Usually with str8 lyricists, they have a hard trouble forming the idea of a song, with a hook and all that.

How can a rapper be a great lyricist if they can't even conceive of good songs?

How can a rapper be a great lyricist if they can't even conceive of good songs?Do you want to discuss Rick Ross? Speedin is a good song. Is it lyrical? No.Do you want to discuss 50 Cent? In Da Club is a good song. Is it lyrical? No.Do you want to discuss TI? Asap is a good song. Is it lyrical? No.Do you see my definition now? To me lyricism is punchlines and storylines. Something that a person like Joe Budden excels at. But on the other hand, his delivery can be stale and uninspiring, which is another big part of a good song.On the other hand, Method Man's punchlines and storylines may not be as strong, but his delivery creates such an energy on a track that you don't notice the shortcoming.Remember, lyrics (writing) is only one part of a song. You still have other elements like bring the lyrics to life with good charismatic vocals, a good beat selection, and good mixing of the over-all song.
This is why rappers like T.I. will never make a great song.
This is why rappers like Charles Hamilton, T.I., Chamillionaire, Nick Cannon and Juelz Santana will never make a great song.
