    The best part about A.F.R.O. is that he doesn't claim to be the best out there. He knows there's better rappers out there and he pays homage to K.R.S. One in this remix. But I'll be damned if anyone can beat his flow. This is god-tier.

  • @SpliffyHusk
    @SpliffyHusk 8 років тому +74

    I could see why he's underrated, read his lyrics, what the fuck did I read?
    "Medicine, eminent, feminist sentimental with edges of leads or metals
    Settled in envision listen to Ed and minimal and ripping a little bit, sending in a villain
    I'm feeling a little bit envy
    In the bit ending rhythm is heavy
    Rhythm is ending
    Put em in training, lazy raiding, amazing ages that Asian faces"
    I cannot even decipher what the fuck this is, it's purely just rhyme for rhyme, there isn't anything being said in the entire song at all, it's just random shit covered by a wicked flow, he sounds nice, but he isn't saying shit.

    • @SpliffyHusk
      @SpliffyHusk 8 років тому +5

      I get it shows off his delivery, but the rhyme part can't be impressive because it's hard to write consistent rhymes when you have to be conceptual, back then doing this type of music was nice, but we've moved on, we want too substance now, it sounds cool and his flow is really dizzying, fucking solid. I'm just not impressed with his lyrics.

    • @dais6376
      @dais6376 7 років тому +20

      My friend brought up a point where he said that the sole purpose this song was to demonstrate how impeccable his flow is, whereas some of his other songs actually have some substance to it. This song was like how it was for a reason. Trying to get the best flow possible is harder to do when you have the added challenge of it being like you said, conceptual. A good example of this is Rebel XD (who was the fastest rapper in the world).

    • @ethanbyrne2894
      @ethanbyrne2894 7 років тому +8

      This song is about flow, not lyrics. As you said, it has amazing flow but lots of the lyrics are just there because they rhyme. Even then, lots of the lyrics have actual meaning. Other songs by him have good flow and lyrics that make more sense.

      Nobody said anything about doing better than anyone. But Honestly its not hard to say random words fast in a selected cadence. Who just says random shit on purpose.... that makes no sense so please try to explain. But because hes not saying typical words its all good? See when other rappers say things you dont understand its trash. But when afro does it its cool? Good Job. This is why afro wont be getting anywhere major anytime soon. His success is good now. but if he focused on lyrics more and add his flow he would be everywhere. And we need more good artist.
