rhymes. rhymes. lyrics.

"I wonder if yall still like this rap shit man, or if yall motherfuckers only like beats and hooks..." Crooked I

he's so right.

lyrics are important, u right. i aint a beatmaker or no shit like that, i spit...so obviously they important to me. but think about it, how many hits have good beats....and bad lyrics, and how many have good lyrics....with bad beats? its almost always the first. Like Mitch said..."Production is most important". U could drive around town in yah car bumpin nuthin but a beat, and still be bobbin yah head...still have otha people bobbin they head, but u wouldnt drive around jus listenin to some lyrics, and no beat.

lol did the topic say what is more important if you wanna sell-out? or what is more important for the superficial majority of our population?
No.
question was, what's more important to me. so screw hits. songs that are hits to me, always have great lyrics.
it's also a difference if youre just listening to a song while doing some other stuff, in that case the beat will be more important since you only get music on its surface then. but if you really get into a song, really feeling it.. to me the lyrics are significantly more important then. and I bobbed my head to a capellas already, no shit.




i aint talkin about sellin out fool. im just showin what most people are into. if i make a cd, i want people to buy the shit....u know? wouldnt u? it doesnt mean u sell out, it means u understand. Production is everything. ive heard some of tha tightest lyricist that you would have never known cus they aint even make it out the city...why, cus they production was burnt. like i said, im into my lyrics n shit...but i know if i dont find the right beat to spit over, my lyrics wont even be heard. the beat is the first thing u hear on a song, it determines whether u even listen long enough...to hear the lyrics. its coo if u into lyrics more than the beat, but yo system must sound wack when u pull up to the light...wit nuhn but lyrics and no beat lol

so we talkin about marketing right now? if you wanna get your music sold, you have to look at what the majority likes. that are the beats. yes. but as I said before my dear fool, the question, daygo, was what I like.

and to me the lyrics are way more important. I could care less if ppl buy the music I like or not. lol.. what a crazy argument that is.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

When your listening to music what do you first look for in order to say a track is dope? Do you listen for the beat and the rythym or do you listen to the lyrics and the flow? I personally [...]

you owe me an apology.. talkin extra large shit..
youre so damn sonned :D

plus... you aint got skillz, Im not so suprised you aint got deals.. you wont make it as an MC with that attitude.

well I'm not suprised you wont say "sonned" since you basically never son anybody homie - but I do.
ooohhh yea right, I dont even know your shit  :-X  - but I know your attitude... and I cant imagine you spittin quality shit with such a attitude. I know what Im talking about. you cant argue that - unless you'd post some of your shit - which you wont - since you aint got skillz. it's that simple.
first, in the car it's a different story since you'll rather only listen to music on its surface there. but still, you aint got nothin at me dude, let me enjoy what I like.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin
