raekwon never fell off lyrically, right?

[bigbadbossup2012]

Does anyone else agree with this?

Bias behavior won't allow it

 

[SirBiatch]

the title of the thread assumes the premise that Raekwon is a lyrically gifted emcee, so you already knew what the thread was and who it was for.

but you chose to come in and be a contrarian in the very first reply

I understand why you were in the "guns over fists" thread defending shooting nikkas at the sign of a percieved threat. You're an instigator.

He rushes into every Wu/Nas thread. even at 2 in the morning. Must have some kinda Google alert or some shyt

He's never fell off lyrically, musically he's horrible tho. It's not even that the beats he picks are bad, he just clashes with them. NEVER let him spearhead a project.

Rae has always been dope he's the master of going back to a collab later and realizing he dusted cats (ie killed Big Boi and 3 stacks on skew it on the bar b)

You're right. There's been quite a few tracks that I have revisited after I first listened and I realized Rae killed the other person(s) on it.

hes been spitting with the exact same style for 24 years.....

can yall ever imagine Rae simplifying his shyt and making 2Chains/French montana type shyt? speaking non wu-tang english? shyt wouldnt make no sense to me.

 

[AFRAM GLORY]

Lyrically he has regressed slightly sharpened his flow and I consider his flow to be flawless.

I swear the coli is one of the only sites that actively disrespects legends and gets props about it, especially legends that don't really actually fall off. It's weird. Raekwon is still elite til this day. I can see if this was Canibus or something

He was always pretty cool and gangsta to me, i just heard this song on a madlib remix and he fukking killed it

My nikkas won't stop til we straight, select bigger gates
We won't stop until we buyin' estate, yo
Pull out them burners and front, where I'm from
Better shoot something, if not, nikkas won't salute nothing

The year's 1990, everybody grimey
Crack was what's in it, the vehicles was 1-90's
Young shorties be gettin' their bread, haunted by Jamaicans
Them nikkas had their corners on red
Map the laws, runnin' cards, playin' bars
Mask the coke in the cars, twist the gan', mad, crackin' cigars
Smokin' through Queens, bytches stealin' Guess jeans
Get the scope on our stars, little did we know, we folow they dreams
Now we get around in live limosines, flash stacks in cuisines
Combat, get to smackin' the fiends, just max for a minute and lean
All the shyt for the moment, slick omens, my opponents would scheme
We were shot downtown, hit trains, buy cables and remain
The illest villains, walkin' in spots
Playin' the corners, baby, vision or not
Said yo, and when it's on, we gon' rep and rock, nobody call the cops

It just makes me feel like i'm in NY

So a nikkas from a platinum plus click, with s couple gold solo albums,is a legend. nikka was and never will be anything special

I don't even think I mentioned platinum nor gold when describing him as an elite artist, but besides those weak Immobilarity and Lex Diamond Theory albums, everything Raekwon had has pretty much been A1. OB4CL2 was a great sequel that comes as close to the original as any album could, and Shaolin vs Wu-Tang was dope itself. Add in dope guest spots on various people's stuff, I don't see what isn't special about him. Hell, I think he even had two pretty nice mixtapes between 2010-2011. If he is "nothing special", please list some artists you think are.

EDIT: Cocainism 2, Lost Jewlry, and Unexpected Victory were dope tapes, so 2010-2013
