do you think people want to listen to an album which is going to put them to sleep? the beats are JUST as important as the lyrics. nobody is going to listen to you if the beat is snooze worthy. MC means move the crowd. no matter how lyrical you are, if you can't do that, then you might as well quit. all classic songs and albums are known for their BEATS. you rap over a beat that everybody likes, people will know your rhymes incomparison to someone who raps over a half assed beat. nobody's going to play your sh!t unless you're one of those bookworm guys that wants to feel super smart listening to "smart" music.
...are you really actually fukking retarded? TDE have great in house beatmakers, now stfu.
Oh and neg for your stupidity fukkwit.
