KevinthePRF Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Tracks that showcase his lyrical talent:Georgia Bush http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJt4IBLBhc Cannon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfWo6vrqFZM Tracks that showcase his diversity: Shooter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkKaK9DAz7M Leather so soft There are obviously more. I don't have the time to go through all of his music and point out that he does have talent. It's very hard to disagree that there is a mainstream rapper out right now who is lyrically superior. Kanye is one of my favorites, but the way wayne rhymes just catches my attention. Anyone want to argue the mainstream rapper point? Just listen to a few of these before you throw stones at the man. He IS the best mainstream rapper out there. Nas isn't mainstream, Wu tang isn't mainstream any more. The only mainstream rapper that could possibly touch him is Jay-Z. I'd like to say I'm getting to old, but new artists continually come out that keep catching my attention. But after listening to all four of these tracks. Throughly unimpressed. Best mainstream rapper? If that translates to generic uninnovative regurgitation of whatever is popular for the moment, okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad89 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Here's a part of "Cannon" that I think is pretty good, since everyone seems to want to annihilate him based on 4 songs. N****s know i'm sick, i don't spit - i vomitGot it? one egg short of the omelet. Simon says, Shoot a n**** in his thigh and leg, and tell him to Catch up like mayonnaise i am ... i am the sickest n**** doing it - bet that baby these other n****s dope, I'm wet crack baby get back get back, boy this a set back clumsy a** n*****s slip and fall into a deathtrap. dem boys p***y, born without a backbone - and if you strapped we can trade like the Dow Jones But I do realize I won't convert anyone. I like him and if you guys don't..that's your prerogative. You can't deny that "Shooter" and "Leather So Soft" are unique songs, especially for rap.

RonArtest15 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 You know why Lil Wayne is a good rapper in my eyes. All the sports lines he throws out. Can't no rapper hang with him with the sports lines. Oh really? hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Here's a part of "Cannon" that I think is pretty good, since everyone seems to want to annihilate him based on 4 songs.But I do realize I won't convert anyone. I like him and if you guys don't..that's your prerogative. You can't deny that "Shooter" and "Leather So Soft" are unique songs, especially for rap. Brad, you gotta help me out man. How does thigh and leg rhyme with mayonnaise? What is the battle lyric, "one egg short of the omlet" mean exactly? Rap is known to take liberties with the language, no doubt, but, "those other n****** dope, I'm wet crack baby" is insulting to who, how and why can't the sentence be remotely complete? Here's the song that remains the classic battle rap against all comers. Notice how much more tight the lyrics are without constant cursing. It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left youWithout a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak shows you slept through Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss The rhymes from the microphone soloist And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon As you hear it, pump up the volume Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow, Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go It's a 4 letter word when it's heard, it control your body to dance (You got it) soul, Ditects the tempo like a red alert Reaches your reflex, so let it work When this is playing, you can't get stuck wit The steps, so get set and I'm a still come up wit A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago It can be done but only I can do it For those that can dance and clap your hands to it I start to think and then I sink Into the paper like I was ink When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines, I escape when I finish the rhyme... I got soul You got it (4x) I know you got soul Picture a mic, the stage is empty A beat like this might tempt me To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train But I'll wait 'cause I mastered this Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss Eric B. break the sticks (you got it) Rakim will begin when you make the mix I'll experiment like a scientist You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list 'Cause I'm a manifest and bless the mic I hold You want it next? then you gotta have soul 'Cause if you ain't got it, I'm a make an encore Take the mic, make the people respond for The R, 'cause that's the way it'll have to be If you wanna get on after me Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme Forget it and don't waste your time 'Cause I'll be in the crowd if you ain't controlling it Drop the mic, you shouldn't be holding it This is how it should be done This style is identical to none Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me So upset that I'm wet 'cause you're sweating me I drip steam like a microphone fiend Eager to MC is my theme I get hype when I hear a drum roll Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul You got it (5x) I got soul (you got it) that's why I came To teach those who can't say my name First of all, I'm the soloist, the soul controller Rakim gets stronger as I get older Constant elevation causes expansion I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion Then put it on tape and in the city I test it Then on the radio the R's requested You listen to it, the concept might break you 'Cause almost anyone can relate to... Whoever's out of hand, I'm give him handles Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles Or should I just let him melt? Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt I'm not bold just cuz I rock gold Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul You got it (4x) Now I'm a stop to see what you got Get off the mic before I get too hot I want to see which posse can dance the best It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh Now if your from Uptown, Brooklyn- bound, The Bronx, Queens, or Long Island Sound, Even other states come right and exact, It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at Since you came here, you have to show and prove And do that dance until it don't move 'Cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release, The rest is up to you, Rakim 'll say peace You got it (10x) Compare songs that actually flow like the one above to any garbage today and tell me why you even listen to the crap today.

This one's for you, Art... Awwwwwwww, ya mom is so fat (how fat is she?) We rode up on her back to get some burgers from Wendy's and her skates went flat; I got stuck in her butt crack They thought I was lost but I was caught by the G-strap Heaven forbid a giant fart would give way Cause that would blow me round the world in a day We drove into the drive-in and she didn't have to pay because we dressed her up to look just like a Chevrolet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosperity Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Ghostface deserves credit. Not the best thought out lyrics, but as a whole they make sense, if not line by line... kind of like another rapper Aesop Rock (except not as.. umm deep?)... line by line you can't really tell what is the story but as the song goes on the meaning comes out. That aside, he has damn good delivery and the beats are pretty sick as far as I have heard. Fishscale by itself I think is a masterpiece of rap and it didn't come out that long ago so there is still definitely great rap/hip hop that can be made (but usually isn't).

Doozinbrah Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 "SpottieOttieDopalicious" by Outkast......This is storytelling at it's finest. [Hook] Damn damn damn James [Pat Brown] Dickie shorts & Lincoln's clean leanin' checking out the scene Gangsta boys Bigga's lit ridin' out talkin' **** "n-word" where you wanna go? You know the club don't close 'til four let's party 'til we can't no more Watch out here come the folks [Dre] As the plot thickens it gives me the dickens Reminiscent of Charles a li'l disco-tech nestled in the ghettoes of Niggaville, USA via Atlanta, Georgia a li'l spot where young men & young women go to experience they first li'l taste of the nightlife Me? Well I've never been there, well perhaps once But I was so engulfed in the Old "E" I never made it to the door you speak of hard core while the DJ sweatin' out all the problems and the troubles of the day While this fine bow-legged girl fine as all outdoors lulls lukewarm lullabies in your left ear competing with "Set it Off," in the right But it all blends perfectly let the liquor tell it "Hey hey look baby they playin' our song" And the crowd goes wild as if Holyfield has just won the fight But in actuality it's only about 3 A.M. and three niggas just don' got hauled off in the ambulance [sliced up] two niggas don' start bustin' [wham wham] and one "n-word" don' took his shirt off talkin' 'bout "Now who else wanna **** with Hollywood Court?" It's just my interpretation of the situation [Hook] [big Boi] When I first met my SpottieOttieDopalicious Angel I can remember that damn thing like yesterday The way she moved reminded me of a Brown Stallion horse with skates on smooth like a hot comb on nappy ass hair I walked up on her & was almost paralyzed her neck was smelling sweeter than a plate of yams with extra syrup eyes beaming like four karats apiece just blindin' a "n-word" felt like I chiefed a whole O of that Presidential My heart was beating so damn fast never knowing this moment would bring another life into this world Funny how **** come together sometimes [ya dig] One moment you frequent the booty clubs & the next four years you & somebody's daughter raisin' y'all own young'n now that's a beautiful thang that's if you're on top of your game and man enough to handle real life situations [that is] Can't gamble feeding baby on that dope money might not always be sufficient but the United Parcel Service & the people at the Post Office didn't call you back because you had cloudy piss So now you back in the trap just that, trapped Go on and marinate on that for a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Personally I got Nas at the top. He can go from political to social issues to Ether.... I am a huge Mobb Deep fan but I prefer more of their older stuff like Drop a Gem on 'em I think Outkast is one of the best in the business. No two albums from them sound alike. It's like they reinvent themselves on every album. Go back and listen to Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik you will see how far they have come.
