It does seem like we've got a nice variety of musical taste on this site.

So any of you plebs wanna post up some of your fav artists?

I've come a cross a dude called Earl Sweatshirt and he's pretty decent lyricist.
Appreciating the complexity of rhymes lately instead of the usual commercial bullshit too.

I don't have a favourite artist nor album, usually I just like a very few tracks from an artist/album which I keep, while I delete the rest as trash.

So without any judgement about artist/album, some random tracks I like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeHVpWMvfqc

Regarding lyrics, my vote for the most obligatory oldschool masterpiece goes to:

earl and complex? are u joking? all he does is moody hipster shit. he a decent lyricist? u a basic nigga. yea mentioning xanax in ur lyrics is enough for that, right?

recommendation: the new tribes album. thats actually lyrically deep, and not angsty teenager-tier rap

Lyricism in terms of how he flows from rhyme to rhyme, you don't need to press your superiority complex in to this genre as well.

I listen to rap for the rhymes, regardless of the content so there's no need to be bitchy about the subject matter.

The new tribes album is okay, lyrically deep? Possibly.

hip hop is just the movement, break dancing, rap, graf etc. q:D

I prefer some sick flows over actual 'lyrical deepness' - fucking around on a beat with unorthodox styles.

Flow vs. deepness,
rap vs. hip hop,
diss track vs. conscience rap,
east coast vs. west coast,
old-school vs. new-school,
underground vs. commercial,
panties vs. thong, whatever, it is the ass inside that matters.
Let us not waste time with pointless debates, because a good track is a good track, no matter what category it falls into.
