Let’s have a discussion about rappers that are lyrically superior vs those that are artistically superior. It’s rare we have both in the same body and by both I mean like Lupe level vs Kanye level.

Thats more important? To me it’s being a top level artist

Are the. Drake, Kendrick, Kanye, Travis of the world much more impactful and beneficial to the culture than a Royce, Benny, Jadakiss, Fabolous

Both are of course important but what would you prefer?

kendrick a top level lyricist tho.

One does not cancel out the other

Kendrick would be in both

Wayne is in both

Wouldn’t really consider him a top tier lyricist tbh

Nahhhhh lmao

I can see why you wouldn't

ok but he still raps at a high level for most of his songs. Jay has sacrificed lyricism for a song. Nas. Em. Wayne that's what happens on some songs.

Point is Kendrick is a top level lyricist.

Both are important but it's better to be good at both. The all-time great MCs tend to be good at both

in what world fam?

Lmfao tripping. Explain how not

Like don’t get me wrong he still is a solid lyricist but wouldn’t put him up there with Nas, Jay, and Lupe ya know

Explain why not, and where he is cause yall wrong til proven otherwise. He not on a Kanye level artistry but he has proven and shown cases of it throughout his career

lol

got a constructive argument saying otherwise instead of just that or nah

A combination of both would be ideal but if I had to pick one I would pick an artistically superior rapper. Mainly because a song doesnt need to have amazing lyrics to be enjoyable

wayne doesn’t have an album that conveys overall concepts outside of maybe rebirth which is a dogshit album

Still can hold it up lyrically but artistically he really fell off. The song structures feel stagnant, kinda lost his ear for production, and just doesn’t make solid music all around nowadays. Which is why his music’s replay value diminishes fairly quickly

Whatever Young Thug is
