hiphop is at its best when its not focusing on tryhard "lyrical miracle" technical raps, and instead focuses on the music. And this album proves it, along with any kanye record
outta of all the hiphop albums that put an emphasis on "bars", only 2% of them aren't complete shit. And even then listening to a self-indulgent nigger trying to tell you the ways of the world is only bearable for a few songs at a time
Hahaha you don't think lyrics matter? What are you some dumb trap fan who likes Young Thug (YOUNG FAG) and Future (PAST)? Sheep like you make me laugh. I only listen to rappers who are super lyrical and really make you think, like Hopsin and Tech N9ne. Hip-Hop is about lyrics and ONLY about lyrics.
Hunter Hall
Well the best albums of all time are bizarre ride ii and 36 chambers so you're not wrong
Dominic Walker
this, the original chronic was a masterpiece of sampling
Eli Thomas
36 Chambers has insanely technical lyrics, but Liquid Swords is better because it has better beats
Owen Kelly
I mean 36 chambers is fun, just like bizarre ii. Hardly tryhard
Brody Ward
lyrics don't matter I only care about flow.
Biggie could have been talking about how many daddy's dicks he was sucking forever for all I give a shit.
And ODB makes that fucking album. Nobody can harmonize or emote like him anymore.
Wu Tnag was the best thing to ever happen to hiphop. Even tho most of tbe beats on 36 chambers were lofi as fuck, it's still astonishing every time to watch these dudes pass the mike like a hot potato, each with their own unique style but also a collective sort of New York drawl to it. RZAs fast and calculated rhymes, GZAs cerebral raps on science and chess, Method Mans loose, fun slurred stories, ODBs ridiculously entertaining style. And the HOOKS
BRING THE MUTHAFUCKIN RUCKUS WU TANG KILLA BEES, WE IN A SWARM CLAN IN DA FRONT WU WU WU WU WU WU WU TANG CLAN AINT NOTHIN TO FUCK WIT M E T H O D MAAAN CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME CREAM GET THE MONEY, DOLLA DOLLA BILL YALL

Ryder Hill
young thug is unirnocally good tho
Dominic Murphy
Lol Young Fag isn't good because he uses autotune and doesn't say shit that really makes you think. Also, he makes trap music and all trap music is bad.
Brandon Morales
>only listen to rappers who really make you think >tech n9ne
nigger you can't be serious
Jacob Lee
If you want words that make you think read a fucking book thuggers use of tone and pitch are like no other rappers
James Morgan
Best hip-hop album ever made. 2nd is probably The Pharcyde - The Bizarre Ride II.
Levi Kelly
back to youtube tard
Aiden Wood
>thuggers use of tone and pitch are like no other rappers
Rappers aren't supposed to use tone and pitch. They are just supposed to make you think. There should be nothing that distracts the listener from the lyricism.
Parker Perry
they're good because they have delivery and personality, and they now how to spit with attitude. That's why the people love Dre and Snoop so much. That's why Ice Cube's Vasline is so fucking vicious, because of that delivery. And that's why Eminem is complete garbage now even though he has the most technically impressive raps. Because it just sounds like he's fucking yelling the whole time.
any youtuber highscooler can go on and spit technical raps. It takes a true MC to rock a beat.
Nathan Nguyen
yeah fuck experimenting and pushing the boundaries of your genre
Anthony Anderson
>Liquid Swords is better than Enter the 36 Chambers I hate people like you, no it wasn't
Parker Walker
Yes it was because GZA is a good lyricist and that's all that matters.
Dylan Bennett
>shitposting? I LOVE shitposting!
Daniel Gomez
No not really your opinion is stupid and so are you. GZA isn't even the best lyricist of the Clan lmao you are thinking of GFK or even INS
Logan Morgan
If GZA isn't the best lyricist in the Wu, then why is it #6 on RYM?
Camden Howard
>rateyourmusic oh now I get it, I am being trolled
Jacob Wilson
so true. it's hilarious when hardcore hip-hop fans talk about how "deep" and "poetic" Kendrick Lamar and Nas and whoever are. like holy shit, clearly you have never read a good book in your life if you find their lyrics impressive.
Grayson Green
I BOMB ATOMICALLY SOCRATES PHILOSOPHIES AND HYPOTHESES CAN'T DEFINE HOW I BE DROPPING THESE MOCKERIES
Carson Perez
have you tried reading DOOM's lyrics? moreover do you follow every single one of his references and metaphors? I would doubt it if you said yes
Adrian Martinez
All DOOM does is talk about nerd shit and monster movies.
Nathan Wilson
How did it take you so long to figure that out. It was obvious from the first comment
Jacob Murphy
so I will take that as a no
Owen Martinez
it absolute is/was
Chase Phillips
I only listen to REAL hip hop, fuck outta here with that fake ass wack shit, shit is straight GARBAGE
smdh
Alexander Wilson
do people who find Kendrick and Nas poetic listen to stuff like doseone, WHY? and Mike Ladd? that stuff is genuine poetry
