By one-dimensional I mean they very rarely deviate from one mundane topic that doesn't have a lot of depth or nuance, but they're just great at it.

Some names that come to mind...

Prodigy-Murder and robbery

Sean Price-Shooting, stabbing, beating people up.

Pusha T/Malice-Coke and balling

Rick Ross-Coke and balling

Redman-How high he gets, how much weed he smokes, and that crazy space shyt that don't even make no sense

Curren$y-Weed, women, and cars

Drake-Being a bytch ass nikka

Drake isn't one dimensional :ufdup: Out of that list I'd go with the gawd P:blessed: Add Raekwon-Pyrex visions :lolbron:

Yeah I'd go with P too, even though I don't really fukk with his solo work too much.

Prodigy from 95-99 was a fukking genius even though all he talked about was killing people. He was so descriptive and dark...on some rap Edgar Allen Poe/Sylvia Plath type shyt.

Canibus was a monster when he first came onto the scene, but he tried to adjust his style too much to try and get a greater appeal.

Come to think about it you're right, P probably is the GOAT one dimensional rapper. He really had the presence of a grimy street killer on the mic, everything down to his voice was so macabre. Made every line he said sound even more ill.

not to mention that, whenever he tried to step out of that box (Like that song with 112) he was horrible :scusthov:

Jadakiss EASILY. nikka is still dope as fukk, but NEVER changes his delivery. Every single Jadakiss verse EVER had the same exact delivery every single bar.


this is the only song he ever switched his flow on that I can remember.


styles is another candidate.

You gotta consider Redman too though. Dude dropped a masterpiece album (Dare Iz a Darkside) that was a full 68 minutes of just getting high and saying crazy shyt.

He has a formidable discography and considered a legend without ever really rapping about anything, just slapstick humor and creative lyrical braggadocio.
