Suprised that Company Flow, Lootpack, Souls of Mischief and rappers from these collectives don‘t appear in that list. or somebody like Ras Kass.


The measure is meaningless, because more doesn't equal better.

Music works well with repetition. Just look at graffiti for comparison, little one word poems repeated over and over.

The measure also doesn't account for ambiguity used to good effect--who makes the most sense?

I'm not sure why you put Lootpack in there, anyhow. Madlib for example talks a ton about weed, known to inhibit speech production. And the sound is blunted, too, literally. I just wonder how they can be as productive as they are, at all. I still like it, sure.

Nice Nick by the way.

Absolutely.

Yeah but it‘s a bit like writing texts, where you might substitute words in longer ones that you have used a sentenced before.

In Graffiti you have tags and throwups, muscle memory that is usually repeated, but also more complicated pieces where freshness and coming up with new stuff has more value.

A shameful confusion of Lootpack with Swollen Members (Wildchild != Madchild).

Thanks!
