Decline in rap quality is correlated to literacy. These rappers now don't read books,don't write, illiterate. No longer intense path b/w poetry to rap

Less arts in the public school system, black people migrating to white suburbs, public schools underfunded, yeah that's why I'm not as harsh on this new guys they are basically left out here to fend for themselves

Weren’t all the old guys a bunch of dropouts in the streets just like the new guys?

Y’all are delusional. Theres nothing special about lyricism

Nas made one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time coming straight out of a 8th grade education level.

As we can see, dude had to smarten up in the game with some of his choices but praises be .

You can say the same about young professional athletes. Go look at some of these young players autographs. Most of them only write their initials or literally scribble lines. It’s bad. Reading and writing is a lost art.

Ironic literacy is ancient when smartphones are glued to fools hand, while we physically turned pages to read

What does critically acclaimed have to do with intelligence?

This topic has nothing to do with intelligence

NGL even if you read every book and know multisyllables, you are still a "smart dumb nikka", word to Lupe Fiasco.

Heads forgetting that dudes like Biggie dropped out of high school to get in the game. It has nothing to do with books, it's having a gift.

While rappers nowadays are a odd source of entertainers, they mastered what most rappers in the past failed to do:

1. Ride a beat
2. Melodics
3. Grinding without the label (folks forget the struggles of trying to do demos, street teams, and unsigned hype).

This is more yelling at clouds babble and I don't even care for 78 percent of hip hop nowadays.

Man what Lupe said sound like some smart dumb nikka babble lol

He on his birdman shyt talking to the prison inmates “you think books gonna help you?”

Lupe always been a weird enigma to me. He was considered a poser when he was supposed to be a Nerd (dude ran with Chill), he's immaculate as hell on the mic but holy fukk I would not want to listen to a lecture from breh

Lupe is the prime example of not meeting your idols.
