DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection

Mainstream/Underground argument (Lets set this str8)

<< < (6/6)

Lincoln:
The problem with a lot of underground rappers is that they lack personality. It's just straight similes/multies with songs that are pointless. Take Copywrite for example. I heard a song of his & thought it had great lyrics. Then I downloaded a few more of his songs hey all sounded the same.

abstruse:
DAAMN trauma, you going at me like i'm a kurupt fan, I ain't. Forgot who said it, but yes, anyone can use 'superwords' but those who use it in a correct manner, shouldn't receive criticism for it. Those who do should, for instance, canabis(not a fan), uses 3 continuous 'superwords' back-to-back, which hurts his flow extremely(thats why he doesn't have one).  Even canabis, recognizes now that in the day he was on another planet with his vocabulary, and that's why he doesn't use them anymore. Also anyone can write a multie, but not everyone can string together 3 or 4 multies back to back, while not forcing them. Give credit where credit's due.

Trauma-san:
^^ I never said long words were bad, I just said that most rappers I've heard use them were forcing them, trying to sound condescending or intelligent.  I think you can say a hell of a lot more with simple words, though, because a lot has to do with flow.  Case in point?

"One, two, Three & to the Four
Snoop Doggy Dogg & Dr. Dre is at the Door"

Simplest fucking POSSIBLE rhyme, and one of the tightest things ever said on wax.  Why? Emotion... Beat... Flow... Charisma... everything that makes a great rapper a great rapper.  SHIT lyrics.  Vanilla Ice was tighter than that lyrically... but when that shit dropped, it blew everybody away because Snoop was the shit.  


Or, look at Rock... rock since the 50's has been using simple simple lyrics, and getting incredible emotion & love from fans over it.  Paul McCartney had a song called "Maybe I'm Amazed"... 3 simple words, but it's genius, because his answer to why he was acting the way he was, was that "Maybe I'm amazed", just thinking about the meaning and possibilities of that 1 phrase made an entire song, and a #1 hit.
