because they don't have the terribly corny hit or miss punchlines
1. Yeah they do or at least MF DOOM sometimes, he has a few meh filler lines but no1curr.
2. You might not even like them as much as prime wayne (Ghostface anyway in like Supreme Clientel)
3. I stopped being spastic nitpicky freak about punchlines a while ago, they just aren't good for your health as a hip hop listener to have a microscope with each lyric and having a heart attack everytime they miss with a line. Two they're like Danny's retarded lines that sound dumb on paper but are fine when recited out loud. He only has those Da Drought 3, those lines are pretty much missing during his blase gangster persona in CII-Dedication II (no bad lines there actually quite a few good ones, listen to Tha Mobb or Hit Em Up). & he always had a certain self aware aspect to him that knows he's just having fun and even giggles at some of his retarded lines in Da Drought 3 and his charisma makes them work anyway.
Also anyone who thinks Doom's only worthwhile project is madvillainy is a retard and should never discuss rap again.
