NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Goat level lyricism and poetry... I've said it in a few other threads that just because x wasn't a lyrical miracle rapper didn't mean he wasn't a top MC

Most people couldn't formulate a concept on this level. I've always related to the internal struggle.. its something we all go through in life maybe with different situations. It might not be street shyt or drug issues but his lyrics have always been relatable on an organic level of just a nikka going through some shyt...and we all go through shyt
I would argue any nikka to the death about X not being a lyricist. That’s just simply a bullshyt statement. Even DEHH. Most of em like X but there’s one of em who doesn’t like him at all and doesn’t even like IDAHIH. His excuse is X wasn’t a very good lyricist and they was like “it’s not about that with X, It’s the energy”. I’m like nah ALL y’all some cornballs that’s selling him short. If somebody can listen to IDAHIH and walk away feeling like there ain’t no lyricism in it that says more about them as listeners than X’s lyrics.

I literally lost all respect for DEHH after that recap. Then again, these the same nikkas that said Will Smith was more lyrical than Rakim.

The fukk, that's a boycottable offense. They've said some flagrant shyt in the past but this? Who said that?

Bro they was like “he’s like Onyx but not as lyrical..”. shyt was crazy.

Haven't really checked for them in awhile but I just unsubbed and unfollowed on Twitter on principle.

Kind of stopped watching after it became obvious that they kind of suck off Griselda and Run the Jewels because those guys shout em out on Twitter. But X is not a lyricist :mjlol:

nikka did u see what @FreshAIG posted about them nikkas saying Will Smith is a better lyricist than Rakim??? That’s should disqualify them from reviewing hip hop all around.
