The "one take thing" and "not writing it down" thing is impressive the same way we are impressed by great movie scenes that were ad libed and unscripted. It gives it a mystique of being from the ether. It doesn't take away from the body of work if it's not done in that format, but it adds to it if it is done in that format.

[@sunmoon7600]

The number of takes a rapper need to nail a verse is actually relevant. It just shows mastery and speaks volumes to their ability to offer a compelling live performance.

[@ovadoseod]

the core of the question is does doing it in one take affect the quality of the record. When you’ve came up writing your able to map out things In Your mind and have foresight about how to make a verse or song cohesive all the way through(mental practice, building that creative muscle). From that your grow to a point you do t necessarily need to write cause you can envision and edit on the fly in your head. What the guys were talking about with the younger generation and I’ve seen it as an audio engineer. Is they go find a random beat, don’t have any song structure in mind or even know how to count bars and sit in the Stu piecing lines together to the point every verse or song they do sounds the same. They were just trying not to step on coat tails or not make you get guest not want to come by not saying names

[@Harold10ful]

Also it adds to and gives major credibility to you as a word smith and MC. If you didn't know it was one take or wasn't written down before it was recorded it's fine because that is the usual way humans do it. But once you find out the process of someone who has no paper no pen walk in and walk out one time it speaks to the level of genius only a few rappers have ascended to God level rappers like Biggie etc. once people find that out it adds MASSIVE credibility especially when your material comes out way better than someone who sat in front of a notepad for days at a time stuck with writers block. It is definitely way more impressive.

[@edgonzalez5381]

bro yes! I've seen too many of these young dudes come in the studio, and wanna make up the rhyme there on the spot, and punch in after EACH LINE! and wanna add a "chorus" where it shouldn't even go, and as a music lover it's frustrating lol.

@12:00 The reason a recorded one take rap is impressive, is because a lot of artist may miss pronounce a word, lost some breath control, forgot a line, punched in the second half of a verse because it didn’t sound as good as the first ,cause the energy of it fell off etc. these things aren’t at the for front of our minds, but when brought to our attention, knowing what it takes to write, come up with lyrics, remember it then spit it flawlessly?

You think I give af how many takes it took for Pac to do Keep your head up? Or Nas to do One Love or Memory Lane? Or Biggie to do Sky’s the limit? Doing it in one take is very impressive but if it takes multiple takes for you to give me those songs?? Take as many takes as you need. Punches and all. Those records are perfect

I care about spitting a verse in one take because it sounds better, period. It’s a performance. We revere rappers for breath control. When a punch-in isn’t executed well-and often even when it is-you can tell. It disrupts the rhythm.

Nahhhhhhhh hold up...for a minute, the claim was outlandish and sounded crazy..but what everybody on the panel forgetting is that videos were at the 4 min-5 min time frame back then and looking up Heart of the City, the entire song is 3 mins and some change...so for a minute, Guru had me doubting him too...but thats just off pure instinct and we've been in this short song era for a while now so to even remember Fiesta was 4 mins and some change, u gotta do ya googles. Guru got this one tho!
