Smdh at ? being to dumb to break down lyrics nowadays. That was part of the fun when I was coming up. "Did you hear what that ? just said" was a popular saying in hip hop or "rewind that ? ".

lol @ having to write a rappers lyrics down in a notepad in order to dissect them. Short bus ass ?
I like rappers who can actually rap. I like flow, content, lyricism, good beat selection, ad-libs, character, originality, and style. (Oh and I don't listen to ? who I think is soft)
And you don't necessarily have to have every single one of those qualities I listed but those the things I like in a rapper.
My iTunes ranges from Soulja Slim to Jay-Z to Deltron 3030 . As long as you can rhyme on a good beat you cool wit me -

All those mixtape rappers that a lot of ppl claim to be great aren't really cause they weren't good enough to put out a solid album. Granted some get caught in bad label situations but i think for the most part they don't have that artistic skill to make an album.
Do you consider Section 80 an album? -

I was just trying to determine if he was one of those cats, who automatically considers anything not released by a major or through a major a mixtape. Cause as far as I'm considered Section 80 was Kendrick's debut and a near classic (if not a classic). Whereas some would say it don't count until he drops "Good kid, mad city" cause it's on Aftermath. -
Lyrical deals with emotional output while lyricism deals with the lyrics

lyricism flow delivery and subject matter are the 4 points of criteria.
Rappers dont pick beats if they are signed, their A&Rs do.
and all that image ? is for videos and magazines, appreciate the art of the MC
Rick Ross sucks and so does Young Jeezy, they just aint good rappers.
