Which rapper, in your opinion, has the best flow?
Again this is the most controversial question,One needs to be clear what one means when they ask about flow.One someone says that rapper has great flow and control. It basically means how well do they adjust to the beat of the music and do not go offbeat.This applies to every music they have made.I personally consider Kendrick Lamar,jay z and j cole to have the best flows in the rap game.1)Kendrick lamar,he can spit fire on any song from rapping with pop stars to a fire verse on trap songs to old scholl hip hop he can do it all.Now for j cole i think he has a chill vibe and a super chill flow .If you listen to 4 you eyez only ,forest hills and cole world you'll figure out why he is in this list.Now for jay z I dont think that i need to explain why he is the best.Pickup any song any feature and you'll know it.Now some people might say why i have not included rappers like Eminem ,lil wayne.etc etcAll of them cannot or have not yet rapped on different beats ,they have stuck to their same old style.Lil wayne tried to enter rock but failed.But one cannot deny the fact that both of them are legends and the best LYRICIST in the game.Period.For drake i think he is more of a superstar than of a rapper , he is what we call a modern day super star. As per rapping going he has the same flow(check out one dance and signs..)Now for kanye …. for me kanye is GOD. He is a legend and I am his biggest fan.But it is a fact that king kunta ,hov and cole have better flows than him .But he is a visionary a true artist his music is the best thing that has ever happened to the rap world.
Off the top of your head, what is your favorite hiphop/rap album of all time?
Since I'm a 90's baby, I have two that come right to mind.. Eminem - The Eminem Show 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin' These albums are amazing. there aren't any skippable tracks on either one of these albums in my opinion. The lyrics and production go hard and are on point from beginning to end. These are easily in the 'top 5 albums of the '00's
Which rappers have the best complex rhyme schemes?
An interesting question.If you stare down the history of rhymes in music and relate it to the evolution of rap, a beautiful pattern unfolds.What I will do here is list some very intriguing rhymes. What you should understand is that complex rhymes are not exclusive (mostly) to rap artists. Why?Well, because an artist who chooses some very dense rhymes in one song would go easy on some others for better storytelling.Anyhow, some very noteworthy mentions are :Notorious BIG - HypnotiseIt is often said to be the “smoothest rap” song ever. See how he alternates between long and short sentences and also notice the frequency of his rhymes.His laid back delivery makes it all the more gripping. He isn't regarded as the one of the best rappers for nothing.Mos Def - RedefinitionHe hits every note within the bar with a rhyme. This feat is almost impossible to maintain. Take a look.The man hardly ever cursed and he often probed some very sensitive issues with his rhymes.Eminem - Lose yourselfArguably, one of the best rap songs of all time. Look at this complex rhyme scheme.HOLY FUCK ! He also tells a very compelling and touching stories along with these rhymes.What is very interesting is that as he enunciates he often changes the pronunciation to rhyme and that is the clever ingenuity. Let me explain.Consider your words “ whole ” and “ knows ” from the verse. Now ask anyone to enunciate and ask if they rhyme. It doesn't, does it ? And now listen to the song. And listen carefully how he drawls the syllable “ ho” in “whole” and the same way stretches “ no” in “knows”. You see how it rhymes ?Eminem in pretty much the same way rhymes “orange” with “syringe” by twisting the pronunciation. Who says orange doesn't rhyme with anything ? The song did not win the Oscar for no reason.MF DOOM - Meat GrinderEver heard of someone rhyming complete sentences together ? Here we goI really can go on and on about him but I leave it upto you to discover this artist.The lyrics dances, the music enhances and the chance is he might be the one whose rhymes are the densest. ( Just off the top off my head :) )Happy reading.
What do you think of these rhymes?
Are you afraid of a blade made of a razor with AIDS Blood dripping from it, ripping your stomach up from the waist up You talk a lot of junk, but you was never ill though I'm strong enough to beat you to death with a feather pillow Tipped over some cows just for a joke and a laugh Jumped up, choked a giraffe, snapped it's neck and broke it in half Waging wars, went on stage and sprayed +Cage+ with +Agent Orange+ Then whiped my *** with his page in Source The demon is here, I'm steaming this year I ripped Mystikal's voice box out and screamed in his ear It's not a gimmick, trick it's an image, I live it Give a damn? I don't know what a damn is to give it Man, I don't think this guy's well, I'm high as hell I'll beat you with a live cat while I'm swinging him buy his tail I'll frickin! I'll frickin.. lay your nuts on the dresser Just your nut sack by itself and bang them stuffs with a spiked bat Cut your neck off and glue your head right back and leave you like that You just triggered a prick who just mixed liquor Who's itchin to leave you disfigured and stiffer than Christopher Reeves, I was teething with strep throat when your mother was breast feeding And gave it a flesh eating disease I'm iller than taking a hammer and beating your knees And walking through South Central, LA bleeding in jeans Flashing back to being shot and repeating the scene On how you just got smoked And if you do live you'll be too scared to tell it Like a Biggie & Pac joke

Tupac vs Notorious BIG?
Ok Biggie is one of my favorite rappers of all time im just saying Lyrically Tupac was better but if you read my question i said Biggies flow was much better . Example from Jen h ~I was a terror since the public school era Bathroom passes, cuttin classes, squeezing asses~ Smoking blunts was a daily routine Since thirteen, a chubby ***** on the scene ~I used to have the tre` duce And the deuce deuce in my bubblegoose Now i got a mac in my knapsack Loungin' black, smoking sacks up in acts And sidekicks with my sidekicks rockin fly kicks~ Honeys want to chat But all we wanna know is "Where the party at?" And can i bring my gat? If not, I hope I don't get shot But i throw my vest on my chest 'Cause ****** is a mess I~t don't take nothin' but frontin' For me to start somethin' Buggin' and barkin' at ****** like i was duck huntin' Dumbing out, just me and my crew~ Cause all we wanna do is... See that flow . Aww out of space or i would compare this to Tupac to prove my point
