j-cole can convey the exact same thing that Wacka says but it's done with creativity/flow/lyrics.
Take a Nas line like 'Went from Seiko to Rolex, to Dimes giving fellatio' is more creative than saying ' I was po b4, Now I'm mad rich with hoes sucking my dick on the flo'
Realest shit I read in this whole thread. You sound like a person thats been involved with music outside of just being a fan.
A man must be desperate or delusional to have to use 10 yr old examples of lyrics.
Balance is the key to life
we had Biggie but Rakim was bigger than him and balanced it out with supreme wisdom
we had Big Pun but we also have Immortal technique to balance it out tu sabes?
we had Raekwon but we had KRS-ONE bigger than him balancing it out with H.E.A.L
we had Kool G. Rap but we Mos Def & Talib Kweli to balance that out
....yeah NY talk that violent shit but they are responsible for the Stop the Violence movement in HipHop.
.....yeah NY talk that drug shit but they are responsible for the Afrocentric movement in hiphop
....yeah NY talk that Party & Bullshit but they are also responsible for the Hiphop Youth Council.....
and say the South is better content wise... bullshit, who brainwashed you?
