what's the most important part of lyricism?

[EuropeanAndWhite]

That formula wasn't for lyricism, fool. That's a logical formula to indicate what follows necessarily.

Rhyme scheme does involve lyrics as your choice of words dictates the rhyme scheme. Internals are also a part of rhyme schemes, and internals are very much a part of lyricism.

lyr·i·cism noun \ˈlir-ə-ˌsi-zəm\

Definition of LYRICISM

1

: the quality or state of being lyric : songfulness

2

a : an intense personal quality expressive of feeling or emotion in an art (as poetry or music)

Your rhyme schemes dictate the structure of your song and it's overall sound.

so you basically say that

snatched off your feet, breakin-your-neck, stick a stake-in-your-chest/

drag you out the street, bitch, i'm takin-you-death/

is lyrical?

and it feels like you hanging at school analyzing shit all day the way you post.. shiit, its words and music dude. something you feel. when we say we go to the lab we aint talking about the nasa...

WHat does beat have to do with lyrics????????????

I don't give a fuck what kinda islam, save the children bullshit them niggas be talkin bout, if the beat is trash, I don't wanna hear it, you would say that cuz all them niggas you listen to beats is terrible.

 

[OGClarenceBoddicker]

Not a damn thing hes probably a a 90's baby

88 and aint shit you can tell me bout hip hop, been buyin albums and source magazines since 97, I been a man bout mine, no kid ova here, im just as much as a hip hop head from the 90's as you nigga, I just aint some nerd that dislikes rappers cuz they dont rhyme about conspiracy theories, and im very unbiased.

It is quite obvious that hip hop does not buy into the dictionary meaning of lyrics or lyrical, because it is quite obvious that the words you choose to speak, which is content is the most important aspect of the dictionary meaning of lyrics or lyrical. How else can poetry or a poem be lyrical when rhyming is not even a necessity in poetry. The words you choose to speak are the most important aspect of lyricism. 2Pac best lyricist to me and some claim he was not lyrical LMAO.

I'm a say rhyme scheme and meter.

Lol at some of you saying flow and delivery. Bunch of idiots. Lol

 

[GSonII]

poems that don't rhyme suck though.

Not to me, you could have everything that makes a dope poem without rhyming.

 

[GSonII]

That's the textbook definition. Hip Hop's definition of lyrical and literature's definiton of lyrical are totally different.

Just like how when a nigga said you're ill in a hip hop slang. Does it mean he's sick?

True, I have been trying to express this to some, that hip hop has distorted the meaning of lyricism to something that some dumb smart people decided was more appropriate. There dumb smart because they have failed to ever get there definition of lyricism over on a large scale. Maybe they aren't really dumb smart just failures.

This.

Big KRIT is the modern example of why you don't need to be complex to be lyrical. He doesn't use punchlines very often, his rhymes and his vocab are both pretty simple........but his music has a lot more depth to it than someone like Cory Gunz who relies very heavily on punchlines and multis
