Are you a beat or lyrics type?
« on: July 19, 2002, 03:29:36 PM »
You know how it goes.
I really can't decide on either.
I dont wanna listen to Nellys gay lyrics, even if the beat is tight.
On the other side, I dont wanna listen to Ras Kass's dope lyrics if he's on a boring as hell beat.
Even if the lyrics is some hi-tech shit, you will get bored after a couple of times.

The ultimate would be advanced lyrics on a multi-layered beat, so that neither the beat nor the lyrics will become boring.

I'm into 'em both a lot, but overall I prefer tha beat over tha lyrics. If this was back in '96 maybe I'd have a different opinion.

All about the lyrics for me.
I would rather excellent lyrics on a simple drum beat than average lyrics on a really dope beat.

yup lyrics for me too. The beat doesnt get the message across in the tune, the lyrics do.

i honestly look for the beat first.......cuzz if the track aint making my head go up and down.........i start to dislike it......but sometimes the lyrics can just take over and make seem like if theres no beat needed.

it may all depend too......cuzz like for me at home i rather listen to lyrics

well im out on the streetz i need a tight beat wit some bomb bass to make headz turn..............also at the clubs u need songs wit some tight beats! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So would you rather have Ras Kass or Common rapping dope lyrics over a beat where Snoop is farting, smoking and saying ooh-wee, than hear e.g. Mack 10, Shade Sheist or some other average rapper on a BOMB Dre-beat?

The beat is important, then its the flow... then the hook, then the lyrics but they all got to make me react

WTF? That doesnt make any sense what u said about snoop farting and shit. I didn't know  snoop started making beats for people, where he farts and says ohh wee.

All i said is i'd rather hear someone spiting great lyrics over a basic beat. Than hear an average rapper rapping over a mad dre beat. Simple as that, thats how i like my hip hop.
