What exactly is a lyrical miracle?

[SunZoo]

No sense of making music? Examples

Hospin comes to mind

I don't even know who that is

This is what irks me when these discussions come up...now is Hopsin a rapper with a lot of musicality? No, but 'no sense of making music?' I wouldn't say that. His content is not something that is going to be palatable to a lot of casual fans but he doesn't completely disregard music for his words, he can flow, he CAN make the same type of music that's out now and popular yet he would rather parody it because that's just what he's on. People start calling this stuff based on bias without really examining INTENT.

Take Poet Laurette for example:


His INTENT was to create an endless stream of rhymes, the beat isn't horrible but the musicality is really an after thought because his passion is in the poetry. He has better songs along the same lines but in general, Canibus is one of those guys that isn't really inclined to put that much effort toward the musicality. Rap as an art form pre-dates Hip Hop culture and rap music and can be expressed on it's own merits. You want proof of that, it's a whole industry of rappers making more money off of their rhymes than some of the guys on the radio and they don't even rap to beats. So you can still appreciate a guy like Canibus if you love the art of RAP more so than the genre of music that utilizes it, if that makes sense.

According to many on the coli this was real prevalent in the 90s. Hip hop was being ruined in the 90s?

Kurupt on some prime, big budget Lyrical Miracle shyt.



It's the incredible, the lyrical, you can be me like neecee
To see me, it's gonna take a miracle

Verbally vindictive, violent vocabulary vibes to existence

If there was a dictionary definition for the term I figured Lupe Fiasco, Rass Kass, and Canibus would be on the picture under it

I always thought nikkas that used it were talking about emcees that rapped a bunch of big words without saying nothing.

I can't say any of those cats belong in that category.

I mean it ain’t really a “miracle” if you sound stupid Rhyming

A Lyrical Miracle rapper is one that goes out of they way to sound technical and complex with their rhymes even though they don't make any sense.

For example, about 35%-40% of Canibus songs is lyrical miracle shyt.

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.

AFRO def comes off that way to me

 

[GreenGhxst]

The term people use for really good rappers, who lack on the artistic side of the game
