Have a message in your rhymes, BUT you still need swag... Immortal Technique is a good lyricist...but until he can present hisself better, he's no "great rapper"

When you get into the debate of who's the greatest of all time, I think it hinges upon what core fundamentals people value the most--i.e., freestyling, writing, rapping.

Yeh, there are a few things that make a good emcee. But to me a dope rapper doesnt need to be able to freestyle or battle.
Emcee I support to the death is Royce 59. He cant battle, but I dont sit here and say he is a weak emcee cause of it. Same goes for a few other dope emcees, they are strong in one point, and weaker or even wack at another.

I think this thread should be, whats makes a rapper NOT a rapper. Then we can filter out the reasons why too many emcees getting radio play are wack as fuck and have a huge following.

Alright.......were talking about being a 'rapper'.........not being a muso...

Freestyling is definatly one of the most important parts believe me... if you cant freestyle well............your gonna fuck up eventually... Cause cats will put you on the spot, and your reputation as a performer will be at stake and if you dont deliver then you can basically kiss your street cred goodbye..


Way I see it....... Songs and freestyling are both of equal importance as part of being a rapper.. because a rapper is two things, an artist and an MC... And if you have trouble thinking fast on the spot then put you up infront of a crowd and youll look stupid......

I think he CAN battle

He did shit on D12. He did shit on Mista FAB. With a written disses. Not freestyle battles.

What makes a rapper a rapper? Rapping, and that's the only thing. There are other aspects required for being a good rapper, but being good at rapping is really discouraged against in mainstream society.
