Who’s the Hip Hop Bob Dylan

samefellow

Meaningful is a subjective term there friend. Nothing is meaningful without someone to find meaning, and one of the big appeals to Dylan is his masterful way of eluding definite meaning on first glance and cutting straight to the emotion and vivid imagery of words. It's called metaphor and symbolism, two qualities that kind of make literature what they are. I'd argue that a mainstream hip hop artist with lyrics that are straightforward and you get what they mean the second you read them are far less meaningful in my book if they can only legitimately be looked in one way. It's an okay edgy underage take to say Dylan's lyrics weren't meaningful because they aren't straightforward, but honestly even though how you find meaning is subjective, I think you're objectively ignorant to what you're even trying to argue for.

>random lyrics that don't mean shit
This is literally like half of all rock music

Then name them, faggot.

jesus these are awful. all you had to do was write 4 decent lines to prove your point and you couldn't do it. not so easy is it huh faggot?

Thats the fucking point dumbass

Why does it matter? All you're going to do is disagree and say hip hop as a genre sucks so there's no room for debate really

Chuck D
Nas
Mos Def
Billy Woods
Ka
GZA
Big Pun
Black Thought
MF DOOM
Aesop Rock (though to be fair he suffers from Dylan syndrome at times too)

dylans lyrics are miles better than the shit that you wrote. and don't lie to me I know there was a part of you that wanted people to reply "damn dude i know you were trolling but this actually pretty good!" or "wow so accurate!!!" lol what a fucking faggot hahaha

SOME of Dylan’s music is psychedelic and intentionally disorienting but the man has a massive catalog and he only really did the abstract surreal lyrics for a few albums. Also surrealism =\ meaningless and easy to write. A song like Ballad of a Thin Man is still very complex and lyrically interesting even if most of it isn’t sensical. Even at his most surreal though you always get the sense that there is a message behind the madness that isn’t really that obtuse, case and point again Ballad of a Thin Man (the character Bob is referring to doesn’t understand the world around him, so everything he perceives is intentionally nonsensical).

Y’all need to actually listen to dylan and read the lyrics

Yea Forums always has an autistic sperg everytime rap is brought up

It took me 30 seconds and the point is that it's rambling nonsense at times with deliberately unclear metaphors and a folky imagery. Note I also never said Dylan was a garbage writer just heavily overrated and the goal was bad lyrics to mirror what Dylan does at his worst

you need to realise your ya'll moots your whole argument

Because it's the most popular genre and Yea Forums is full of isolated aspies who try to distance themselves as much as possible from normies aka functioning people with more fulfilling lives

Im actually a fan of hip hop and bob dylan, but you must be actually pulling my leg if you think Doom's lyricism is better than Dylans if you find Dylan to just spout words that don't have any meaning. I'd much rather take something as beautifully put as Desolation Row than any bar from Madvilliany

Based.

Retard and probably a bigger. Kill yourself, and then get off my board

Jokes on you, I was being ironic

(obviously)

i was not aware dylan used unclear metaphors and folky imagery so thanks for pointing that out for me im very grateful.
>Note I also never said Dylan was a garbage writer
you did tho by writing those shitty lyrics and saying "dylan lyrics in a nutshell" that implies you think he has shitty lyrics.

face it you failed at you wanted to do and are trying to play mind games to save face.
