Why do so many dope lyricists forget music is entertainment?

OP asked a general question. I don’t think he’s talking about one record in general.


How are we not apart of hip hop? As a fan, rapper, merch buyer, concert attendee, etc, how sway?

Talib flopped with a Justin Timberlake feature when he was at his peak smh

He never marketed that song though. It wasn't a single and I think its a bonus song. He also had a Norah Jones feature on that same album.

nobody cares how dope your bars are if your music is trash. There are too may dope lyricist who can't make dope songs and albums then get mad when less skilled rappers who make good songs out sell them and are more popular.

Some dope lyricists are even worst and can't flow for shyt and sound awful saying their bars like Chino xl, Skillz and Talib kweli. bu bu bu the industry holding us back :damn:


People just want to hear good music. You can't make music to impress others lyricists then get mad when the public rejects your deposit because your music is trash.

YOU ARENT A DOPE LYRICIST
IF YOU CANT FLOW.


GO MAKE SOME POETRY

Tell me more.


Jermaine dupri

nikka got mad when he got clowned for fundisha.

plus owned online by me here, when i should have no power over you. If you this jiggy nepotism mca way based act.

them motherfukkers know without that jiggy bullahit being marketed they would have never drawn a dime. Plus they have a fake draw. As they never had a grassroots record draw indie frfr.

while i been flanking the highest bds gainer and number one rated grass roots record on the college radio charts. The only records pulled by an actual play list. That is not authenicated by wgci. Of which those wgci numbers are also based on who i flanked. While beinG the highest bds gainer and propelling y'all favorite rapper to a draw on a lead single. that originally flopped before it was remixed. Like they were grooming somebody when it was the other way around too.

shyt hilarious.

it is only so long nepotism, toys and culture thieves can pretend.
stop believe'n these playalistic voices.
they would get ripped live and never actually drew to be on your radar. Besides begging for a loan or given one based on nepotism.

Lol what’s going on with you today?

I’ve held events and MC’d and spit plenty of times. Critiquing is fine either you like or not

I just think anyone who consumes hip hop especially since a young age and decides to participate in it... is part of hip hop

fukk no.
you need to be culturally on point.
plus really belong to a pillar culturally for real in the new school way of thought.
not just oh i rap.

like i said previously, What'chu write.
if it goes over your head.
I have a hard time believe'n you really engrained in hiphop culture.

simple as that.

as you are unable to recognize any cultural gateway speak.
you should definitely know if you are apart of hiphop culture.

Lyricism and entertainment are not mutually exclusive
You kinda answered your own question. Just because you're a dope lyricist, doesn't mean you're a dope artist or songwriter. A lot of guys have bars and can flow well, but they lack musicality and over-compensate for that with how skilled they are at rapping.

The rappers that get held in the highest regard are the ones who are dope lyrically and musically. They know how to craft songs and albums, not just verses.
What it really comes down to is (usually trendy) beat selection, making sure there's a strong hook in the chorus, and counting bars, the last of that is or should be learned early.

The bulk of rappers don't play instruments or read music, and despite the melody/auto tune yodeling today, don't sing all that well so I don't really think they have a superior "musicality" that lyricists lack.
