Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[iamdef]

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.

lyrical miracle always meant focus on lyrics and depth of word choice

“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

Frankie is not the same...They're having to slow the music down so he can reach his pitch..

I did a Gala last year and Jeffery Osborne was the headliner...Bruh, he songs the same...

The prior year when I had Eddie Sr. perform...he was overcoming a cold (he did all his songs but ....) I can't give a true judgement on that.

This is a bad thing?

No. Why would it be?

To me lyrical miracle means you aren't entertaining

Of course that's subjective.

Lyrical Miraclemusic
A rapper who is too abstract, often tries to fit way too many words in a line, rhythmstruggles, freestyles too much...

a lot of lyrical miracle dudes lose sight of what "sounds good" because all they hear is how dope the quadruple entendre was

 

[Maximus Meridius]

No. Why would it be?

There are people that say stuff like "I don't want to hear lyrical/miracal rappers".


It's the other extreme of "all todays rappers are trash mumble rappers.

 

[numbah1grimey]

To me, lyrical myrical means your wrote down your raps in a composition book.

And no matter what beat the engineer cued up, you rapped. Even if you wrote a song that’s 8 minutes, but the beat is 4:27 seconds.

You’re recording the song come hell or high water.

I mean a lot of people listen to music to be entertained and/or to dance and a lot of lyrical dudes just want to show off their lyrical prowess and that can be less entertaining.

Wu-Tang trash.

Who’s man is this

 

[bodeine brazy]

I listened to Liquid Swords a few times. Wasn't feeling it.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I only consider a few people lyrical miracle rappers. Em, Canibus, GZA. You don’t really see it like you used to, though.

Doesn’t even matter if the line really makes sense, long as you got like 8 compound syllable rhymes in that joint and a reference to the ozone layer or earth’s atmosphere changing when you spit or some nonsense.

Jay Elec be toeing the line sometimes.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Wu-Tang trash.

I rebuke you

 

[harlemtothebronx]

 

[nawghtyhare]

That's not the heated one. That's the polo jeans co one.

Either way both versions trash

I thought so too
But I think it’s the other one
Video quality is trash so I can’t see when I pause the logo

 

[nawghtyhare]

Wu-Tang trash.

Maybe he means some
If wu tang was just
Gza rza meth rae and ghost
I wouldn’t be mad at it

Might be one of the greatest acronyms ever
