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 ..

People don't really listen to lyrics now days. It's more than "oh i just like this beat." I hated when people say there favorite rapper is so and so and can't remember the lyrics but only like there beats. :|
But who i like is the conscience rappers like Talib, Common Sense aka Common, Jean Grae (one of the best female rapper out to date), lupe, Mos Def, Nas and Jay-Z. People say they don't like them....why? Because they don't understand what they're talking about. It sucks that a lot of Rappers that i call "crappers" have to dumb down everything to get radio play and airplay. ![]() |

J5 was on MTV at one point. (But I catch ya drift.)

Yeah. i remember BET/MTV use to play them all the time. But shit don't see that anymore. I refuse to watch either station. Sending a bad vibe to people that don't know Hip-hop but thinks that what it was all about. yeah they had some likes but they didn't get aired as much. But when 1999 came it was over. |
