Beatz or Lyricz???

[Gordon Gekko]

Aiight, Im tired of the mess I hear with rap these days. Im tired of people just having a tight beat, a catchy hook, but some sorry ass lyrics. And for the fans/listeners...Im tired of them thinkin that if a person got a tight beat, and no lyrics...then automatically he's a good rapper.
Beatz or Lyrics?? Which you would prefer when u listen to a song.

 

[Sick Wid It]

If the beat is wack, I won't let it play far enough to even hear the rapper. I can't get past a garbage beat, and I shouldn't have to.

 

[Dana Dane]

EXACTLY!!!!

 

[GHP]

yeah if a song has a cool beat I'll let it ride even if the rapper isn't a lyrical genius, they can't be too sorry though, and its gotta have a nice hook. Outragiously bad hook will ruin potentially good songs

 

[FedelCatchhoes]

Is it too much to ask for them both?

yep. If tha lyrics dont go wit tha song & makes tha song sound shitty i skip it even if tha beat tight. U need both

 

[KAH]

tha hook ruins a lot of songs if it shitty

it's like this ese mayn...if the beat is garbage i aint listenin no matter how tight the lyrics are i just can't get passed it and i won't i dont have too...u hear the lyrics but dayum come on the beat can't be that ugly thats wats wrong with the bay these days and other coasts...if the beat is tight i'll listen to it some lyrics may be wack but you still hear him from what he gotta say from his heart and i would be like ''ah he got arite lyrics''....lyrics is like spittin game words from da mouth and shit tight beats is like attractive faces so it's like if the dude or gurl look ugly as hell but got some game most people wouldn't even want to get with that type of shit nuff said

 

[OG young SAV]

Fuck lyrics cuz you probably talkin' some bullshit anyway. Beats are what it's all about! I mean come on pop in a CD the 1st thing you hear is the BEAT....if, the beat sucks you gonna skip tracks be4 the fool even starts spittin'!

you are in the same mindstate as me.

i made sure that EVERY single beat on my LP was banging.... but that i ride them nicely with flow & vocab & just straight ruggedness.

 

[Amaretto]

beatz... but flow and lyrics are hella important aswell though!

 

[Eskimo Pie]

Its lyrics for me because the way I look at it is that if the beat is wack chances are the lyrics are going to be the same, but in the rare instance that someone does spit fire over a wack beat then I will still listen to it just because of the lyrics.

 

[Cuddie Cut]

Is it too much to ask for them both?

unfortunatly now a days it is......

only the aritsts that have a true passion for music (which is only like 2%) are those who can make it ALL sound good....not just one or the other....

 

[B.$tack]

You could have the best beats and flows and still not do shit. Its who ya know in this business!

 

[CHRISHOGGALYPSE]

y'all act like this hasn't been going on for years now

 

[A1Yola415]

beats are more important, if im listening to someone who raps good but the beat sounds like some fucking razors to my ears then im turning it off.

but whats worse is when the beat is tight but the lyrics are awful, then its just a waste of a good beat.

 

[carlos]

beats are better thats the thang why nolimit blew up and they had some hard ass lyrics...if the hookz is shitty then yea it can ruin the fuccin song it kinda does which that sucks

 

[chuck taylor]

half and half cause a sick ass beat can bring out the best in someone. u cant expect to make a hit without a knocker even if you one of the sickest rappers alive

 

[G-ro]

MUSIC!!! that's the most important thing IMO. I don't care how tight are the lyrics, if the beat is wack, I won't listen to it... MUSIC is so rare today with all these pre-formated beats, everything sounds the same...
