As Jome said...
Both.

Hiphop IS beats and rhymes.. and the combination is what makes it dope..
That said, a rapper can make a track hot even with a average beat.. and vice versa.. a beat can make even the worst rapper sound good on it
...

this is true some artists its all about the beats...some its about the lyrical content, some its about the flow...

...and if the 3 can be combined as happens with some artists then its all gooood

also a bit of variety on albums..i dont like it where the whole album sounds the same...gotta be interesting...

i love albums that sound the same look at ....Dr. Dre 2001 and Doggystyle and the chronic all have the same basic sound throughout the album thats what makes them so fuckin tight

True but theres a difference between a format and the songs sounding Exactly the same...you know what im meaning...

...doggystyle chronic 2k1 etc didnt sound exactly the saem...just along similiar lines.

The beat has gotta be tight for me to listen to it. The lyrics keep the song interesting. So really, the beat is like the LOOKS of a person and the lyrics are their PERSONALITY.

neither

the overall presentation of the song is most important

somethin i wanted to add to this topic, i wouldn't listen just for a beat or buy an album for the beat because it shows no talent for the rapper just the producer
