Can we talk about how stupid URL style descriptions are? Half the time it does not apply to the person, and it is otherwise so general that it probably applies to every battle rapper. Like MyVerse is "lyrical" but Bonnie has the talent to "scheme." What the fukk does that mean? Scheming is part of lyricism. What the fukk is "technical?" And how is that not part of being a dope lyricist? I just had to rant because that shyt is stupid. EIther be very specific or don't bring it up at all because you have all these guys with similar attributes being described in different ways for no reason.

They are pretty dumb but it's something they have done from day one. Fans get used to stuff like that, another example of that is Beasley's voice. It's comical sounding, but everyone is used to it at this point. Changing it won't make the battles any better, or attract any new fans.

I know, it's just a pet peeve. They could switch up how it's done. Beasley's epic voice is funny as well.
