They really just have to put more effort into their verses/delivery and develop some wit. Yeat and Carti have quotable verses. Even just writing full coherent verses would be a massive improvement

I'm on the phone with my demon
poured a 3 in that b****, that b**** bleedin
mix it with the perc b**** i'm leaning
pulled up to the show broke the ceiling
im in NY as high as the building

She ride the d*** like a carnival
Bend her over, havin' flashbacks, she gon' eat me up like a carnivore

It's the way I pop my s***, the hoes not ready, I'm goin' barnacles
Movin', I feel like I'm Jason, can't get arrested, I make 'em stomp, oh

She want a private section, roll off them X's when I'm on Melrose
She tatted my name on her titties, yeah, you can bust it, but it's a borrow

Hol' up, sittin' back, countin' up dubs, I was raised in the borough
She wanna taste it, checkin' the swag today, hoe, come back tomorrow

If you know what I know, hide your hoe
Just off the facts, I'm havin' them hunchos
Runnin' around in the lobby, I know that they tired of me, havin' like ten hoes

She need some cresidentials just to be presidential, hol' up, hol' up
I'm 'bout to buy her some dentures
Make that ho eat me for dinner, whoa, whoa

Pain all in my eyes, I can't see, huh
I'm 'bout to jump out my body, I'm ready to leap, uh
I'm 'bout to nut on her body and tell the hoe leave, 'kay
Fifty mill' stuffed in the bag, tell the whole gang eat, uh

It's Ye and Barti, tell me, who f***in with we?
I'm hot like Tha Carter, I'm feelin' that ho in my sleep

Dollar signs all in my dreams, I don't never see Z's, whoa, whoa-whoa
That swag cover my body like it's a disease, whoa, whoa-whoa

Dollar signs all in my dreams, I don't never see Zs
that swag cover my body like it's a disease

What niggas don’t understand is.. they are hoes that like lyrics too

Hoes love J Cole more than men do

Paris Texas 🔥🔥🔥

Being super technical as a lyricist is cope. The real mark of a good lyricist for me is quotability and being able to paint a picture with your words. I think future and thug are lyrical

so many chains, it's like a turtleneck under my chin,
I'll learn to speak another language if it makes sense/cents

Nobody actually loves j cole

Ima make em lose count if they addin up the total
after i f***, lemme cry on yo shoulder..

Future is a poet. Look at the juxtaposition and bathos he's using in that. the way he seamlessly shifts from false bravado as part of his rapping persona, to shameless vulnerability. This is good writing in any other genre, but since he's not talking about the pyramids and ancient hieroglyphics ya'll treat him like he's chump

great song

Only in rap does lyricism have to only be this self-masturbatory nerdy thing

Sopranos avatars doing Sopranos avatar things itt

rasta zoolander got jokes

Jersey is a dump. Stiller runs the Big Apple

Said no real new yorker lol

North Jersey is family and one of the last bastions of authentic new york culture. That's where your extended family lives if you're from the city and working/lower middle class

Zoolander runs SoHo and nothing else

Can argue this a cope lol

White cacs like this lead to the dumbing down of rap

I appreciate Joe Budden/Drake-style lyricism. I.e. basic personal storytelling and not just random psuedo intellectual hotep slop

I want to hear your story, not about "society" unless you have a genuinely fresh take

I black papi

what are you talking about man smdh
