Do you consider stove god cooks a lyricist?

[KickoTheDon]

I put my friend on to stove god cooks reasonable drought album and his main complaint was that he wasn’t fukking with stove God’s pen game and thought he wasn’t a lyricist in any way. I disagreed and my rebuttal was basically that stove god is def a lyricist, but it may be his style of rapping that he wasn’t fukking with. What do you guys think, is Stove a lyricist?

He is not a lyricist.
He is only liked because if Roc Marconio prodyced all the beats on his album.

He would not have the limited traction he has without Marciano cosign

I've literally have never heard a good StoveGodCooks song

I haven't listened to any of his projects, but I liked his presence on the WSG tracks he was a feature on. I'd have to listen to a complete project to call him a "lyricist". He's dope though.

See this is what Im talking about. Bar is corny

he's nice but he's got a lot of corny qualities that get in the way. he's quite jarring to listen to sometimes.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

he approaches writing from a performative angle. I don't really fukk with the one dimensional character though.

his album to me was too much like a parody even if he pulls it off it still feel like a play more than a rap album to me.

Dude is one of my favourite new gen rappers.

Hearing him interpolate Drake's 'Succesful' with goon bars on 'Rolls Royce Brake Lights' was to me. He definitely seems more commercially minded than some of the other cats in that genre. Some of dude's bars have me straight too.

Looking forward to the album curated by Gunn, but I really hope he continues linking with Roc because the Nicky Santoro/Ace Rothstein chemistry they've built between 'Marcielago' and 'Reasonable Drought' is dope.

He's nice, not super lyrical though. More style over substance. He's enjoyable listen.

He def comes from a performative tip but does that take away from him being a lyricist? To be clear I’m not saying he’s an elite lyricist, but to say he isn’t a lyricist at all is bugged to me. Meth and Redman both approached rap from a performative angle but people never said they weren’t lyricists

His run on "thousand pills" "Jose canseco" and especially "eye of Horus" was hard as fukk last year

Let's not even forget "puff daddy" from the year before

Dude had bars, punchlines, presence, energy. It's not dry lyricism like a lot of other guys in that lane but I think he's really, really talented and I'm excited to see what he does for his next project on someone other than roc's beats a bit

Tbh I'm kinda surprised by some of the replies in this thread, I can't believe someone could listen to "the eye of whorus" or "Jose canseco" and come away thinking those verses aren't good

I'm not really sure what would make you think they aren't "lyrical"

You said you’ve literally never heard a good song from him so your opinion isn’t really one I care about
