It’s not necessarily wrong to not write, punching in/out isn’t bad per se . but you should be writing & practicing your craft in general & it’ll translate into your music.

I think The Alchemist is a good example of loving rap/ hip hop culture and being a part of the scene for so long that he is now deeply imbedded into the culture. He his authentic and respected despite him looking white.

You don't have to grow up in the 90's to be a great rapper. It comes down to your intelligence going on that paper or threw the wire. A lot of people love to make music but don't have what it takes to be a good artist.

I think they need to go back to writing and stick to the basics and the master that before they try to graduate to something else they can't handle

The rapper's nowadays suck they can't even freestyle a whole verse and have no breath control to make it through a verse let alone don't know how to say just enough words did they get in the studio and punching and everything and sometimes do a horrible job at it so you could tell it was obvious punch in cuz the words are overlapping and if they're not saying lyrics they're mumbling

If anything Lil Wayne contributed to the death of lyricism Jay-Z on the other hand is the exception because he was so professional he didn't have to write or Lil Wayne should have kept writing and I can't blame them for a young people being lazy and trying not to write and starting to punch in everything

Jay got the no writing thing from Biggie, and that clip of Tupac you using, when you're talking about writing, he is literally telling them to freestyle in the both. Interesting video though.

Jay Z wrote down his raps for over a decade before he decided to not write them down

Jay is not to blame,writing in your head and memorizing your bars is NOT the same as that “punch in” bullshit. If they were trying to emulate Jay and Wayne then the quality would be higher. Rappers today aren’t writing because they’re lazy. It’s not the same thing.

Dr.Dre was the first hiphop billionaire but I personally don’t believe him or Dre were ever billionaires.

Can people stop callin Wayne a GOAT God damn.

Been saying this for long time. Jay and Wayne fvkd the game up with not writing. Everybody thought they could do it... and it seems like every other rapper refused to hear the part where Jay said he had the rap written in his head... it was an off-the-top freestyle.

Ooooo the old niggas finna be mad at this one 😂

to me lil Wayne sounds like he doesn't write he's lyrics down because a lot of his songs don't make sense to me

Lil Wayne and Jay.... I never cared if they wrote or not. I never liked them anyway.

I respect this video! As someone who has wrote and punched in plenty of music, My most known song in my city were the ones I wrote. More thought is put into something that you had to actually sit down and work & really make sure each bar go with the next instead of just rhyming with the next ya know. I dont even be listening to none of these new rappers.. Be listening to 90s music most the time fr 🤣

I always thought it was a bad idea to go into the booth without writing and rewriting lyrics before recording. Documenting the process of getting to the finished product is part of the fun. If anything it’s something people can look back on to show their thought process.

Well I'm trying to do my part that's fa sho. It's super frustrating for me to see hate winning when I'm working hard to do the opposite.

Yo that beat in the background tough

Ngl idk why they sleeping on this one. you're cooking

Westside gunn said that he doesn’t start to come up with anything until he hears the beat first

I Think its Triple Entendre First Jay Z says he"s done writing music 2nd Jay Z free styles his raps now bar 4 bar 3rd could it really mean Jay z has A Stream line of Ghost Writers This whole after the announcement that made waves worldwide all over television !!!??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Big is the main one who started the free style write nothing down lyricist "NOT JAY Z" . Jay got that from big and that's why he frequently mentions him

The problem is young urbans and the wannabe urbans have way too much audacity. Like, u see a super young person driving an 80k dollar car? That’s what I mean. What makes u think u should have that when no one or even yourself is rich?? Same thing. What makes u think u should then not write? The youngsters aren’t wise enough to realize not everyone is made for glory. They all want the glory. Dumb little kids want the damn glory too often. Get an education dummy.

Sorry but ur generation of 18 year old rappers is STUPID

You’re a Biggie hater, where’s Big in all this? Jay took Big style and ran with it!

The majority of top selling Rap has never been lyrical. With that said, J. Cole, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar are the only lyrical types in the current era that can move serious units.

Dudes gotta stop being followers 🤦🏽‍♂️

Jay z didnt cause the end of lyricism, he's one of the best of all time, yall just looking for excuses to hate on Jay Z like always

I think Jay and Wayne didn't have a part in this AT ALL. Actually more Wayne than Jay though because Wayne got A LOT of misses and a lot of the newer trash rappers are supposedly influenced by Wayne. But I think the biggest reason why lyrics are dead is because anybody can record now.

Jay -z killing he Lyrics over years goat 🐐 passing on lilwayne error hip hop respect 🫡 king 👑 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I'd say 1997 in particular is when Hip Hop kinda lost *that rawness and grittiness* this is when people like Diddy and Mase went mainstream and made Hip Hop more flashy with lyrics mostly about money and wealth, and it kinda stayed stagnant like that for over 2 decades, but nowadays we have alot more diversity in styles.

I FW this mate, Keep cooking if U can. I rlly like Ur view on things in the music industry. Funny and chill but still gets the point across. 👍

Hate for sport 😂😂😂😂

Yeoo

Jay used to write pretty good stuff. He wasn't just phoning it in.

Before anything is written down, you said it already

I would say stuff like the Yin Yang Twins, D4L and that dirty south strip club rap really killed lyricism

Biggie and Jay-Z actually cared about what they said though. Them not writing doesn’t mean other people should just come in and start spitting absolute nonsense. It’s like fast rapping. It’s not for everybody to try to do, but people think it’s cool and do it anyway, and it’s just sloppy.

Mumble!!!

I don't know where the post malone hate coming from I agree with the rest of ur takes tho

It's a bad thing

Back in the early 2010s and before there was a myth that people didn’t write. The having to freestyle was just gate keeping, same as the whole being from the streets and keeping it real concept. “You can’t freestyle of the top, so you can’t rap”, “you ain’t from the streets, you can’t rap” , “you ain’t keeping it real, you can’t rap” People would convince themselves of these things to feel special or part of a esoteric group but they were ALL frauds and liars with gimmicks and you wouldn’t get these kinds of weird requisites in other genres, just hip hop. Nas was probably the most humble.

Written published content gets you indicted … say what u want have someone else write it

I went from reaction to uploading my own music. It’s a process to teach yourself freestyle. I feel if you learn new words every day, realize only you can narrate your story, work on better ways of expressing how you feel, you should always have something to freestyle off of. You need to focus on what makes a good rapper. Focus on message, delivery, personal style. I feel some may have off the top rhyme skills but don’t have the full control over their creativity due to contracts. Another thing I’ve recently learned is you’ve gotta show, not tell.

3 or 4 hours for a song is bullshit. No wonder beats suck. It takes me days to make music.

Niggas not rappers they engineers tbh lol
