What are the best examples of "Struggle Bars"?

[Farrinto]

"They call me Stan Still, cause I buck and just stand still"

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

 

[Farrinto]

"This is my belief, my philosophy, geography, ecology, biology, psychology" - Nore

He was just rhyming random words with no fukks given

 

[HE_Pennypacker]

I remember some Pap line that went "My cousin is Bud/ He drink Budweiser and guzzle the suds/ I guess you say we wiser than a couple of buds". I think that same verse had a bar about leaving someone "nothin but nubs":smartenupnas:.

I think it was on Spot's first mixtape.

I think it's "my cousin drink Budweiser and guzzle the suds/he'll still tell you I'm wiser than a couple of buds/love and hate, don't let em tell you it's nothing but love/nikkas'll blow your arms off and leave you nothin but nubs"

I heard it on a track he did with Mike Jones way back when

"I'll give you a seizure (Caesar) like the barber shop" Papoose


man, i was literally crying laughing off of this shyt, wtf?

LMAOOOO NYC Drama. The track's kinda hard but so many struggle bars:

"they always tryna get in front of outsider and talk reckless/
that's why I check nikkas like messages"

"I like to squeeze and rob a lot/
when I squeeze I be givin nikkas more seizures than fukking barbershops"


The part that used to get my hyped in this track when I was like 15 was the
"gun in my lap in the truck with rims
put the pedal to the metal with construction timbs
but my legs feel too cramped up to bend
cause the 9 stay between em like one through ten"

I got her, nikka...


































































...grocery bag

I legit laughed out loudperfect execution

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Over 15 years later and I still don't know wtf Silk was talkin bout. nikka said

"I be seeing shyt that ain't there, it ain't there but I be seeing shyt, I be in places without being seen there but being seen in places without even being there."

"It got me noid, it got me noid, it got me noid.....but I ain't paranoid.

Most of these lines are from that 2005 freestyle with Stack and JR Writer

"I see ya nipples through your shirt girl, aww sooky, they pointy like the champion sweaters, the good hoodies"

"They Know I Stay With The Strap Like Parts Spelled Backwards"

"I was young until my balls dropped like I had butter fingers"

"I'm a ex-boxer (Xbox-er) but I have PS3"

"I'm a cannibal, but not really 'cause I don't eat people/ I eat chicken and salads and other things of that nature/"

"I'm ill like someone who is sick or is not feeling well"

'pap got the property in hand
i'm like aaron how i cop land
and if you don't know who aaron copland is
he's a brilliant classical composer
with an extensive catalog of beautiful music
that is most likely available for rental at your local public library"

wtf doggie

[FappleMeOff]

Delivery & Flow aren't being taken into account when naming off some of these "struggle bars"

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

"i'm a weight watcher cuz i got weight to watch" -papoose

he's got a million of em

Honestly most rappers that rely on punchlines end up having the same fate when they run out of steam

Whoa




That line legit has me

It's like it's so bad it's quotable and yet somehow someway did a complete 180 and became good.

I'm just gonna sit my ass down and reflect on what the hell just happened

 

[HiiiPower]

Rappers living the 16 bar struggle:


Nick Cannon - Embodies this trope.

Lil' Wayne - Same as above, gets away with it however.

Papoose - Has/had a website dedicated to them, somewhat embodies the idea at times however is known to go off when he's ready.

E40 - euiohyfpeidfhei

Chino XL - has lyrics, but trying to stick a billion syllables into one bar is a struggle for the rapper and the listener.

Crooked I is also very guilty of this

 

[Archimedes]

90% of the rappers the Alchemist has featured on his tracks

"Technical electrical frenetic eclectic pace, electric space race with the cosmic cosmonaut, calling all coppers, pop a pill popper at the opera, slide out the theatre like the night rider, your bytch bad I might ride her"

"Celestial third eye with the transgendered robo-ray, you nikkas homo, gay, rapping on tracks with the Alchemist, tetrahedrons reflect Neptunian gamma rays, waves spinning like chrome rims, robotic ghetto phantom lamping in chrome Timbs"

"Break through like Pink Floyds rhymin' hymen, five timed'em just to out rhyme'em, leave whack rappers tongue tied, I done flung guys sky high with the rocket nozzle, suppository stories leave tories gory, fukk'em young like statutory, all glory praise due to Allah, I'm about my bread like challah"

 

[BasedHead]

"See I'm the best mayne, I deed it."

*5 minute silent struggle stare*

GOAT LINE, i really mean it.

 

[BasedHead]

Brothers in jail going thru hell
Sisters on the corner selling fruit cocktail

Y'all all mad ass like Sadaam spelled backward

and when Papoose explains his punchline/bars straight after spitting them.
