    of course it exists, you f---ing dolt. that's why we're talking about it. i'm saying the term exists as a pejorative and a. doesn't accurately describe a sub-genre and b. is used almost exclusively as a pejorative. no one writes criticism about a record and says "this is some good mumble rap." no rappers would describe their work that way.

    no. i'm saying it's technically more difficult to write like tupac. more specifically: i'm saying that counting rhyming syllables is a horrible metric for evaluating skill.

    if you seriously still can't grasp how someone might possibly hear someone like yachty or thug and think they're mumbling, or think their delivery SOUNDS like mumbling (and this is coming from someone who both a) pays almost all their attention to the sound of things where music is concerned, and b) enjoys some of what would fall under this category), Idk what the f--- to tell you

    because it's reallllllllllllly obviously possible

    and quite obvious how that descriptor could be useful when navigating music

    It's not my top rappers list, it's just some rappers that are consistently lyrical. I could've answered Immortal Technique as well

    Brother Ali,Eminem,Nas,The Last Emperor and Common.
    Also people who defend new school rap and mumble rap,their argument is that it's catchy which is as vague as being lyrical.

    bs. Tupac couldn't dream of writing some of the s--- that eminem writes.
    This is a terrible hill to die on and even non Eminem fans wont defend you on this.
