Do I feel different? Well in reality there is probably nothing that the world hasn't seen already so its not like everybody is something special unless you really go over board and try to do something weird like wear socks on your ears than you will really stand out. No the only thing I feel different about is just taking rap more serious in the lyrical sense. When I say lyrical people think lyrical means VOCABULARY. I really really really REALLY hate when people just use big words because they think it makes them lyrical especially people online like to spam big words because they think that makes me impressed or something like nobody else can look in the dictionary either lol.
Its not that other people don't take it seriously because alot of people take their music seriously what I am saying is I feel like I am of a smaller group of rappers who actually work to step their game up lyrically but at the same time being able to make music not just some crappy song with good lines. I say I feel different from most people that I know because all the rappers who I am friends with even on my FB they just write to make songs meaning club, gangsta, something to bump ect. Rarely do I come across people who take the technical side of writing more serious. To me lyrical means not vocabulary, lyrical to me means not just about metaphors, punchlines, similes but a good portion is how you are able to bend words, twist words and set up words. To me I put vocabulary like in the middle or near the end of my view of what lyrical is. Its not about sayiing a 40 letter long word its about making clever lines/ideas, looking at words like puzzles, twisting words and trying to see what you can do to make a flow or line sound special ect.
That is the only thing I feel different about, like I said the world has seen it all I am not the only one to think like this but I feel I am a very small portion who actually does it or is good at it. I'd say like 10% of rappers maybe less that you meet will be like what I just said. For every like 100 rappers I would say 1 of them is trying to do what I am doing. Then that 1 rapper out of the 100 either has a 50% change that is he actually good or not because its either yes or no. If he isn't then that just means another rapper like myself will be harder to come across.
Like I said I'm not the only one to do this the most known people who do this are people like lloyd banks, fabolous, cass, eminem, papoose, conceited, about a handfull of people. If your wondering why eminem is on there its because as the years went on I got to resepct how eminem really does twist his words in a weird way somethings in a way others don't think of and to me that is being more lyrical then just saying a big word.
I am nothing differnet people like to act like they are special or differnet, I dress the same as any other rapper baggy double xl clothing lol. The only difference is in the writing that is where people need to pay attention to. I can't stand boring ass beats which is why I never got into NAS much because I find his beats depressing and boring. If you listen to music like dipset the beats are just 100x better. Songs that put me out of a good mood, depressed or boring state is a song I hate hearing. That is why I listen to music with godly beats you can hear from a block away, I like songs that are lyrical but without sacrificing flow, attitude, and of course being able to bump the song in your whip like you are the shit.
Maybe I am different but really I hate boring beats I don't get why people even listen to nas because his beats put me to sleep. Before anyone gets on my ass about nas I never said he was bad I just said his beats are boring.
