Rakim, Kool G. Rap, Kane, LL Cool J, KRS One, Slick Rick & Lord Finesse basically laid the Blueprint for every lyrical rapper that came afterwards. If you listen to any lyricist from 1990 - Present day you will find elements of influence from one of these Mc's...

He has a point that today's rhyming/battling is so predictable. Everyone is shit scared to be who they really are on M.I.C
@konrTF 2 жыл бұрын
That's not what he said. He said that when something IS predictable in modern battle rap you'll have people predicting the punch etc. but that doesn't mean it's more predictable now on average lol
@TheSupremeDunk 2 жыл бұрын
Thats not what he said.....He's talking about in Smack URL type leagues when cats battle....in the middle of their rounds when doing a set up for a punchline...the opponent we'll say your punchline BEFORE or with you if it was predictable! Example: if im battling Charlie Clips and said..."Look at you overweight ass hole/ I bet when you were young your friends called you ....." and Clips will look at the crowd and say "Fatso"! To show his opponents punchline was predictable.

One thing I liked about Finesse is that he always had a cool arrogance in his vocal presence. Like on his song, "You know What I'm About," he spits in a smooth conversational style that drips with arrogance and conceit; it's as if he's saying, "c'mon yo, how many times I gotta tell y'all... you can't fuck wit me, yo" in every bar.
