    Im not from the IC school of thought where yall count homonyms.

    Did the lyrics make u feel the track... Did they tell a story.... Did they have substance...

    Lyrical in the context of hip hop. Quit trying to change the rules.

    Sounds like u tryn change the definition

    And yall act like Cole is a crazy spitter... He the king of corny rhymes & punchlines

    Nope lyricism has always had a certain criteria in hip hop.

    Death to the imposters, label me the king
    My dreams could win Oscars, my ? turned mobsters
    My white friends doctors, fatherless child
    Listen how I got this knowledge is wild
    Streets taught me, speak softly ? watch from the crowd
    Cause any ? that's loud, just want attention and eventually blaow
    No fake ? allowed in my circle dawg
    You been through half the ? I been through it'll hurt ya dawg
    Tread softly, my ? moving state to state running late watch 'em
    Tryna avoid state troopers, that's the weight watchers
    Run this dope set this cake till they say "Gotcha"
    Or till the fat lady sings, and ? hate operas
    And Oprah hate ?
    Make no mistake that we know the stake still, we hope to make over eight figures
    Slim chances, but ? bet against the odds and who am I to criticise how you play your cards dawg
    .....
    Look, I never admit it, tryna get my brother acquitted
    Yo' tell the judge I be happy to pay him off if he's with it
    My flesh and blood, hauled off to the cell
    I search for heaven as I see him getting lost in this hell
    Headed for coffin or jail, to never try is the ultimate fail
    But love is wanting more for someone than they want for themselves
    Deep, I guess I love a lot
    Because the more I do my thang the more I feel the guilt and shame that my brother's not
    Reminisce as we was kids screaming "? a cop"
    Guess he took it serious, for me that ? was just for props
    Arms too skinny to hug the block
    I found comfort in my dreams of things seen on the screen of fortune and fame
    Decisions, decisions, the Porsche or the Range
    I take a trip back to the 'Ville only corpses remain
    Some of them ? still breathing but they dead inside
    Victims of a genocide
    Tears fill my eyes dawg
    krit does not have a verse more lyrical than this

    Who knows! You're the one spending a great deal of time in a thread for an artist you dislike, and this is not the first time you've done this in a Krit thread. So, something about him has to trigger something lol

    @Beta @AggyAF everybody got an opinion, i can agree to disagree wit anybody like an adult is supposed too. But i cant stand ? that troll a thread of an artist they dont like. Like what sense does that make??? Now @AggyAF i havent seen u be on that like talkin about, but @Beta is being King troll like a ? in this piece. I think Troy ave is trash and he's a sucka ass ? for bringing a dead man up in a beef, but i dont listen to his music so i dont comment on threads about him. U should try that ? sometimes homie. Lol

    Yall try to just hold everyone to the east coast backpacker rappity rap style of hip hop.

    Songs like Pacs "Brendas Got a Baby" or UGKs "Hi Life" are lyrical songs.

    The lyrics hit u, carry weight, tell a story, paint a picture = lyrical

    Lyrical is not all about double entandres or ? homonyms. Thats a very specific style of hip hop.

    Address my posts directly.


    And it's not rappityrap just because your country ass can't understand it


    Oh and Cole does everything you just define as lyrical better than KRIT

    Stories, different perspectives, real ? , club ? , etc.

    I listen to both so you cannot win this argument lmao

    I listen to both as well. I own all Coles mixtapes and bought his 1st 3 albums. I didnt buy the recent 1 because i found it boring.

    Cole does have deep tracks and i ? those like See World, Baddness, Lights Please, ect.

    But when i listen to his albums in full he also has mad cringeworthy bars and numerous corny tracks.

    I still think hes one of the best artist out but i find Krit alot better. Cole is better at making records for the masses.

    I did not make this thread.

    I dont think krit will blow up. Most of my favorite artists have not. I personally dont care about that.

    @AggyAF opinions are like ? bruh. But i respect the fact that u said that you've listened to both artist at least. Your opinion is ur opinion, but to insinuate that a ? aint a lyricist if He aint some hyrogliphic, specific, pacific ? is bs. When i listen to a ? and He can make me feel what He says and realte to it and it's some Real ? and the ? got a good flow i ? wit it. If being a lyrical miracle whip ass ? made u a star then Canibus or Crooked I would be the GOAT. And country ? understand the ? too so drop that fuckshit. Lol

    I think it's his sound to be honest. The same reason why UGK and Eightball and MJG didn't blow up. He is a little too country.

    I tried to tell them that

    And krit cannot see Cole lyrically or saleswise. Facts

    Your right about sales... Lyrically krit is better

    Post these lyrical krit verses that are superior to Cole

    Last verse 1Train
    2nd verse Mt. Olympus
    The Vent
    Red Eye
    1st verse on I'm On 2.0 which also had Cole that he ? on.
    Viktorious
    Exhibit K Freestyle
