it's a myth that Banks is/was a punchline rapper.

cassidy's punches were always simple and basic, as are the rest of his bars.


Fabolous >>>>>>>>>>, by far. a lot of fabs punches are actually good, well they were, i don't know what the f*ck that n!gga is on now, i don't check for him no more. his punches were slick AND he was spitting them while rhyming them with the last 4 or 5 words in the previous bars. n!gga was nice


if anything fab punchlines were basic he was more of a metaphor guy in all reality and cassidy in his prime was a monster with punchlines

and his prime to me just to be clear was 02-04

and fab never rhymed his last 4 words with the other pervious bar

im gonna make a thread on that.

and banks was a monster with punchlines u clearly and obviously sniffing that yayo and trolling.

i think Lupe is the best ever with the entendres and phors and all that fly sh!t...he's just so f*cking smart and advanced with it that pigeon-brained f*ckboys don't even realize what they're hearing, they just sit there with a stupid look on they stupid face because they don't understand what he's talking about. cats would rather hear struggle Phors and kindergarten Punches from banks and the like.

Budden and Banks were nasty with it in their times but they went away from it. Id have to say JR writer was the best at it during his little run from 04-07 but even he has went away from it (something I would never imagine). Fab is the only person that was crazy with it years ago, and still is crazy with it now and It doesnt sound corny

It's an insult imo to even classify what Lu does, or used to do, with words as punchlines, breh. Fahrenheit 1/15 Lu imo is easily the greatest at wordplay/metaphors ever. His rare tracks back when he used to sound like a Jay-Z clone are piff personified.

Re Up Gang was going ham with the punchlines on the WGIFC tapes too.

But when it comes to traditional punchlines (set up then punch, usually no longer than a couple bars) Budden is the best I've seen.




That Six Minutes of Death? :wow: Dumbout? :damn:

shyt got me about to go listen to his old shyt with Clue on youtube. His tracks with Stack Bundles :whew:
