i wouldn't say either is more important then the other, they're equallyas important. where would tupac and biggie have been if they didn't havethose unique flows, but backed with mad lyrical content. with that sad, eminems older shit, and nas are the best flows in hip hop.straight up, on beat, on point, catchy and understandable.
Eminem's flows got crazier and doper in my opinion as he's gone on - he only had that one battle flow he always used with punchlines on the first couple of albums mainly
Chad: what about some of his earlier work like Resurrection?
What's the purpose of having a tight flow if you are constantly spitting verbal garbage.Same thing with content, you could be saying the realest words ever spoken, but if it sounds like a garbled mess on the beat, I'm not listening.They go hand in hand, ain't no separation for me.
verbal garbage
Itīs all a opinion though,thereīs probably rappers out there that canīt keep your attention either for some reason... be it their content,their flow or voice.
true but they got to be at least wack.
I dont think Common was the best example, Mos Def is
Chad Vader: what Talib album have you heard? because since Reflection Eternal he improved his style pretty much

I'd say it depends on my mood, what I wanna listen to at that moment.But I gotta choose content, cause that's the most important about music for me.
Both. You gotta say some fresh shit (content) while presentin it in a catchy way (flow)Chuuuuch!
Chad Vader: yeah, everyone on this song ripped it, try Ear Drum, I'm sure you'll like it, or just some singles, Hostile Gospel 1 and More or Less
