In my opinion if this doesn't interest you, I have to question how much of a hiphop fan you really are.:patrice:

This is fascinating to me. Always have been. Very dope seeing it actually talked about in-depth


Exactly. I don't really like litmus tests, but if a supposed Hip Hop fan doesn't like this video or any video similar to this, or even have the slightest interest in watching it, I question why the hell they call themselves a Hip Hop fan. They are a fake one to me IMO :manny:

Damn shame this thread doesn't have more views.

Cats just aren't interested in the intricacies of lyricism:yeshrug:
i'm a geek for this shyt in the sense that naturally listen and get it. after listening to so much rap thats just how it goes for a lot of ppl. you dont need to know all this technical shyt in order to be able to do it either.

I take it in but breaking it down is not necessary. i dont like how theyre explaining and breaking the shyt down to be frank.

maybe its the thread title thats pissing me off. while many of the rappers mentioned are goats its just rubbing me the wrong way and it doesnt help that its white folks doing it lol. Biggie is a goat....of course...but to act like Hypnotize was pushing the envelope (as sick as it is) from a technical standpoint in 96-97 is futile when nikkas like Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Lord Infamous and Gangsta Blac were flowing effortlessly on shyt like this:




shyt...the 3:45 mark onwards :ohlawd:

And that's just from one City. if you're gonna make a video like this then dig deep . Not fake deep like MF...real deep. And dont half ass it with 12 mins. This shyt deserves an hour. I'd like to see a similar vid for beat making.

whys a white bytch talkin

Yea I can honestly say I was kinda dissappointed by that too:francis:

I wish more of US was interested in this aspect of rap.


Cats have said here that they could care less about the technical aspect of rapping and that its more of a "white" thing especially when Eminem is brought up:francis:

they go hand in hand. Multisyllabic rhyming is pointless if the flow doesnt deliver it well. That's why MFDoom doesnt impress me no offense.

I mean listen to the memphis shyt i posted and then the mf doom. It's pale in comparison. Really listen lol



shyt even this simple shyt is more impressive and this was back in 93 i think :mindblown:. That second verse


fukk it i'm taking this thread over starting with this memphis shyt

i dont mind Em being brought up as he's one of the GOATs. But there were many before him that was on a similar wave of rhyming who dont get the respect they deserve and i think thats why ppl get frustrated
