"its supply and demand, when the supply wasn't really as big as it is now, rappers could take their time making albums, take time writing their darts (lyrics) make sure everything was fresh, and only dope emcees got deals back then cuz rap wasn't huge so only the nice would be successfull, now that demand is at an all time high, its more of what can i get out faster then the next man, so its gon to quanity over quality in a since. The great ones have the cockyness to know their albums are so dope that they way ahead of their time so they can take time making the next one cuz the last one was so good it'll have a long shelf life, but the ones without that cockyness just drop joints, that are without question lyrically horrible" I agree for the most part.

That is one factor......of many......

yeh, back in the day when albums was made for the lryics has long gone, some payed pop-poet writes the shit.

Word ... That shit is true in the mainstream now a days

I totally agree..

The Emcees these days are terrible.
Their lyrics sound like they didn't put any time or dedication into it.

amen

i eat tacos.

And part of the wisdom of the dynasty of WU lives on to drop more knowledge not in a rap but a interview....

Bless

Shit, aint none of you guys even heard of Kurtis Blow.

How can you say shit was great back then if you aint even know the half of it?

Fucking ignorant, that's all.

Yeah, pisses you off when a masterpiece like Ras Kass' "Soul On Ice" is shifted off the shelves cos of content but something like Get Rich Or Die Tryin' goes 6x platinum

i think under ground has better lyrics morso than mainstream but then again another opinionated topics
