Kanye West: >She find pictures in my email >I sent this bitch a picture of my dick >I don't know what it is with females >But I'm not too good at that shit >Eatin' Asian pussy, all I need was sweet and sour sauce >Now, if I fuck this model >And she just bleached her asshole >And I get bleach on my T-shirt >I'ma feel like an asshole
Kendrick Lamar: >How much a dollar really cost? >The question is detrimental, paralyzin' my thoughts >Parasites in my stomach keep me with a gut feeling >You're lookin' at the Messiah, the son of Jehova, the higher power >The choir that spoke the word, the Holy Spirit, the nerve >Of Nazareth, and I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost >The price of having a spot in Heaven, embrace your loss, >I am God"
Holy shit rap “lyrics” all suck. Rap is the only genre I’ve gone from hating as a kid, to thinking I had “grown up” into finally enjoying, to realizing that actually it really is shit and I was right the first time. And yeah, I get that the apparent point of this thread is that Lamar is better than Kanye, but Lamar’s lyrics sucked too. I feel like all the different styles of music, even the ones I don’t listen to or even actively dislike, have brought something interesting to the table, but rap honestly just completely sucks and if all rap disappeared tomorrow it wouldn’t be a big loss for music.

Can you have an opinion that isn’t generic memes?

Oh and I know what you might say, “but [x genre] (probably rock) also has cringe lyrics” but the difference is those other genres aren’t outright defined by their lyrical style. Nobody listens to instrumental hip-hop except white hipster posers, because the truth is it sucks and isn’t interesting to listen to. Rap is an entirely lyric based genre full of nothing but crappy lyrics. It’s like if there was a genre based entirely on guitar solos, but the only people who played it were one-armed amputees who had never seen a guitar in their life. How the fuck has there never been a good rap lyricist in the history of the genre?

kanye look lik egg haha :)

Rap is literally one giant meme. There is not a single redeeming quality of the whole shitty genre

Kendrick Lamar: >AR RING GING GING >AR RING GING GING >AR RING GING GING >AR RING GING GING >WISH MY DICK GREW BIG AS THE EIFFEL TOWER
but but but old rap was so much better! Take lil tyrone's smash hit "bix nood". Let me quote a few of the lyrical poetic verses for you
>ooga booga >shieeet cash money >muh dik pimpin' hoes >smoke weed in da hood >fuck nigga nigga >

I don't really believe in God But God, I'm scared to death of God I swear to God, I never meant to spill the beans Nor tear the pod I hike an acre unimpressed and slept on the saber's edge Enough times to splice anti-Christ's favorite pledge I wanna know myself Sorta solo sheep amidst wolves And still my shepherd can't administer The proper push and pulls I push the ghouls to man overboard Pull the bulls onto my sword And buckle down in a corner chair with a round table floor
So can you explain why the lyrics are bad? And what are your criteria for good lyrics and instrumentals?
Joseph Powell
Side winders wind through fried wires In a room of hired primates climbing on typewriters Trying desperately to organize an alphabet in prose That would render them in drastically exaggerated roles I know I shouldn't care and I'm too old to play the dozens But admittedly I visualize some ultimate comeuppance with Heads on pikes and pikes on walls and hell bound knights who deny all involvement, it's awful
Camden Johnson
Ye is a meme
Brody Flores
A worthwhile meme
Gabriel Garcia
if u like rap ur a faggot lol without melody music is fucking pointless
These lyrics suck too. Lots of words that ultimately mean nothing.

Hi, I'm a baboon I'm like a man, just less advanced and my anus is huge Hey, I'm a zebra No one knows what I do, but I look pretty cool Am I white or black? I'm a lion cub, and I'm always getting licked (Meow!) How's it going? I'm a cow (Moo!) You drink milk from my tits (Moo) I'm a fat, fucking pig
Owen Gray
is this pasta
Oliver Edwards
stop cherrypicking this bullshit, instead of trying to go full contrarian and use kanye's worst lyrics then why not use his best lyrics like on jesus walks if you're cherrypicking kendrick's best

My mother passed and I didn't cry Denied was the laugh Wasn't I? Didn't she? Would we get along if I pass? In heaven things are as they seem on earth You need a reason to breathe Don't you, church? Leaving Satan's breath Just to take a step in the right direction Going against the absolutely Might want to question it My life has to end But I am inside of the death wish To get it again I'm trying to end up living again If I'm living do I die again And I can be visiting him The him of my grin

Listen to downtempo then.

My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge That hurt you in your head whether you're a fag or lez A homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest Pants or dress, hate fags? The answer's yes
Cause if I ever stuck it to singer in showbiz It'd be Jennifer Lawrence And Puffy you know this I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a fuck if this chick was my own mother I'd still fuck her with no rubber and cum inside her And have a son and a brother at the same time And just say that it ain't mine

All I see here is Kanye being the genuine goof he is while Kendrick's just an angry manlet grabbing the low hanging fruit.
Lincoln Foster
Kendrick's is bloated word salad masking a trivial premise. Kanye's is cruder, but that makes him clearer. Reducing clutter helps Kanye juxtapose narrative elements with more interesting interplay and nuance.
truth is modern popular shit is utter garbage for imbeciles gangster rap is responsible for perpetuating thug nigger culture and corruption of youth
So in essence, they still floodin the streets with the thugs, drugs and the killing They just usin these record labels to do it Takin our hearts off demos, puttin us in limos Tryin to fuck up divine direction But, young black men have been trained to chase money And pussy, so we fall victim to our own erection And begin to convince ourselves we're on our way somewhere where we're not goin But ignorance is bliss and niggas love this so, niggas take pride in not knowin We not growin, nigga I give a fuck how slick you flowin If you ain't showin nuttin to these kids or addin nuttin positive to the earth Black Ice been destined to touch the world ever since I was born To be real, fuck a record deal, God gives me what I'm worth
Kanye doesn't need to pretend to be something he isn't. His lyrics are simple, memorable and have a purpose. A lot of what you wrote for Kendrick is something you can find on any philosophy website, it feels generic. It doesn't really have a meaning, it just sounds interesting.
Blake Taylor
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances And eventually answers to the call of Autumn All of them fallin' for the love of ballin' Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums Based off the way we was branded Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon And at the airport they check all through my bag And tell me that it’s random
Gavin Young
fucking THIS Kendrick feels more like an amalgamated PR campaign than a flesh and blood human bean
[Devin] What the fuck is this thick neck big bitch here Man I should a bought a 16 ounce beer Say big hous, you fucked over me dawg I thought we was cool How in the hell we gonna get these two big bitches in the room
[K.B.] Ha Ha Ha, you fool, stop trippin and just take your clothes off Cause all pussy feel the same when the lights go off
[Devin] Man thats too much pork For just one fork And I'll pass You can't even tell the difference between the stomach and they ass Stretch marks on they titties like a road map Ho slapped, on some Maybelline
[K.B.] But she keep her navel clean And at least these hoes big and cute not big and fucked up You done fucked a skinny ugly ass ho so nigga what's up Don't give a fuck if you fuck these broads nobody knows So just drank and smoke this dank and lets fuck these hoes
