Good flow saves bad lyrics (content)
Good lyrics (content) doesn't save bad flow
See these fans can't resist the rush,
they Wu-Tang for life
Scarred for life,
they can't forget the cuts

Though Souljahboy can't flow for shit either! I'd gladly take more artists with zero content but amazing flows - if everyone was flowing like Das EFX mixed with DOC mixed with Busta Rhymes mixed with Fu-Schnickens it'd be like  :o :o even if they never said shit

I picked flow because thats what really gets my ear when I listen to a rapper

when I listen to old Snoop like you said he wasnt saying much but the way he said was dope 8)

that's one of the things that was missing on Tha Doggfather imo.

dope thread. something i've been thinking about recently!

i tend to listen to rappers for the sound of how they flow over a beat. but as others have said, it's a package because the attitude, story, beat, flow and lyrics need to fit together on a track to make really dope music.

i cannot listen to so many "conscoius" rappers who sound clever but really just put together a bunch of tight punchlines masquerading as sophisticated politics or releigion that really in the end is just powder puff rhetoric like so many so called "lyricists" out there.

The only "conscoius" rappers i can listen to are the few who put themselves on the line and give you a bit of personal and genuinely soulful music. there aint too many about though!!!

the problem with bishop isnt his flow, its his voice and personality. plenty of people can rock a slow/generic flow cause they have the charisma to go with it. lamont.. doesnt. atleast from what I've heard from him.

To me, it's like asking what more important for an NBA player? Offence or diffense? Well, of course you gotta have both! However, if you gotta pick one it's gotta be offense. And in terms of rap - flow.
But the greatest ones (both rappers and NBA players) always have both skills, hands down.

Yep,the vocals is just another instrument to should enhance the beat/instrumental

I cannot listen to so many "conscious" rappers who sound clever but really just put together a
bunch of tight punchlines masquerading as sophisticated politics or religion that really
in the end is just powder puff rhetoric like so many so called "lyricists" out there.

Well these rappers that label themself "conscious" is usually boring as fuck,they have no passion behind their delivery what so ever.

That's all a matter of opinion though. Those three you just mentioned are considered great artists by many people.
