Tell me stories about your life, or the lives of others. I don't care if you lie, just make them good.

All about phrasing breh. Dilla could talk about bytches and escalades, but his rhythms and key signatures make it jazzy and experimental.

Slick Rick's Ladi Dadi's about having fun at a party, and some hood chicks. Homeboy Sandman raps about walking down the street, hipsters, and how America's not that bad. And who knows what the fukk MF DOOM is talking about. Same thing. I'm not 100% behind any guy's subject matter, but they have unique flows and original cadences so I fuqqs with them.


But this is my #1 all time

1991, untouchable flows, talking about alpha centauri quasars, brass palaces, UFOs
:blessed: :cape:

just talkin' about everyday life, same album

Wisdom. I'm from the burbs and I just rather hear about overcoming or feeling lost, what it took to make it to the top.

Normal application ish. Its about time for the set claiming, what block I bang for, hoes money drugs ish to stop. Way too oversaturated.

Reality over fantasy.

People say "whatever they want" but there's a reason no trap club song with conscious political lyrics has made it on the charts.

Subconciously people go for the lowest common denominator of tropes because that's what they're most comfortable with.

You're going to listen to "spending racks, spliffing grass, I'm saying absolutely nothing in these lyrics because these are just familiar shallow terms that are used as background filler for your mind"


faster than

"killing cacs, dump their bodies in the trash, pale skins gotta go - - fast before more blacks are trapped, with no leniency, destroy cac supremacy".

Just be interesting.

Also, rhyme about what really goes on in these record labels and put rich folk on blast. I find it interesting how Jayz came up snitching on his activities. Naming names. Giving you a real diary of the streets. But now that he's in the boardroom, we're not privy to that world. nikka's rapping about art collections and shyt like it really matters
