if u take only flow don't be surprise if we have more souljaboy!!
I picked flow because thats what really gets my ear when I listen to a rapperwhen I listen to old Snoop like you said he wasnt saying much but the way he said was dope
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.

I cannot listen to so many "conscious" rappers who sound clever but really just put together abunch of tight punchlines masquerading as sophisticated politics or religion that reallyin the end is just powder puff rhetoric like so many so called "lyricists" out there.The only "conscious" rappers i can listen to are the few who put themselves on the lineand give you a bit of personal and genuinely soulful music.There ain't too many about though!!!
Well these rappers that label themself "conscious" is usually boring as fuck,they have no passion behind their delivery what so ever. (Common,Talib,Mos Def etc.)

(Common,Talib,Mos Def etc.) That's all a matter of opinion though. Those three you just mentioned are considered great artists by many people.
