Regan B they don’t realize pac was ahead of his time. Them kids have no feel for real artistry

[@VintxgeAmor]

Ronald Penn Just did some research, turns out some dude made a video saying Pac and Biggie are overrated. So obviously kids nowadays can’t think for themselfs so they just see a video and copy it, sheep man.

[@YourBudTevin]

That lupe fiasco bar was so advanced it went over his head. Koopa is bowser, and he falls in fire at the end of super Marlo bros, which explains the “thats only if you’re super, dawg” line. Hot damn.

[@boomidctv6017]

"Your favorite rappers corpses couldn't measure my importance" iconic line

[@LeadSwitchKick]

I wish y'all would put the name of the artist that wrote the lyrics AFTER the 'reviewer' has read them out loud. At least for me, I always get a bit biased when I see that it's written by someone that's dope. I like to play that guessing game too! Just my thoughts, though.

It hurt my heart when he rated Ice cube a 3. If only he knew it wasn't written In 2018 And then he called Lupe Basic 😂 Lupe's about to write a 5678 bar diss track to Reason 😂😂

[@paulm394]

Jay Sephus I lowkey think he didn’t catch the ‘i always has flow(floor)’ then the bar w added ceiling walls and a door

[@matthewsmith635]

He didn’t call Lupe basic - he called that particular line basic. Which was read out of context

[@db4582]

Matthew Smith If he called the line basic. And Lupe spit the lines. Then he called Lupe basic. The same way he took off 2 points because Cube rhymed dolla with holla 20yrs ago. But this is 2018. You cant rhyme that. Smh

[@DarkDragon1223]

people sleep on rocky's assonance and internal rhymes

[@DarkDragon1223]

@vmm12 rocky infusing his swagger, coolness, and personality into his word choice makes his rhymes more than the sum of its parts. combining technicality with pathos and emotion is a sign of an experienced MC.

Blake Woolfolk When you command your dog to do assaults, you say “ SICK EM “ so that was also a metaphor. Not the most complex line but in terms of metaphors its easily better than anything else in this video lmao.

You're so amazed by metaphors, He's good. But the thing is some people rate by personal thoughts. Me, I also rate Lupe low. Cause he's doing simply for simple minded folks who gets amazed easily. Aka in my book as trying too hard. You should be able to bounce back and forth and do simple shit mixed with complex and it doesn't all need 3triple meanings. That's called fake deep

[@jacobrobinson8310]

Agon Leed I’m amazed by metaphors because it’s a literary device that most rappers either underuse or don’t use properly. It’s the part of writing that shows ability outside of structure and performance. Coding messages for greater impact is a lot harder than spoon-feeding an audience. That’s why I’m impressed. Miss me with the fake deep shit. Lupe was t even trying to deep he was being clever. Deep is when he weaves socio-political commentary into his bars and creates layers of significance. Yes I’m impressed by all of that shit.
