nas does not match his syllables in syllable count with multis he only did that on illmatic and it was written he fell off lyrically imo.

:snoop: No he didn't. He was using syndicated syllables, NOT symmetrical syllables as your referring to.

Nas is great at storytelling and painting a vivid picture.

Still, what Lupe Fiasco did with Food & Liquor + The Cool is extraordinary.
Kendrick Lamar was applauded when he made an album long story. Lupe Fiasco did this with 2 albums AND 3-4 mixtapes. His story has several characters, plots etc.

Part 2: LUPEND: Michael Young History: The Story Of A Victim To The Streets And The Game Part 2 [A Genius Lu' Volume 43]

canibus in his prime was ok lyrically but never a top tier lyricist

and pac and biggie were lyrical in terms of complex rhyme schemes metaphors wordplay punchlines now ice cube was simple imo for example.

show me examples of Pac's metaphors wordplay and punchline, the rhyme king?

But does Nas have multi-syllabic multis that are a perfect match not just in syllable count, but in hesitated, pocketed flow delivery tempo? Just ignoring the metaphors and verbals, I'm talking purely multis down to the breath count? Remember, only multis with stochastic word count, not counting slurred or iambic pentameter multis with perfect syllable count.

:snoop: No he didn't. He was using syndicated syllables, NOT symmetrical syllables as your referring to.

Actually he wasn't using symmmetrical syllables, he was using sylllllabbblle hullaballoo.

obviously u trolling u think multis don't have to match in syllable count.

to this day... u still have no idea what a multi is... i dont have time to be trolling and i dont even exactly know what that means... all i know is i seen a thread BY YOU...asking if multis had to match in syllable count so obv u have no idea....

the point is....Canibus in his prime...IF ANYTHING...was VERY lyrical...and wayyyyyy more lyrical than Pac and Big...im not sayin better than Pac and Big... just way more lyrical...and im pretty sure thats not even disputable
