what to you determines how nice a rapper is? do punchlines factor in more than flow? does voice play a bigger part than charisma? does the beat play a factor at all? i'll offer my insight after i see a couple of posts ..

louis logic is another example of consistent multis. he reminds me alot of eminem, especially on his album sin-a-matic - from his lyricism to his rhyme schemes to his abstract concepts .. him, eminem, and fabolous are the three rappers that consistently string together 6-7 syllable multis without sounding forced ..

i prefer rappers that speak on something that is important rather than just craft rhymes for the sole purpose of rhyming over a beat (but sometimes i just like to listen to some nice rhymes). that's why immortal tech is one of my favorites. dude sayin some stuff that people need to hear.

immortal technique is alllright. ever since he gained popularity after the green lantern mix of bin laden he was been relying on his gimmick of 'shock rap' to get big. same reason i don't like dead president, they are being controversial and sacraficing knowledge for the shock factor. im all for social commentary but what dead prez and immortal technique are saying is just stupid.

i like hearing multis, a good story, and wordplay. If you a rapper could throw a bunch of multis into a story and play around with some words

completely unrelated but have you heard joe budden's 3 sides of a story? since you like good story telling tracks .. me personally storytelling tracks cant keep my attention for too long






anyways .. i love punchlines ..
