Repeating the same bars consecutively is just some lazy ass sh1t

[Cheese McNair]

Time is gonna hate on Jeezy hard.

You know how people look at Soulja Boy as being the death of hip hop? That's how I look at Jeezy. When he came out with Thug Motivation, I had never heard someone so wack. I was genuinely puzzled like: "nikkaz like this shyt? these poppy beats and trash raps?" I know it sounds weird to say 'poppy' but honestly that was my impression. It was like ghetto pop. Childishly glossy beats that didn't have much groove to them, mixed with lazy "I'm a hustler" raps.

Anyway, Jeezy's got a punch of those repeat-bar rhymes. It was the style among dull "street" rappers back then.

I never thought of the beats as poppy but I can see how you came to that. I think that his rhymes were standard. Back when 50 got hot, I use to think his rhymes were okay too but my dad brought something to my attention. It's not just rhymes and beats. It's voice too. Jeezy has a different voice. Most famous rappers, seem to have a standout voice. You can point them out. A lot of local rappers that dont make it, dont have a unique sounding voice. Think how getting shot changed 50's voice from his early work. Same with Kanye and the wreck. Through the Wire with the messed up voice is a good song but Ye has been way more successful with his current voice.

My favorite example of this is Wayne

Voice is HUGE. In my opinion, it's the most important aspect of being a rapper and the hardest skill to nail. That's what I call delivery. If I can't tolerate your delivery, I'll never like your songs. Regardless of your rhymes.

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

I don't know why but I always gave mike jones a lot more leeway with shyt like this

cause it was his thing and you expected it from him. It was part of his style and no one else was really doin it at the time

now nikkas have completely run the shyt into the ground doing it for random ass lines

 

[BigF]

That "get it" shyt is the worst

"If Faye had twins,she'd probably have two packs...get it?2pac?"

Yea we got it Christopher

This was an example of it actually working well. Jay spitting his next bar overlapped beautifully. I didn't actually get the joke first time round either as I hadn't heard about Faith/Pac's affair back then.

 

[ThaRealness]

Its called being in the zone

 

[bordeaux]

"I gota whole selection, a whole collection A ho selection of my ho collection"

"Yo I be with a gang of gangs, that hang and bang

"I'm a baller baller, you ain't at all a baller"

 

[Maschine_Man]

I feel sorry for dudes paying these rappers for 16 bars and only getting 10 different bars in a feature.

I went from the pot with cocoa
To the block with cocoa
To gettin' locked, catchin' a charge
Dealin' wit the cops and cocoa
Now I'm just hot like cocoa
You can catch me on the block, being watched, in a drop
The same color as chocolate cocoa
