Let's analyse some of the K-Rino lyrics now from the The Non Conformist song.....

"Never will I bow to y'all's institutions
I'll probably never get credit for my contributions
If you scared or a sellout your life is worthless
Got devils try to tell me how to write my verses
"

"I know he's serving his purpose so I keep my game tight
Cause if the devil mad at me that means I'm doing things right"

"I'm in this underground deep like Cousteau
They'll never let a field nikka like me lose bro"

This quote comes to mind, not K-Rino, but interesting....

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth"

That's my shyt :lawd:

Entire song is a metaphor btw...ketchup :mjpls:

These motherfukkers are SO dumb lmao. I'm going back reading the thread now and it's mind blowing how ignorant and preposterous they are. Tiny limited knowledge, K-Rino has masses of concept threads that aren't in the vain of Deprogramed, the fukk they mean? Sheer ignorance, that's the only way to put it. And also the regular simplistic pseudo intellectual buffoon tried to say Deprogrammed was the exact same concept as Annihilation Of The Evil Machine, when it's not... I genuinely think they don't understand the songs, so create their own warped interpretations of what the songs mean that they can understand, in other words.....

“A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.”

Let's also add on some more relevant quotes...

“Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.”

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

"Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.”

“When a great genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign; that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."

You've got to be smoking rocks if you really think my ability to rap has ANY bearing on how wack your boy is. I am not a rapper. I'm comparing K-Whino to other rappers I've heard.



No you don't. This thread has exposed how smartdumb you are. I analyzed why this dude was trash to a degree you've probably never seen. And I'm yet to get a response to that post.

The joke is - the people you think are sheeple on here clearly understand rap deeper than you do. But your arrogance wont let you see past that.



And I stand by it. Threads like this prove my point. Modern underground hip hop has been focusing on lames like K-Rino who have no poetic ability and posit themselves as rap saviors, when in fact they're arrogant wack trash flooding the market with generic trash.



Are you a leader or a follower? Do you really think I give a fukk who cosigns who? My favorite rappers and producers have cosigned some of the wackest people in hip hop history. I simply don't care.

And the hip hop fans that care about that kinda stuff are dudes on a constant search for validation. They need the validation because deep down, they don't know how this shyt works and they need someone to guide them

like bytches

Your ability to write lyrics certainly has a baring on your knowledge of lyricism. If you can actually do it in 99 percent of cases you know more. You are clearly shook to do that cause you don't want to get exposed.

Lmao, at you thinking you said anything correct, you are far too ignorant to know how ignorant you are. You made a thread called lyricism killed Hip Hop, that shows how little you know about Hip Hop AND lyrics. I tried to give you a pass initially cause I thought you were simply coming from a place of misguided ignorance but clearly you have a disdain against anything lyrical, with substance, creative or conceptual which hasn't been conditioned to you.

If lyricism killed Hip Hop, did Rakim, who was a supreme lyricist kill it? What about Melle Mel, Moe Dee, Kane etc? They killed Hip Hop? :mindblown: Did Nas kill Hip Hop? Jay on RD?. Exactly, you are clueless.

From what you said you implied you have soley heard 1 K-Rino song, so you judge an artist with over 30 projects spanning over 30 years on 1 concept song when you don't like concepts/creativity? I could easily disprove every single point with tracks....

I liked K-Rino's music before I knew any of that, the point is some people in here are acting like it's the consensus opinion within Hip Hop he is trash, when infact the opposite is true, he is highly revered and respected, you are missing something, a lot infact, but you are far too stubborn to realize and recognize this, or even listen to come to the conclusion that you are wrong, you made a rash judgement and came to a definitive stance without the required information and knowledge to reach that stance, this highlights your lack of integrity, your quickness to jump on a bandwagon of hatred to try and fit in, I would happily disprove you further with music but you won't listen because you've closed your mind. But to say for instance K-Rino has no poetic qualities is merit-less, you've pigeon holed him into a box of just having a certain type of track, subject matter or even rhyming style when that is far from the truth.

ob·jec·tive
əbˈjektiv/
adjective

1. (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

Hence why I used the term, I am not influenced by anything, I judge music on the music, which is why I can critique even artists I like and praise artists I'm less fans of. A lot of people are missing that.

Objective

5.
not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased:

You can have an objective opinion cause there are several definitions for the words...

opinion

2.
a statement of advice by an expert on a professional matter.

But if you want to change opinion to analysis or view point it's the same difference.

1. You're not an expert
2. Judging rap music isn't a professional matter you retard, at least not for you, your profession is not judging rap music

By the way what do you even do outside of posting

Actually it is, if you are a reviewer, and I have done reviews before, paid reviews too on credible dope outlets too not the wack ones. And I am an expert by the way.

Rino goes hard IMO. I like the illustrative nature of this song a lot, and what impresses me about K Rino lyrically is that he combines technical prowess with a huge amount of poetic value. Few have the literary and linguistic capability to do so. Only Pac and KRS comes to mind immediately - there are more of course.[/B]

When I think of K Rino, I think of the song when he's contemplating between the Devil and God - can't remember the name - but again, the poetic value and the illustrative nature of the song rather than just someone narrating a story was what captivated me. The instrumentals are simply a vehicle for performance.

Also, something to be said for deprogramming - music and sound does have the potential to alter mind states and even possibly DNA. What you use music for can be crucial. Also, I do believe that some kinds of music resonate with different kind of people. If you're more predisposed to a hedonistic existence, you'll probably gravitate towards music of frivolous nature, whether masterfully composed or sloppily put together. If you're somebody with strong beliefs about things, you'll gravitate to music that reflects that - if you're a dark personality you'll gravitate towards brooding, moody music and so on and so forth.

Having said that, it's probably a good idea to attain a positive balance rather than oversaturate yourself with negativity. Good to channel your negative energy somewhere, but too much and you begin to fuel it, as with the patient in K Rino's song. And right now, we're overdosing on music of no substance nowadays. I appreciate the musical backdrop of modern music as a composer and lover of art in general, but lyrically? Not so much! :ehh:

Just read this again, 1 of the dopest posts in the thread so far. Knowledge Reigns Supreme as you mentioned KRS-One lol.

@The Ruler 09

You still haven't responded to the initial post where I broke down K-Rino's rhymes and made mention of conjunctive adverbs. You know, the post I and others have quoted but you seem too shook to respond to. Do you have any feedback on that or are you gonna continue to deflect?
