Lyrically, he probably the one of the worst rappers ever. His flow and voice/delivery is good though.

Warren does have a dope flow and voice, which matches perfectly with the laid back beats that he creates for himself. Lyrically is definitely nothing special but he doesn't try to be, at least he always stays on beat, and you can always actually understand what he is saying.

Warren's tight.  He can tell a story very very well in his flows.  I can't hate on any aspect of it, even lyrically he's decent most of the time.  50 cent is the biggest thing out right now, and lyrically I'd say warren g's better than 50.  It's all about flow, style, attitude, charisma.  If it wasn't, Ras Kass would be the #1 video on bet right now.  Nobody cares about lyrics, they care about the beat of a song, and that's music, and that's rhythm of your voice.  Warren G has the beat down in all aspects of it.  


His storytelling songs are off the hook, like This D.J., Regulate, etc.   I love his flow, love the lyrics, love everything about him

He's simple.. that's WHY.
He can be pretty nice, but you'll never hear him busting a Ras Kass line or a Pharoahe Monch metaphor..
I think Dr.Dre is a better rapper than him, but that's not to say that Warren can be dope some times.

And he fits good to his own production so he doesn't sound out of space.

Dre is a better rapper than him, but lets be real, Dre is pretty damn good.  People act like simple lyrics kill you, I stand by my position - Good rappers have a good beat, not good lyrics.  People weren't bumpin' the beastie boys because they had awesome lyrics, or marly marl, or big daddy kane, or even nwa.  It's all about attitude, delivery, the beat, your flow, the least important thing is lyrics.  Dre's a bad-ass rapper, I don't care if he dont' write his stuff, his flow is NICE.  Same with Warren G.  

You're right about his production, too, warren produces perfect for himself.  so funky

Big Daddy Kane is held up with Rakim as the greatest lyricist of the 80's.

Marley Marl is known as a super producer never a dope MC.

Ice Cube is seen as one of the best lyricists of all time.

Just wanted to make those clear but I agree lyrics aren't everything. It has to be balanced.

i think it was hi-tek who said a producer who makes a beat for themselves and raps on it won't be able to find a better verse from someone else.

ya lyrics are important but there's way more about a rapper than just the lyrics.. i think the way people rate Dre's rappin is str8 up hatin..it was once brought up that he couldn't rap cuz he don't write his lyrics and from then on people would think u GOTS to rate him a wack rapper.. it's really funny how people call him wack and u can easily tell they don't even know shit about lyrics cuz of other statements they make..

i like Warren G's rappin.. a VERY important aspect is that rappers know how to flow over beats.. Dre and Warren definatly know how to flow over their beats

I prefer Warren to Dre anyday. Dre's verses normally ruin the flow of a track, for example on Hello, Cube and Ren kill the beat, and then Dre sort of slurs his verse through. Dre does actually sound like your dad when he is taking the piss out of rap and that is not a good thing. Dre can come tight sometimes but it all depends on who is writing his lyrics for him, my favourite Dre verse outside of his own albums is probably on NWA's Chin Check where he does actually rip the beat up, but that is probably cause Cube or Ren wrote the verse for him. Throughout most of 2001 he just sounded lazy.

u can dislike Dre's flow but it does NOT normally ruin a track..

on Bitch Please II for example he ripped it especially when he sais 'You and what Army could hArm me?
dRe and shAdy wit dOggy from lOng Beach'

he also ripped California Love and back in tha NWA days he ALWAYS came off dope

as for 2001.. Still D.R.E. is (as for verses) a Dre solo and it's prolly the best track of that classic album (I know Jay wrote it but that's not what I'm talking about) although there's so many dope guest artists

Big Egos is just a slow track.. that's why both Dre and Hitt flowed slow..

Fuck You, The Watcher were dope too and his flow on Forgot about Dre was dope too plus u can see he CAN flow fast.. it's just not his usual style.. there's many catz that always be flowing slow and still sound dope

Warren is mad dope on his verses. True, his lyrics are sometimes wack...especially on Regulate...but he gets better with age :D

He's laid back and funny and I'd rather hear warren rap than some ultra-energetic-gangstas with average lyrics.
