What exactly is a lyrical miracle?

[Complexion]

A walking thesaurus talking who sticks words together that rhyme but have no impact.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

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

I just get a little confused becuz the coli makes it seem like a whole generation of rapper were "lyrical miracle"

 

[BmoreGorilla]

A rap that is full of big words binded together that usually doesn't make any sense. Dudes like Keith Murray, Kurupt and Chino XL have used this style pretty often in the past.

I could see Keith Murray being described as this


Jeru also comes to mind

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

It's often used in the same way, just in a different direction.

A lot of nikkas get classified as 'mumble rappers' even when they enunciate clearly just because old nikkas don't like their style or the fact that they have run with a more abstract/less complex style of rhyme.

I see 'lyrical miracle' used to describe and categorize rappers all the time, it's just that it's not always completely appropriate to label them as such just because their approach is more focused on lyrical display.

Being lyrical =/= to being lyrical miracle. Dudes like GZA, Nas and Inspectah Deck are lyrical but their rhymes are usually very comprehensible and not just a bunch of polysyllabic words that rhyme that are put together. A lot of people are getting it confused.

I honestly feel like Keith Murray is one of those guys the term was kind of invented for, like that shyt came into existence around the time he was poppin.

And it wasn't even a diss more than it was an acknowledgement that he was doing more stream of consciousness with the word play, that was kind of his niche and is what made him dope/stand out.

I wouldn't put Jeru in that niche, even though he's complex he's not just styling and putting words together for fun. More often than not there is a chain being formed from one bar to the next if not through out the song. In the common context though nikkas would put him in that category on some clown shyt because it's more so about disparaging lyrical rappers to a lot of people who throw that term around.

Basically a rapper who can rap but has no sense of making music

 

[No Homo]

Rhyming words just to rhyme and sound like they are saying something.

Usually sounds better than it actually is and are saying not a damn thing

 

[SunZoo]

I fukk with that, but I would call it 'lyrical miracle' if that's the lingo we gonna use, but not as a diss. That's just his overall style, I don't want every MC to do this and if they do, maybe sparingly, but it has it's place. Nah not for 'vibes' but something like this makes me want to write rhymes myself.

Oh so basically rhyming for the sake of riddling

No sense of making music? Examples

A lot of Wu tang songs are lyrical miracle songs. Remember they were dustheads and a lot of the time they didn't even know what they were saying
