    thats what I was trying to say, rappers opinion on their own music shouldn't matter.

    hmmm...

    usually i'm capable of free-thinking but today i'm not. So let me just run the names through my computer program and i'll see what it says about their lyricism. 2 seconds

    @Volt Papii Ok i put Aesops name into my program and it gave me this.
    Aesop Rock
    Lyricism Determined
    Artist: Aesop Rock
    Lyricist: yes

    Then I enetered Drake's name and got this

    Drake
    ERROR 404: NO LYRICS FOUND
    If you're seeing this error, we were unable to find any written lyrics by the artist mentioned. You either
    a ) miss typed their name, try re-typing the artists name and searching again.
    b ) the artist uses ghostwriters and is not a lyricist.

    depends on the song/rapper
    a lot of s-----y music can get by being great on sound alone and being catchy/fun af
    but i like hearing funny things that make u go "haaah"

    I don't think it's stupid to care about it, but you're right about it not making you a lyricist.

    I enjoy music with a lot of substance but at the same time I can enjoy less lyrically deep material aswell

    There's plenty of good, really good music without good lyricism, but good lyricism is always good music, depends on the mood
