    you said "as far as skill goes"

    whats your criteria for that? how are you coming to that conclusion?

    you ARENT saying "i like a well executed "lyrical" way more than a trap one"

    you are saying "a well executed "lyrical" song takes way mroe skill than a trap one"

    and you didnt justify that in any way.

    the word lyrical makes me want to puke to begin with it

    I said I think it's harder to make songs with lyrical substance. That's my opinion.. In having tried to make both I find it hard to write something most would consider lyrically dope. Hope that better explains

    yeah but it's logically inconsistent. it's not even that we think it's a dumb opinion--it's that it's not a cogent opinion.

    My friend has a studio in which me and few other friends have made some songs. Nothing remotely major, just a little hobby of ours

    Explain..
    Idk if you're getting the point that I'm putting across lol
    What is inconsistent about the opinion that I think it takes more skill to make a well executed song that most would consider lyrically dope than a run of the mill trap song. (Not saying trap songs can't be lyrically dope, but a lot certainly don't focus on lyricism - which is fine, apples to oranges really)

    how "hard" it is to do something doesnt make it better though.

    also, do you not think this is "lyrical?" or takes effort/talent/whatever?

    I'm using its difficulty level to say it requires more skill. At least when I tried my hand in rapping it did. And no I'm not saying that!! That's dope as f---, I meant a lot of popular trap rap that I've heard is very simplistic lyrically. Which is cool, it is what it is and serves its purpose

    How does that make me a clown? I'm simply stating I think songs with the lyrical substance of sing about me are better than songs who focus more toward beats and hooks. Again not saying trap rap can't have great lyricism, like Lil Herb - dudes dope as f--- and is the total package.

    Also I misunderstood you earlier @Narsh , i totally generalized all trap music into a s-----y lyrically category. Didn't mean to do that and it was idiotic
