What it takes to be an elite emcee
1. Vocabulary (JAY-Z, NAS ,EM)
It helps you with song writing, hooks and most definitely free styling and lyrical content.
If you have a limited vocabulary you will be limited lyrical.Notice that the three examples i gave are older men with large vocabs.

2. Delivery (SNOOP, JADA KISS, T.I., ICE CUBE, EM) at times (lose yourself for example)
Delivery can make or break you quick SNOOP is very limited lyrically but the way he says it what that cool matter of fact style gets him over.T.I. is a better lyricist than most but his delivery sets him apart for the average emcee.

3.Flows (LUDACHRIS, JAY-Z )
The ability to change up the way you rhyme can also set you apart LUDA and JAY-Z have so many different flows it seems as if every beat they rhyme on was made for them. unlike Jada he has a super delivery but sounds the same on every song.

4. Charisma (SNOOP 50CENT JAY-Z )
If fans don't feel you they can gave a damn about what you are saying ras kass is a super emcee but people really don't feel him thus they don't buy his music.Unlike SNOOP and JAY
they give off the impression that they are the coolest people in the room and they are received that way.

PLEASE give me feed back on this post on if you agree and also if you have other attributes.

ha if you know all this why dont you do it.....
fuck opinions kiddo,...do YOUR THING.....

I agree with what your points are and why they're important, but I don't agree with a single one of your examples that you cited as far as rappers.

yup thats tru, agreed

I was only giving examples of a single quailty most of the emcee's i named
are not elite emcees to me. the only elite emcee's to me are
JAY-Z, NAS, EM, BIGGE, PAC. For this genertion anyway if you wanna include old school emcee's i whould have to add RAKIM, KOOL G RAP, ICE CUBE, BIG DADDY KANE. And to answer the question as to why i don't do it myself if i know all this is simple as the person who asked the question. Just because you know what it takes don't mean you have the talent, connections or the will to get it done.
Or maybe i'am just in the process.

T I

SNOOP

NAS

AND EM


= lamest rappers of the past year

all had horrible albums
