i wanted to put this in one of the topics argueing about todays rap but i couldnt find any so i didnt, and its mainly about jjfp so i just put it here so yeah. i dont rmemember the song

whole lot of people rap, but what good is that

If the rap that they're rappin is way off track?

I don't mean to attack you, but I'm cuttin no slack

To those people that I hear saying meaningless raps

In actuality, I mean in reality

The words that you use are a mere formality

Vocabulary is not what it's about

The point that you're tryin to get across is what counts

Cause when a lot of rappers rap, they try to use big words

But that's the most absurd thing I've ever heard of

They think that that's impressive, but when will they learn their lesson

That it's not the words that count, it's the message

They get a lot of big words out of some magazine

And nine times out of ten they don't even know what they mean

They stand up on the stage, huffin and puffin

Rappin for nearly an hour, but they're not sayin nothin

Really but a lot of jibberish

And I know that they all wish

They had access to fresh rhymes like this

I came to rock and shock and give my all, which is a lot

And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm takin it to the top

Damn that's nearly from nearly 20 years ago and those words are basically what I'm saying now, the game just has more hype than ever 'cause rap is more famous now :word:

Another line that's still relevant when it comes to Will compared to the other mcs that're just about hype:

"After ever rapper tells you jump

I'm gonna give you what you really want"

I like raps with big words though :kekeke: these days you would be lucky to hear them everythings so dumbed down :word:

Rapping is a lyrical art form so there is nothin using big words and multisyllabic rhymes but the problem is as FP points out that ppl try to sound smart by doing these things. I believe that a perfect rapper can use " big words" and point out a message to ppl at the same time.But sometimes you dont need big words or complex rhymes to make a good verse, for example FP made the 2nd verse of "tell me why" stand out really well for the emotion and honesty.
