I think people who hate similes and wordplay are ruining rap discourse.
Imagine this thread about Carter 3 “Wayne spamming similes, I’m rare like Mr clean with hair? Really?
cringe”
They been dissing Wayne’s lyricism since c4 btw
Once you start listening out for the “like” the raps go from being clever to sounding lazy.
Him also rhyming the same word line after line after line becomes a chore to listen to after a while.
I don’t know why he couldn’t pack Iceman with 18 songs with structures like What Did I Miss, Plot Twist and National Treasures.
Is it ok to critique the album in anyway mr 2words?
It is but I feel like people are taking it to extremes. I especially disagree with the practice of picking punchlines out of an album, typing them on the internet and crying about them acting like it’s some late career Eminem tier s***. Because we can do that with a lot of classic rap albums. I don’t f*** with the cringe Olympics that these new kids brought to rap
Not even trolling
In your view, what are some examples of good lyricists, songs that are really good lyrically that have come out recently
Elucid I Guess U Had to Be There out now
The greater than everybody like shredded cheese line is something Wayne would have said post Rikers but we also probably would have groaned at that lol
It’s honestly a step more subtle and clever than Wayne’s usual punches but sure

What if people that have been drake fans since ‘09 can pinpoint that the pen has just not really been the same?
I see the Kbots are at it again... I can tell you had to google what a simile is lmao bros trying to sound smart by using fancy terms but no ones falling for it again.
Drake is the lifeblood of this dying forum
Almost like the forum talking bout the new album that just dropped

I don’t believe them or trust them about rap at that point. His pen now is miles better than it ever was. The Make Them songs are his best rapping

i used to play the s*** out of that song like it was going out of style
And I'm brainless, which means I'm headless
Like Ichabod Crane is
Or foreplay-less s***is, which makes me saneless
With no neck left to hang the chain with
Which makes me necklace-less, like a necklace theft
And I ain't used my headrest yet
They said they need proof like a vestless chest
Genius.
Think Drake is a great lyricist who does a great job of balancing getting his s*** off while still maintaining some level of pop sensibility.
The low hanging fruit bars is literally by design
Ditto for guys like Lil Wayne, Big Sean, etc.

now that Drake is back and the "Dot Era" is over, surely everyone else in rap will do good numbers now right...right?
