But what is lyricism? A massive vocabulary? Penchant for big words? A careful selection of words to best illustrate a point? Incorporating wit,
irony, sarcasm, contrast, whatever, to elevate beyond mere rap?
If the answer is all of the above, then surely a lot of the rappers mentioned are candidates. |
precisely my point dear chum!

L Boogie! Glad you think so Mark. At the risk of this seeming like a tokenistic comment, Lauryn Hill made me realise how dope hip hop can/could sound.

Aside from her being certifiably bonkers, she is an incredibly gifted emcee. She can sing real well, but is more than competent at rapping.

ha yeah, certified 'bonkers' by whom exactly? We all have a bit of crazy to differing degrees but show me a female who doesn't go a bit batshit insane
(or whatever you want to call it). All the more reason to listen to them when they lay something down.
Dope MC's being sane? That is a different rabbit hole which I am also happy to visit

Self confessed, the media, her band mates, her fans. Did you never hear 'Unplugged'?
Here's some insight into some of her odd behavior: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20221692,00....

Paraphrasing is the mother of all fuck ups. I always imagined that this was more her saying I want to make music for her ppl and not be a sellout,
than I want my kids to die of aids. I never heard this interview tho. She is obvious not interested in living a mega star lifestyle and she really
puts her money were her mouth is and avoids the limelight.

That was bullshit. Apparently she never said that:
During the summer of 1996, a caller to shock jock Howard Stern’s radio show said on the air that he’d heard Lauryn tell MTV that she’d
rather see her child starve than have a white kid buy her album. MTV would announce later that the allegation wasn’t true, but by that time it was
too late. The ugly, false rumor had already been set in motion.
“From this one broadcast, all of a sudden people who appreciated my music thought that there was something wrong with who I was and what I
represented,” says Lauryn. Instead of letting a publicist act on her behalf, Lauryn, furious and very hurt, called a radio station herself to deny
the charge. “I said, ‘How can I possibly be a racist? My music is universal music. And I believe in God. If I believe in God, then I have to love
all of God’s creations. There can be no segregation.‘”
“Let me clarify this right now,” Lauryn responds forcefully. “I am not a racist. I love people who love God. I love good people. If you’re a
good person with a good heart, you’re cool with me. And I hope I’m cool with you. There’s nothing racist about anything in my heart.“
Lauryn insists she wants people to understand that her goal to improve the self-love of young African-American women should never be confused with
advocating racial supremacy. “There are a lot of young black girls who I meet in my travels who don’t have a lot of self-esteem,” she explains.
“So if I communicate to them that they’re beautiful, no white person should find fault in that. It doesn’t mean that young white girls aren’t
beautiful, because they are just as beautiful.”
