Finally sitting down to listen to this Papoose and there's so much of a focus on showcasing talent and lyrical ability the songs don't sound that good

 

[iamdef]

The Golden Child is the worst executed song I've heard in a while. Sentimental but boy is the written badly

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Numerical Slaughter kinda hard. Feel like I should stop listening now.

 

[iamdef]

Numerical Slaughter is only "good" because what he's doing is difficult and he does it well. I respect them first 2 tracks.

Golden Child and Precious Jewel are written so basic they sound like he's never rapped before

 

[iamdef]

Might just be me. NY dudes just sound out of place talking about they emotions outside of anger

 

[Peep Game]

Same with Luda IMO, around 2006 ‘Release Therapy’, complete switch up, didn’t have that same swag still put out decent stuff though

Yep. Back For The First Time, World Of Mouf, and some of Chicken and Beer are entirely different than most of his albums that came afterwards. They lacked that swag and fun his first albums had. His 2015 album is probably the closest to “old Luda” that we’ll get.

this applies to every lyrical miracle rapper.

Things changed once he started acting and his attention shifted from music to movies. He seen them dollars

Before I Let You Go...

Honestly I’m not a big fan of that song

I skip it every time. And Maze is my favorite group of all time.

Never was a fan of his.

He's the child of Canibus to me.

Ghostface?

DMX?

You think RZA is a lyrical/miracle rapper?

Speaking of Doom, this joint was always pretty chill

RZA don't even rap on beat, nothing is lyrical about him.

“You use to be my dawg, you was in my left titty (pause)”

We ain’t homies no more... that song is a masterpiece.

Frankie Beverly, Jeffrey Osborne, Teddy Pendergast or Eddie Levert... I’d love to have one of their singing voices

 

[kickvicisous]

I think he meant GZA, either way I was never a fan of that "lyrical/miracle" terminology when it came to hip-hop. Feels like your being criticized for being nice as **** on the mic.

It's a lot of Eminem stans like that.

 

[numbah1grimey]

You think RZA is a lyrical/miracle rapper?

RZA is verbose as hell bruh. Plus he can’t ride a beat. So, yeah, IMO

 

[Grine]

Canibus, immortal technique, MF Doom type dudes, Vinnie Paz, RZA

I might need to re-evaluate that...

However that Bobby Digital album was good.

 

[iamdef]

Who is a lyrical miracle rapper?

Royce

Never was a fan of his.

He's the child of Canibus to me.



Ghostface?

DMX?

I'm not a fan of him either, just wanted to give the album a spin.

Haven't heard enough from Ghost but DMX yea.

Nah, GZA was nice. I meant RZA, lol

GZA and Inspectah deck were lyrical and could actually make songs.

RZA was trash

 

[kickvicisous]

Looks like the answer will vary, I always thought 'lyrical/miracle' were for MC's who focused HEAVILY on complex rhymes with deeper meanings. I never associated that with RZA



EDIT: RZA is my guy by the way, not an insult at all and he has his moments
