    I think people who hate similes and wordplay are ruining rap discourse.

    Imagine this thread about Carter 3 “Wayne spamming similes, I’m rare like Mr clean with hair? Really? cringe”

    They been dissing Wayne’s lyricism since c4 btw

    Once you start listening out for the “like” the raps go from being clever to sounding lazy.

    Him also rhyming the same word line after line after line becomes a chore to listen to after a while.

    I don’t know why he couldn’t pack Iceman with 18 songs with structures like What Did I Miss, Plot Twist and National Treasures.

    It is but I feel like people are taking it to extremes. I especially disagree with the practice of picking punchlines out of an album, typing them on the internet and crying about them acting like it’s some late career Eminem tier s***. Because we can do that with a lot of classic rap albums. I don’t f*** with the cringe Olympics that these new kids brought to rap

    raps

    The greater than everybody like shredded cheese line is something Wayne would have said post Rikers but we also probably would have groaned at that lol

    It’s honestly a step more subtle and clever than Wayne’s usual punches but sure

    i used to play the s*** out of that song like it was going out of style

    And I'm brainless, which means I'm headless
    Like Ichabod Crane is
    Or foreplay-less s***is, which makes me saneless
    With no neck left to hang the chain with
    Which makes me necklace-less, like a necklace theft
    And I ain't used my headrest yet
    They said they need proof like a vestless chest

    Genius.

  • Think Drake is a great lyricist who does a great job of balancing getting his s*** off while still maintaining some level of pop sensibility.

    The low hanging fruit bars is literally by design

    Ditto for guys like Lil Wayne, Big Sean, etc.
