their bars/flow like it's some next level shyt.

Q-Tip liking them is :yeshrug: the man made "Breathe And Stop", I don't even know why these fake ass "back packers" are tripping. Dude ain't been their poster child for damn near 15 years. Then again most of them probably weren't into rap 15 years ago so :manny:

Na , i just speak the truth that no1 wanna hear

Thats y i get negative responses

You "speak" out the side of your ass...that's why you get negative responses. It's crazy how many times I've tried to neg you, not realizing who it was until it said I had to spread rep around :snoop:

If the secret ingredient on the greatest rap album of all time (Mobb Deep's The Infamous :wow:) likes them, I guess I'll have to suppress that urge to throw a brick through my TV (that I got when I saw that wack ass Versace video) and give them a shot :yeshrug:

they are though.

They have the whole spliced in ad-lib thing going and the extended metaphors that aren't like innately or directly linked within the song.

they have a very slang/lingo/colloquial quality to them that lets them talk slick but still get their point across...its Camron at its best.

I tried to get into them, but I couldn't

Where should my entry point be? Other than Versace, what's their signature song? :ld:
