To wordplay or not to wordplay

(1/3) > >>

bostonboy:
For the sake of keystyle with no beat wordplay seems fine and all, but if you read the lyrics of any mainstream rapper, or even those from pharoahe monch, youll notice lack of wordplay and sometimes really simplistic rhymes... in my opinion the voice of the rapper and general flow to a solid beat is what makes rappers go big time... I believe that if all rap on this board was done on audio, peoples beliefs on who was best would change drastically..... any opinions on this??

ill natural:
alot of really dope textcees suck when it comes to audio... on here theres a lot of stress on multis and alot of cats even sacrifice their flow for the sake of their multis... i dont do audio but i do battle offline.. and whats imprtant is the flow, delivery and if you're battling then the punches. cats aint gonna pay props at some strung together multis if your flow is off and your punches weak.

I believe that if all rap on this board was done on audio, peoples beliefs on who was best would change drastically
thats anywhere man... audio is very different to text... shit has to sound good over a beat.

thats exactly why when I write I like to keep shit plain.  

bostonboy:
I wrote this for the most part because I take shit for little wordplay in my spits and battles... I dont drop audio online because i lake the hardware at the moment but I do almost all my work on mics and hardly ever recieve critisism for it, cept for when im in here.... I understand how things work and all I just wanted people to understand rappin for more than just text without instramentals

Juda:
i strongly agree, if there was a beat with most keystyles, the votes would change.
