Damn...no one cares about lyrics, bars or being the best anymore ... IS there even a top 5 anymore?

[spliz]

nikkas talkin bout bring lyricism back and half the people in this thread can't even decide on what a fukkin lyricist is. Let's make it clear. A lyricist doesn't have to be the greatest at what they do. U don't even have to like the lyricist's work. nikkas is making this shyt a favorite rapper discussion and bringing forth clear bias. Then u got people flat out sayin dumb shyt that makes absolutely no sense. And this is supposed to be a "hip hop" board? This thread is proof to one of the reasons The Booth is the most shytty section on this forum. I wish some of u retards internet and data connection got fried so I wouldn't have to deal with such shytty posting.

Who are your top 5 lyricists of any era out of curiosity?

 

[SunZoo]

First off:

Secondly: Royce stopped being some standard of lyricism around the time Slaughterhouse was a thing....that nikkas been washed

He is of a higher standard than half the people mentioned in this thread and according to some is rapping as good or even better than he has. I can respect you disagreeing but even a "washed" by Royce by your definition is in this conversation before a fukking J Cole, or Rick Ross and you know it.

 

[SunZoo]

i dont agree with ross being a better lyricist than royce but i replied to you since you seemed surprised that people think ross puts out better projects than royce.

nikkas wear toe rings breh, def not surprised by that.

I was surprised that people brought up how much they like this or that project as apart of the process of eliminating who isn't a top 5 lyricist...

 

[blackslash]

I love Layers and SOD, but we talking about BARS nikka, Royce is a better LYRICIST than Ross, Kendrick, Gibbs, Cole and umpteen other nikkas people a throwing out there.



1. fukk that fruad.

2. The thread title is specifically talking about top 5 LYRICISTS. If I throw names like Lupe Fiasco or Elzhi out there are you telling me Ross is getting thrown in that mix before somebody like Royce?

How much you like his projects is whatever, he ain't of that ilk.

It ain't even about discrediting people for liking his music, it's about staying the fukk on topic.



I hope a fat bytch suffocates you in your sleep.

It ain't about "real hippity hop" shyt, top 5 lyricists is the conversation and Ross, Cole, Kendrick or Gibbs really shouldn't be in it, especially not ahead of 5'9, PERIOD.

Think Royse makes better music than ross, brehs

Think Royse makes better music than ross, brehs

I do, but that's not the argument here as that's more about preference and I have never been a fan of Gusto. He's competent but repetitive and is an afterthought in comparison to his production but I digress.

Who is more worthy of being called a top 5 lyricist between the two is the real question,.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

then how the fukk is he not a lyricist.

i never said he wasn't, i just said he was a low level one

Depends
whos the better lyricist
Jay or Nas

if Jay then ya I understand why u say Royce
If Nas then i dnt understand why u wouldnt say Ross

Since Ross' style of lyricism is closer to Nas'

 

[Professor Polo]

Give me examples of this amazing lyricism

Nah fam, the real question is what is lyricism to you? Cause if I post some J Cole gems you can automatically dismiss them based on your view of what lyricism is. So there will be no point in posting them.

basically this....
but fukk it, I'll entertain you. I'll post a song from each project and some random verses and songs

 

[Chip Skylark]

You can't be serious,...
He is a nas biter guy.
Which is why he was jay's gw.

Art Barr

Nas biter? Nas is my GOAT but 75% of the metaphors and entendres Lu comes up with would've cross Nasirs brain on a good day. Nas couldn't have written Tetsuo and Youth or Failure or Theme Music to a Drive by. But Lu could do what Nas can and then some.

He was influenced by him but to say he bit Nas is farfetched.

Ya u dnt know what ur talking about

Lupe is all about entendres and double/triple meanings and obscure references

Thats not Nas' style at all

this basic
Iheard most these tracks alrdy and the fact that this the best u can come up with
shows J cole is mediocre

 

[Chip Skylark]

I think beats are just as important as lyrics and lyrics are just as important as the beat. You can't be spitting some of the illustration verses ever over a trash beat if so they lose steam and vice versa
