Who's the Poster Boy for 90's "Lyrical Myrical" Style?

[NikFuq]

Keith Murray?

Definitely. He would say shyt like "I lyrically do it to ya stupendously, tremendously"

 

[Taadow]

Keith Murray?

This is generally who I think of when I hear that...

 

[TripleAgent]

Never heard a project from dude, but being from Jersey and hearing Pac diss him is the only reason I'm aware of the guy.

You're missing out. He's made some really good music.

 

[Illuminatos]

N…

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

This.... It was about all those fast rapping, 100 syllables per bar, rappity rap rap guys

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Has to be Canibus

To the point where his music generally lacks almost everything but bars.. Or more accurately the other elements are way in the background (hook, beat, subject, energy).

But that motherfukcer will never be touched from a standpoint of bars.

And I know he's made a traincar full of wack shyt but the good stuff is glorious.

I still listen to Poet Laurette II sometimes. Took me a few YEARS to even understand what the song was.

EDIT: I shoulda said it was me and posted this

Spoiler

Can't believe nobody said Ras Kass yet.. Your post reminded me that this guy really had a skit on his album where a guy was dissing him for having wack beats... His reply in the skit wasn't that his beats were good... But that people should just be listening to the lyrics and nothing else mattered

Chino XL got tagged with that because of his first single which is totally lyrical miracle but if you listened to his album he was anything but that. He did a lot of storytelling in that. Anybody saying Ras Kass needs to be slapped cause he was always delivering a message while fitting in some punchlines.

The answer to me is a Keith Murray or Canibus where their entire catalogue is basically them rapping about how dope they are and not saying much of anything.

Well don’t slap me now lol. Message or no message is not the point. Are you throwing a bunch of unnecessary shyt in there to be rhyming and sounding complicated or nah. Ras Kass stayed doing that

proving it's not what you say it's how you say it*

Speaking of Keith Murray, I've gotta go back and listen to Enigma. Love that record.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Mos or Talib are up there..

Das got to be up there too.. They rippetty rapped, and nickaty nothing straight from the sickety sewer

Talib yeah but Mos Def??? Y'all just be saying anything around here.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

he aint even a 90’s rapper

Yes he was. Dude was on Soundbombing and Lyricist Lounge

 

[Living Bait]

His first album Here To Save You All was GAHBAGE

I preffered your second album

 

[keond]

he aint even a 90’s rapper

Some dummy dapped this

Black star album came out in 98 so did Lyricist Lounge

 

[BmoreGorilla]

This is the correct answer. Chino XL was all over the place but Keith Murray literally made up words to sound more lyrical.

Breh. nikka was using words like beautifullest and unfukkwittable
