Plus his rhyming is adequate at best. What word play is dope? This some simple shit.I think it's a bad idea for him to release this ish.Well it depends how you approach this. When I start listening to a new artist, I'm not expecting the next Eminem hahaha. You have to start from the bottom. So when I say his word play is tight, I'm not comparing him to a legend. Now I don't know who your favorite artist is or what you like but to me it seems that you were expecting another Crooked I, lyrically. Your waaay off, if that's what you thought. He does have some similarity to 50 but I don't really listen to none of his shit anymore so maybe I forgot how he sounds. I can tell the difference.post some dope lines, not saying that you should convince me ( you can't), i'm just curious of your input

See when you talk about clever wordplay I don't know what you're referrng to. Everything I've heard from him is average at best. I don't hear any clever lyrics. He seems to be trying to come off as the next 50 Cent, but 50 Cent came onto the scene with How to Rob. So who exactly does he sound good in comparison to? Where are these songs that I should be paying attention to?
Saying Slim the Mobster is lyrical is embarrassing.

Last I heard 50 was talking about CHicks gimmie hugs, show me some luv and I fell like a lady bug. The dude sounds NOTHING like 50 in my opinion. This shit is the same, when they said that GAME sounded like SHYNE. After a couple of spins and more tracks, people finally heard the difference. Have you heard SLIM talk? Compare it to 50 and you tell me if they sound the same. Obviously they both talk about the same shit. Street gangsta rap and that's probably why you are having a hard time with their vocals. But hey, if that's what you HEAR than its all good. Im not going argue about something stupid like that. Everyone has there own opinion. It's all good.

You didn't want me comparing him to "lyrical rappers" so I was using an example of a "gangsta rapper." Not that I give a fuck about 50 now, but I haven't heard anything from Slim even remotely close to How to Rob. So again, why should we be paying attention to him? Where are these clever lyrics of his? Those lines you posted were lame and some of that shit doesn't even rhyme. What I'm saying is that there's no potential there to even be talking about him or excited about his music.
All I can say is Jake One bringing the heat again.

I understand if you thought the lyrics were lame, but to say they don't rhyme is plain stupid. It's called Assonance lame. You rhyme in between the words instead of the end. Guys like Eminem and Crooked I do it all the fucken time. They don't have to end with the same letter's to rhyme genius. That's what's clever about a RAP. Now im beginning to think you fucken list is fake and you don;t know shit about rhymes. I can easily pick out one of your favorite artist, like 2PAc and show you how SIMPLE some of his rhymes are. I bet you are just a poser and claim you like all these underground artist, just so you can feel good of and think you're a HIP HOP HEAD. HAhah. What a lame.
While I agree with most of what you were saying, I just have to say fuck a key style, I really have no time for net emcees, get behind a mic and record that shit homie. Like you probably know rap is about more than the lyrics on paper, its the delivery, flow, originality, and emotional intensity behind a verse that really makes a great rapper a great artist. You could write the dopest verse in history, but if can't spit that shit right, noone cares
Lol why are you bringing up Nas and Eminem? Aren't you the guy who just said its unfair to compare them? That's why I brought up 50 Cent. To show that Slim hasn't shown the talent of even a "regular gangsta rapper." Even 50 Cent has some clever wordplay. You gotta be pretty ignorant to think its only the last word of a line that matters. Lyrics are about way more than that. For example, Illogic is one of my favorite rappers. And I would say he lyrically shits on someone like Crooked I. But the guy doesn't even use multis most of the time. That verse from 50 is dope for what it is."Bout to get Bobby for some of that Whitney money" --Bobby Brown mooching off of Whitney"Bryan McKnight I can get that nigga Anytime" --Anytime is the name of a Bryan McKnight song"Have Keith sweatin staring down the barrel of my nine" -- Keith Sweat? LMAOGet the references? That's what makes the lyrics clever. He doesn't have to be a master of multis to have clever lines. Now Slim the Mobster on the other hand rhymes like those 3 lines you just made up. So again, what's clever about his wordplay?

But most of that shit is a bad attempt at it. I mean "RECAAALL" and "LAAAWS"? Lol smh if that's your idea of dope.What's funny is I don't even claim to be a hip hop head. There's a lot of people more knowledgeable than me. But I surely know more about lyrics that you do. I actually write lyrics every once in a while. For the fuck of it, here's a keystyle I used in a battle recently:If you're expecting victory I'm this battle's dark horsecomin thru like Chuck D, I SHUT EM DOWN like the narc forceyou had a wet dream you won, guess what? you're still dreaminI jacked off on your ego, now you're "cryin over spilt semen"Obama nigga I'm that handsome bloke, you couldn't win with phantom votescuz I'm stealin the show and this rhyme's the ransom noteso shell out for the tax, its sorta fact you're border wackbroken vending machine flow, this fool tryin ta get his quarter backits the shit packing factory and work's about to startcuz if opinions are like assholes I just tore yours apart (NO HOMO)first I massacre your metaphors with the might of my mental reservoirsthen assassinate your similes with my 16 bar soliloquaysso if you doubt my abilities, you're jumping the gunI facefuck you with the pistol and call it "bumping your gums"but there's nothing to talk out, its a second round knockoutmy shifts over, I pull your hoe card and use it to clockout (SWIPE)Now imo that's a dope verse. Just pretend that I wrote it towards you and say owned
