THE OFFICIAL TRAUMA LYRICISM POLL - Em, J, Nas
S.G.V.:
thats the official trauma COMMERCIAL lyricism poll....jay-z isnt even close to the greatest...yall no my views on nas...em is good but not the greatest....so i vote no one
teecee:
Trauma, you seem to have a more diverse knowledge of music that anyone on this site, so i am shocked u dont know that much about Nas! To be honest, while NAs' new album is dope, it may be one of his worst lyrically, or at least WAY behind Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, and Lost Tapes. But ya, Nas has a way with words that noone else has
Jay Z, NAs, And Eminem are all COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, so it is pretty hard to compare them.
-Nas NEVER rarely uses funny little lines or punchlines, and does not have the charisma or flow the other two have.
- Jay Z cant get deep like NAs or Em, and when he tries itt sounds fake and contrived (Song Cry...PLEASE!)
-Em is on another level than these two as far as battling and humour, and his contributions to 8 Mile have renewed my awe for Eminem's ability
To me, this is only a two person contest. Jay has fallen off so far and is so one-dimensional it aint funny!. Shit like this (She saw my necklace and started relaxin/now thats what the fuck i call a chain reaction!) is nice, but it cant touch Eminem or Nas.
I would give best flow and rhyme scheme to Eminem, but Nas takes the lyrics based on his entire career and the fact he has dropped three albums full of incredible lyrics in the past year.
SGV, you are lost man! Just cuz these guys are commercial doesnot mean they are not lyrical! And cuz Nas can't freestyle does ot mean he is not an mc (contrary to what you say!)! Freestyling has nothing to do with lyrics, as the lyrics usually talked about are written.
While Eminem is not always my kind of thing, name another rapper besides these three that touch Em or Nas. I go with Ras KAss, he is the only one that can touch these guys.......

I'm going with Nas. He's released 3 amazing albums in the last year. He's showing some great versatility. He's changing up his delivery (which is important) and he's being creative. Em's close but he can't make an album like Nas (not yet). But I have to say that Em's flow now is insane, one of the best ever, that's right.

Maybe in a freestyle battle. But I'm looking at this poll as who is the all-around emcee right now. I'm sure a guy like Supernatural would serve Nas in an freestyle battle but I doubt will ever see him craft an album like Nas. And I think that he just picked the 3 guys that are at top of the game now.
