Other day somone told me both Eminem& #39;s new album & JID& #39;s DiCaprio 2 suffered from "rapping about nothing" & being "lyrical miracle"

This is a played out criticism obviously, so here& #39;s a thread showing the tradition of "Lyrical Miracle" rap: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏿" title="Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏿" title="Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)">

Big Daddy Kane, the 1st to literally rhyme "Lyrical" with "Miracle"

Notorious BIG, Machine Gun Funk.

Literally rhyming "Lyrical" with "Miracle"

Nasty Nas himself, Surviving The Times.

Literally rhyming "Lyrical" & "Miracle"

Hip Hop Twitter& #39;s precious MF DOOM, doing what ?

Rapping about being good at rapping, mashing words to sound cool.. Is he "saying nothing" ? Are his raps worthless ?

Cause he was rhyming "Lyrical" with... you guessed it, "Miracle"

Even on Kanye& #39;s classic Never Let Me Down, the iconic poem from J. IVY rhymes Lyrical, Miracle, Spiritual And Individual..

All the way to Black Thought.

In the most recent example, this year.

I didn& #39;t see anyone accusing Tariq of "rapping about nuthin", when he& #39;s bragging & boasting about his verbal skills by rhyming: Yes "Lyrical" with " Miracle"

My favorite mc Talib Kweli is also known for "rapping about rapping".

And you best believe he rhymes Lyrical & Miracle while doing it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">

Retweets would be appreciated lol this narrative needs to die, or at least be curbed downward
