Isn't that what seperates the men from boys Lyrical Content?
Doe't a regular person who Rap's for fun just Rap random things for the sake of it?
Isn't Song Writting, Lyrical Content, what is being said and the message in the Song what makes an Artist good?

Just any Rapper who Rap's with out saying anything just rhyming words
I'm not bigging up any particular 1 Artist but of course aside from Eminem i'm bigging up 2pac, ZRO, Nas, Dead Prez, Joe Budden etc i don't like Joe Budden but can never take away the man crafting Song's saying something -

When I was working on my MixTape: Chapter I which is hitting the net MID SEPTEMBER I was just going with the mood I was currently in while writing. The next MixTape i am going to take more time working on the lyrics and wanting to make it deeper. I believe lyrics NEED to have meaning and also be very witty But in todays music ? aint thinking about lyrics they want to do what sales so they follow the trend. I hope this all makes sense. I guess there are more rappers than Emcees. Rappers do what ever but an Emcee does more than just write. I think Emcee'ing died in the mid 90's in my opinion and going into the 2000's is when rappers took over. So if you didnt have any controversy behind your music you wasn't hot.........For example lil wayne gets put on this high pedestal because look at this ? ......he puts on tight jeans and people talk about him for months. Every thing he does generates talk. he is like a walking marketing tool......the ? dont talk about ? . i think after the Carter II his lyrics went down hill......idk man im just saying.

its why i havent been a fan of wayne since carter 1, and eminem since eminem show. they just rhyming to rhyme now.

Yeah that's what i'm saying a true Lyricist is someone that Writes Song's with meaning but cleverly and covers all the fundementals of a good Song somene that does the Word Play but makes sense covers a topic speaks about things relatable to the listener and expresses their life through words -
Inb4 lock..

I mean Recovery is 1 of Eminem's most powerful Album's as far as Message and covering what he been through in his life talking about his struggles on pretty much every track along with The Eminem Show it is his most Introperspective/Personal Album from start to finish
Encore had so many Deep and Personal Song's too
Then of course Lose Yourself and The 8 Mile Soundtrack which came after the Eminem Show on there was Deep too also the solo Song's of Eminem on The Re Up were deep too
But majority of Relapse aside from Beautiful, Deja Vu, Be Careful What You Wish For it was just rhymiing to rhyme not saying anything like you said and on the Bad Meets Evil EP too
So have to correct you on this -
thats most of eminem's career

That's the problem people have with Emcees like Lil Wayne, Cory Gunz, Cannabis etc for the most part aqtleast on a lotta tracks they just Rapping and not saying anything making randomwords rhyme like they reading a dictionary
Talib Kweli is an Emcee, Rapper whatever you wanna call it that is a real Emcee and Artist cos he can Rap with content he saying something the Lyrics mean something -

yeah i had eminem show when it came out . most of his career means like infinite, his days with rawkus etc and he was rapping just to rap . one or two songs on one or two albums . He not known for his personal tracks he is known for his rapping ability and shockin/obscene content not his cry baby tracks -

At least spell his name right.
For me, pretty please
Give me some more slack on this rope
I run your boney ass throat over in a zodiac boat
46 degrees north, 6 degrees east
The Large Hadron Collider gave birth to a beast
That speaks, they quote my speech
Vocal motifs over dope beats, all lyricists know me!
That's why the industry's debunking my lyrics
With digital trunking equipment, they don't want you to listen!
The Ripper's language won't appeal to the masses because they look past it
Only the masters know the seal of the scarab
Some humans are born average based off environmental circumstances
You organic ? , you substandard
But do not be embarrassed by your underdeveloped status
It's up to you to find the right questions and ask it
Research leads to results sometimes we find meaning after
Other times they're just meaningless babblers
Don't believe these rappers, fake unbelievable ?
Comet Elenin is coming straight at us, don't believe NASA
Take matters into your own hands
Stop being slow and acting like hoes, get with the ? program
Hip Hop is the greatest genre known to man
If we focus, the poetry is so advanced
We can overthrow any plan and control man
You got soul? Let's Jam! Lyrical Law I'm the Canibus Man
What's the buy-in minimum? 88 sales, program
And the number of stores, I don't care no more
This is Lyrical Law Noir ? raw Metaphors for you and yours
You can't say you wasn't warned!
Thousands of bars, them dummies couldn't stomach my bars
They rather conform, they throwing up their pompoms
You don't wanna wrestle with Armstrong
We sever blood vessels tryna mess with the ? 's poem
Damage any ? beat that I rhyme on
Connect to the ? 's thoughts, posses your iPod, I grind hard
Intellectual hardboard, take it back to Hip Hop Style Wars
Grunting like a pack of wild boars
Power source Lyrical Law my bomb squad full force
Call 'em off we got too much torque
Nitrous Oxide Bars pull a bull of course
Pitch fork to you neck just to prove I'm raw
Iron horse, smack DVD, Battle Rap boss
Slap you with the flat part of the sword, now you back for more
Passing yourself off like a Rap star
But you support wack bars that's why rap has lost -- fact!
You a Cool J ? ? ,
You snitch like police Labradors tryna sniff out sasquatch
Man up, no more lip service and back wash
Stand up! I'ma break off you're back paws
Thor's hammer ? jaws, attack y'all, fracture your skull
Mountain man axe to your ?
Self-employed like Donald Goines, cash cows on steroids
I don't fall for deceptions or decoys
I'm a beast and I'm clairvoyant
Your soya won't tear the beat up whether or not you appear on it
Double trouble dear promise ? you and your comments
The chairman of Lyrical Law will be honoured
The last man standing, after the internet is abandoned
James Cameron with a gamma ray cannon
..... brainwashed Hip Hop
And they came from Saturn, they were the first alien race of rappers
They landed in North Africa, their teeth be gnashing
Their names look like acronyms, they released the Kraken,
They live in underground cabins
They slither fast through the inner-earth labyrinth
They move in S-patterns though deep planet chasms
I chase 'em and trap 'em, detailing the action
For tryna desecrate the Sabbath of the lyrical master, ?
I laid them on top of each other like Abu Ghraib
They spacecraft look like the Eiffel Tower in Paris
They pray on my downfall they orchestrated Hip Hop's imbalance
They underestimated my talent
I hold the globe up like Atlas
They lied about Canibus -- ask 'em
I'm the world's greatest ? rapper!
They slandered my character through private and public propaganda
They tell the people I'm Dr. Doppelganger
They ask me ? , did they know I'm not gon answer
Extinction Level Event, they can't stop the disaster
? stop the camera, 'cause you know that I'm a miserable bastard
I ? lens, break microchips and melt plastic
You Canibus? - Who's asking?
That's Captain Cold Crush to you maggot, you a lyrical has-been
Lyrical Law's a classic they can't get past it
The beats, the rhymes, the features, every single facet
Lyrical Law's a classic they can't get past it
The beats, the rhymes, the features, every single facet
The microphone assassin 'bout to get at 'em
The Dragon of Judah breathe fire 'til his last breath
Full Battle Rattle in action lyrical Metal Jackets
Coming through with several new attachments
Computers is crashing, hackers is laughing
Rapid eye movement, try to keep up with the captain, what's happening?
