Where did this narrative that Magoo was complete trash come from?

[jilla82]

he wasnt 'trash'...his rhymes were average or subpar.

What he was good at was not ruining a Timbaland song...he knew how to rap on his beats.

For example...he killed this

 

[Soundwave]

I never had a problem with his bars; I had a problem with his voice.

Sounded like a poor man's Q-Tip

Son whole aura was like if Cole off Martin was a rapper...he dead ass ended a verse with "the bird bird bird, the bird is the word"...that's a sick ass nikka

He gave Peter Griffin a style to run with

He didn’t kill that his rhymes on that are below par at best. And that’s doing a disservice to below par

 

[surv2syn]

for his time he wasnt up to par with other MC's. in today's era he'd be considered a lyricist.

 

[letti cook]

he was trash on Up Jumps The Boogie...other than that, he was usually solid imo


he wrecked this, especially his last verse


he flowed on this


solid ....not great..but he wasnt fukkin songs up

 

[Will Ross]

People following the bandwagon of someone more popular.
sorta like how people clown Ja rule when at one point he was respected

thats exactly what I said...
...his rhymes were whack, but he never was responsible for ruining a Timbaland track.

he knew how to flow with whatever beat he was on.

Flow is cool. If your rhymes suck then

Flow is only half the battle

 

[tremonthustler1]

fukk outta here nikka was trash

nikka legit got in the booth and said "up in the cut like gay nikkas in butt"

Ahead of his time cuz I’m sure Lil Wayne woulda said it if Magoo didn’t

 

[IVS]

He had to be the plug or sumpn

 

[King Kai]

Absolute classic. One of my favorite beats of all time

And then Magoo comes in on the 2nd verse...

 

[Dzali OG]

I never had a problem with his rap. His voice was different and I guess for that time period he was too simple. But simple isn't always trash.

He was a perfect wingman.
