I'm tired of hearing this with no names attached. If you can't say who you're talking about (I still can agree but) I'm not tryna hear it. Js, I didn't catch this full jawn tho maybe he did 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@raymondmarceille7903]

So he is basically saying being lyrical isn't lyrical, or good music, when lyrical songs are literally the hardest songs to make? So for an example he would prefer 6ix9ine over Eminem or lil Wayne? Unless I'm missing something here I really don't understand what he is trying to say... Edit: he said something along the lines of, "rapping about how good you are, and your accomplishments. You can't spell or use vocabulary properly. Wellllll huh.... If you have had accomplishments, it's because you're good at what you do, if you're good at what you do, that means you write songs. Spelling each word. Then using those correctly spelt words, you become a word Smith and bars fly over our heads because of the antantras or however it's spelled, are too lyrical to catch the first time. In other words their English is so good that while your rhyming sentences you add hidden meanings to each sentence that fits on a beat with a flow that sounds good to that specific beat, and you have other songs that do the same, and you're famous for it. Yeah am I lost here? What's going on rn...
