When did being a good lyricist with bars become a sin in Hip Hop?

Cause nikkas love fukkery, and lyrical rappers care more about lyrics and art than fukkery

non lyrical rappers make up for it by ODing on fukkery

Imagine hearing Young Thug, OJ da Juiceman, or Future rapping on "Paid in Full" beat in a BET Cypher?

Force them to do that and force them to spit bars. That will expose them to the world of what they really are.

People already make excuses like "dusty nikkas rap" in Rap music

 

[MouseTeeth]

but literally the only dudes selling actual records (J Cole, Drake, and Kendrick) are the lyrical ones, so go figure

don't let the redundant metro boomin beats your local club dj plays fool u....that shyt is cool when ppl r out partyin but at the end of the day ppl arent buyin it

Because most people who listen to so-called Hip-Hop music since about the early 2000's arent actual fans off the music or culture at all, I've come to realize.

They listen to it because its the de facto youth music off the times. Especially a lot of Black kids who just listen to it, because they think this is what they are suppose to listen to.

So artists who actually exhibit what an emcee is, will never get love from these types. Until big corporation tells them to.

The biggest rapper in the game just dropped this on his latest project. As others has said this thread is super off base

A lot of these new nikkaz do got bars tho...

I think the game shiftin' toward a more melody-flow based focus than a lyrical one...

N its not bad... imagine the day a rapper with young thugs perfect organic flows n a 2000 eminems lyricism emerges

Young Thug mumbling for 4 bars and then randomly singing hooks and screaming adlibs till he passes it along to Future like

Future then spit some writtens from Cee-Lo for 8 bars and then go @ the beat cause no snares, 808s, or autotune to help him

 

[Nobodyknows]

Y'all some clowns? Whats not lyrical about this song? Every damn line is a metaphor

You say that like metaphors are the only way to be lyrical
