This term get thrown around a lot on the coli. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what makes a miracle lyrical rapper

Thoughts :jbhmm:

A term people use to disparage a certain style of rap when, usually one that is based on multis and intricate rhymes. If you use that term on the reg you are 9/10 a dikkhead.

Usually a rapper that is a good technical rapper but has terrible beats, hooks and charisma

It’s your standard underground rapper

It’s definitely deserves to be a point of criticism because lyrical miracle rappers are often showing disdain for rappers that are successful

It's the flip side of 'mumble rap' and how some rappers who just aren't of your taste or who aren't that complex get classified there unfairly. There are actual mumble rappers out there. Just like there are rappers that go all the way left with just rhyming words.

But more often than not, people who resort to 'lyrical miracle' are doing so to prop up commercial acts and stretchthe definition to include anybody who is more about the poetic aspect of rap.

People will call Pharoah Monch "lyrical miracle'. The first time I heard that term it came from other lyricists making fun of nikkas just using rhyming dictionaries to come up with things to say. It was a much more valid point of criticism when it was coming from THOSE guys and not casuals.

People will call Pharoah Monch "lyrical miracle'. shyt that term came from other lyricists making fun of nikkas just using rhyming dictionaries to come up with things to say. It was a much more valid form of criticism when it was coming from THOSE guys and not casuals who never wrote a fukking rhyme before.
It’s not the opposite of mumble rap

Mumble rap is a prevalent insult used by old heads to hate on rap they don’t like

“ lyrical miracle” is rarely used to describe a rapper
