you know exactly what I'm talking about. like why the f*** are you rapping about pythagoras and archimedes. Good lyricism should be about expressing complex emotions not flexing your intellect

nobody even raps like that man, you are chatting bullshit

To each their own. I'd rather listen to something that's evocative and resonates with me emotionally, than the millionth clever pun for slinging crack

again, wtf are you talking about man. You literally quoted a rapper who can’t resist rapping about slinging and doing d**** he doesn’t do

you don't get it and it's fine

you are trolling and quoting songs like carnival man, nobody knows what the f*** you are talking about cause it’s filled with bullshit reasonings

We have different tastes in art. You don't have an appreciation for fly, impressionistic and evocative lyrics. You need all of your rap songs to be impersonal sociology and history lectures. I'm not going to convince you to see what I see

Thats not what any of us said

He and LUCKI fill up so much of these types of songs with filler generic rapper lifestyle bullshit to get to the few lines like these where you could vaguely interpret some type of meaning lol that's the problem with what you're saying

Name 5 rappers after 2010 who rose to prominence with people under 25-30 who had that hieroglyphics pyramid "hotep" type rapping

Literally it's just Ab soul and Jay elect and they had way more to them + they never really blew up fr

The idea of some lyrical miracle pyramid ass nigga being what niggas mean when they talk about lyricism is a (purposely?) outdated trope that people grab to justify laziness. It's much closer to the Wayne Jay Kanye Drake etc brand of "lyricism" where it's simply clever, saying something and on the writing level of at least a high school sophomore

That's like exactly what Future is though? Lmao he's just not trying to be clever with his metaphors and add s***and violence to him still pretending to be a crack dealer over dope he sold in the literal Bush presidency lol

Literally everyone you're talking to is saying that's not what they want

Lmaoo why do niggas skip over Kanye Drake Wayne Jay or even TI when doing this

and going straight to some pharoah monche krs one canibus esque imaginary amalgamation of hotep rapper that no one under 25-35 consistently listens to lol

@Moet_Hennessy where u at dawg

Niontay will randomly have a brief line thats so subtly profound you think about it nonstop for a week

Unfortunately when rappers really try to bar out like that on trap beats it kinda just sounds like this

Its almost a whole different medium than pre-2010s rap, its more about how you say it than what you actually say, theres a good amount of rappers doing it right but I do wish there were more

Because Gen Z and alpha too far removed from the process they don’t even know how to go about it and they value vibes over everything and 9 times out if 10 the good “vibe” is gonna be low effort

why are niggas making basic ass figurative language out to be profound “lyricism”

it’s a cool lil pen trick but that’s it man, you put more effort into this comment than future did freestyling this

Lmaooo

JID

Isn't this literally what bands like nirvana and radiohead do, throw paint at the wall that can be interpreted any which way

bro is 35 yrs old lol

Anyone who actually tried to rap with interesting lyrics is considereed a burger

It's genuinely not worth trying to appeal to the current "underground" they don't like good music they just want f***able rappers ngl
