raekwon was the true grimey lyricist not prodigy

[West Coast Avenger]

Damn...That's a tuff one for me. I prefer P, but Rae in the 90's was one of the best at this.

The few songs they have together are perfection...

You are an idiot for taking time to research and post youtube videos for this thread made by a trolling fakkit

Trouble with Rae is that he can flow for days but alot of his shyt makes no sense.

Translation: Rae has flows for days but I can't understand what he's saying.

Rae has some obscure lines but most of the shyt he says makes sense.
It's just decoded with deep slang, 5% shyt, drug dealer shyt, Brooklyn shyt, Staten shyt, made up slang, metaphors etc..

If you wanna understand OB4CL you should read the wu forum, rap genius, google the references etc..


Just like very old school poetry.

Fair enough. I fukk with Rae but I would say about 25% of his shyt makes no sense to me. He has his own personal slang. I bet even Ghost doesn't understand some of that shyt.

Ghost and Rae shyt is the only music i'll shamelessly google mad lines, go on rapgenius etc.

shyt I thought made no sense at all made perfect sense when I got someone else's perspective on the line etc..
Or when I connected the dots between the references and metaphors. It's also the rhyme structure of these dudes. Certain bars are split into two different bars which where the first half connects with the previous line and 2nd half connects with following line and shyt like that.


The same problem white folks have with The Wire, everyone has with Wu-tang .
