The funny thing about the interwebs is that Papoose is one dude who is really something else
And everyone said he was the most lyrical once upon a time and now people saying he's not and never was lyrical
But back then during his first mixtapes he was a king of NY, only thing ppl said he had no flow
And now he kind of mastered a flow, but now you say he's no longer lyrical
It's really weird, but not lyrical?

You know what people used to say about Pap?I hate to to tell you put speaking on topics and putting themes in a song doesn't make you lyrical... Lyrically is putting words together in ways that others can't or would not think of... Nas is lyrical, Jay Z is lyrical, Biggie and 2 pac are not lyrical. Likewise, Pap is not a lyrical beast he's okay but his strength is his flow, delivery presenceand realness about him (like when you hear him you say that ni66a really from the hood).
Example:
Pap just lives off of his delivery.
Example:
"I chase hustlas of the block tell them get
Of the strip,
You 8 ball shaving dog you a ain't flipping a brick
I chase rappers of the stage tell them get
Of the Mic
You just rapping about it homeboy this shyt is my life
I look murders in the eye that's word
Of a trigga
If I'm still alive, you ain't a real murderer nikka
I put it work
Work on this starving streets
I put it work. I aint never squash a bee
I put it work, work on the block all night
I put it work, work on this got them mic
I put it work , work on this starving streets
I put it work , I aint never squash a bee
I don't demolish ya rappers cause I doubt ya breads
But I cant go back to Brooklyn without ya heads"
Take this above its ILL the way Pap spits it but there is nothing technical in there, no rhyme schemes or structures that stand out.
Its very simplistic but the way he spits it makes it dope.
Jay, Nas or even Biggie are way more lyrical and would've said the same thing more creatively. Pap just lives off of his delivery.
You know what people used to say about Pap?
"Damn that dude pap, he says crazy sh1t"
Cuz he said crazy things like "How could you be a king if you trapped in a castle" but in a way that you were like WHOAAA
You mean to say that back in the days nobody said Papoose is the guy that you rewind a song to say "what did he just say?"
Also the dude runs multisyllables
What are you thoughts on him and multis?

And remember the black democrat song?
He KILLED THATTTTT
Man I aint messing wit yall nikkas Im blamming
Yall slick talking while bay pa gripping his cannon
Ot I shoot like R.Miller and vanish New York nikkas do damage
nikkas who make under handed moves take smart dudes for granted
Getting the upper hand why would I give yall nikkas advantage
Soon as you lay your eye on your mark nikka you jam em
And dark like you a phantom
Alotta nikkas be acting hard like they can stand it
But mayne when them shots go off they be up under them cars like a mechanic
u trolling i can't tell u don't know what a rhyme scheme
because that verse had nothing but multis
How am I trolling? I'm dead in the middle of the argument. I posted the video of him in brooklyn over the Dead Wrong beat cause its classic to me.
Pap has moments of brilliance but other times he falls flat. That being said I'd rather listen to him than anything thats come out in the last 6 years...
You can pay for school but you can't buy class - JayZ Wackness
What's your point?
Everyone has filler bars/punchlines that they think is cool while writing it
u the one that said he no rhyme scheme in the victory verse
when that is a god damm lie.
