Shaquan Ian Lewis, also known as Skillz (formerly Mad Skillz), is an American rapper known for his acclaimed 1996 album From Where???, a reference to his origins in Virginia, not the stereotypical New York City or Los Angeles rapper, and he's also known for his yearly "Rap Ups", which he has done from 2002-2012.

You're right, Hip-Hop fans recognizing and admiring a rapper's tremendous talent to coherently rhyme multiple syllables that were so well executed that it sounds almost too convenient to work are pathetic :'''''''(

shoulda swallowed ur pride and renamed it tbh

it's not even that it's just how once you guys got called out and you tried to defend yourself how absolutely retarded you made yourself look. I mean accor was being completely reasonable and calm and explaining why the thread title was bad and ur just ignoring every point he made and calling him a retard and a bunch of other shit. Then the whole part where eedee was trying to defend eminem intentionally rhyming something 9 lines apart. It was just rly pathetic. Probably one of the worst threads in the history of the internet tbh

dead prez put it best

doin shit like that is so soulless and completely misses the point of music, I hate to even say this but it almost comes across as autistic even

this string of posts just uggg

I know what you're getting at though. But it still doesn't mean he didn't do it on purpose. Don't put it past Em to go back to a rhyme scheme mid-way through. He's a fucking genius.

You still don't get it. This is a lyrical appreciation thread. Not a rhyming appreciation thread. We point out rhymes and how hidden or intricate they are. What he did was lyrical. It rhymed, yes, but it was the very definition of intricate lyricism.

It shows he's not linear in his rhyming. He thinks of a whole verse ahead of time. He plans out his shit. He doesn't go one line at a time. It's lyrical.

and this is one of the most cringe worthy rebuttals I've ever seen

I fuckin' said that, retard. Stop trying to make Hip-Hop so black and white, like it's textbook shit. When I think of lyricism, I think of the writing; schemes, rhyming, flow, content, concepts. I'm focusing on the rhyming aspect which in turn pays respect to the schemes as well.

I mentioned the work "lyrical" once in the OP. Fuck off. And no, that wasn't me.

But the threads title is "lyrical appreciation". Shouldn't you be focusing on every aspect of lyricism? Why rhymes? Flow is defined as rhythm and rhymes. It's broken down into rhyming, rhyme schemes, and cadence. Isn't that basically what you're appreciating here? You basically ignore what's actually being said in the verse, as long as it rhymes a lot, it's lyrical right?

And so what if you only mentioned it once lol. You basically said that if it rhymes a lot it's great.

I'm not talking individually, if I meant it individually then I would've said it. Listen to interviewers, other rappers or Em - everyone calls them a super lyrical crew. Lyrical. And you know God damn right they're just referring to rhyming.

Why would I think they were referring to rhyming? If someone tells me to listen to a rapper and describes him as super lyrical, I'm not going to expect Crooked I. I'm going to expect Lupe Fiasco and Mos Def.

Crooked I rhymes and maximizes the use of cadence more than both of them, but is he better lyrically? I can't think of anyone that thinks so.

You're seething brah :''( All I'm trying to say is that just because a verse rhymes a lot, doesn't mean it's great.

Accor...you're unfathomably stupid. Just stop, I'm hardly disagreeing with you, you're just being an asshole.

hipster pseudo-intellect act

:''''''''''(

[CrashBand]

such a cop-out.

it's is so obvious it should be called "rhyming" instead of "lyrical"

[MikeBett]

Haha@ rhyming something 9 lines apart

[classthe_king]

menzo is the human embodiment of a cop out. The fact that he thinks anything we say is hipster or pseudo-intellectually just shows how incredibly dumb he is. I'm not even hating, he's just a brute. There's no way his iq is above 90
