Sep 26, 2017 stop with this meme No, it's a lost cause only when people do it and aren't actually right. If you argue with me, and I don't either a) back off the topic, and/or b) admit I was wrong, it's because I know my argument is actually logically sound, and I can see the holes in the other sides argument from a mile away. So throw me on ignore or something, and go get plastered with your buddies for the 5th time this week instead of harping on about it.
Sep 26, 2017 Except not everyone who calls something "lyrical" or "technical" is putting down things that aren't "lyrical" or "technical"
Sep 26, 2017 You know thats a g.d. lie for like 2 hours a couple weeks ago I had to convince you a consensus could be a real thing and at 5 am you finally agreed.
Sep 26, 2017 then please explain what either of those terms mean in the context of hip hop because you just described both doom and aesop rock as a separate subgenre labeled "lyrical rap" and that's just flat out ridiculous if they're not made up terms that people hide behind then please by all means define them like i've been asking you to do for the past day
Sep 26, 2017 They're terms used to describe and categorize certain sounds. Don't know what you want me to say, if you want to believe Doom is a ''mumble rapper'' than.. go ahead I guess?
Sep 26, 2017 Still waiting on you to actually counter the arguments I made @WPG Nice job dodging the post entirely in this s--- storm of a thread. Obviously not, but that doesn't really apply to music now does it.
Sep 26, 2017 Except we weren't arguing over whether or not a consensus could be a thing. We were arguing over whether or not a tiny fraction of people is somehow relevant to determining the status of something as "classic" Consensus was part of the argument, but I never disregarded it as a "thing". It's quite obviously one. What the argument was, was whether or not that meant s--- in the grand scheme of things for something like that term, and whether or not it was meaningless as a result.
Sep 26, 2017 Can i ball can i chill can i stunt? Will I live long enough to raise my son, made something out of nothing, there's nothing where I'm from. the most lyrical line I ever heard in my life
Sep 26, 2017 i never said you were putting it down. i said you don't know why you like the things you like so you use meaningless words that literally have no definition in the context of hip hop because they can (and are) used in relation to every single rapper. what sounds? please be specific. define them. i know what a subgenre is, that's what you defined. please define what "technical skill" is, because you said that's what's keeping people from putting kanye in their #1 spot.
Sep 26, 2017 I know you guys are being analytical on what lyrical and technical rapping are and if they're a thing but in context of the topic Is lyricism in rap a trend that has faded like @VirusStorm said? Or is this false
Sep 26, 2017 technical rap if we're going by the name is rap that has more to do with advanced techniques such as multi-syllable rhyme schemes, double entendres etc. It's really not that hard to understand. that's not true, that was the bigger picture
Sep 26, 2017 it can. if someone has a massive lean addiction and is always leaned out. they will mumble or slur their speech. if an alcoholic tries to speak while drunk, it will sound like slurred mumbles. if someone prescribed xanax has enough/too much they are going to slur. since lean, alcohol and xanax are pretty hot topics in hip hop someone developing an accent from those things isn't that much different to someone developing an accent from their birth country. "but why don't they just not do drugs and just dont mumble?" because it's part of their image/background/life. It adds to their story.
Sep 26, 2017 Kodak Black making the most lyrical line you heard in your life doesn't make him a lyrical rapper. If Toby Keith releases an album full of rap songs is he now a rapper and not a country artist?
