When has being lyrical ever been a requirement in hiphop???

Did I miss that era?

I see so many of you over analyzing songs and rapper by saying they don't any have complicated lyrics and shyt.

real talk....why are you so bitter about everything you deem "Old School" ? You make these threads chipping away at the topic, sounding like a little bytch. You probably think "Lyrical" means listening to scrubs like Joe Buddens and Lupe Fiasco anyways...

If not for that we'd be stuck with Bom-ma-bom, a-bom-bom-a-bom, ba-ba-bom-bom-a-bomp,. b-dang-a-dang

Oh yeah one fukking star

It never was. There have been a lot of artists that have blown up that weren't lyrical. They even had longevity with it. There's also been rappers that were "lyrical" that didn't hit big. People misuse lyrical just to use it as rhetoric to romanticize their favorite artists or era. For example, I've seen people dismiss a certain rapper by saying "(insert random 'non-lyrical rapper') isn't lyrical and would've never survived in the 90's"
