    No, but having a great flow and being good lyrically have nothing to do with one another.

    when dealing with lyrics in rap the words need to "flow together" right...

    I never said they had anything to do with each other, but I do think lyrics and flow go hand in hand here...

    Gibbs is unreal. its crazy how his flow can switch in any part of the song. probably my 2nd favorite rapper right now behind j. cole

    For any of you who havent heard alot of Gibbs, get the labels trynna kill me mixtape. 81 songs of his best stuff, some are about a minute long. Great mixtape

    National Anthem, Crushin Feelings, and Murda on my Mind are the best imo. He is gonna blow up for sure, hopefully he doesnt change once he does.

    16 bars ain't enough to explain the pain
    I could drink a whole 5th, burn a whole zip
    When the high wear off the stress still exists
    So I get blitzed the whole day and never think twice
    I'm guessing I should change my life

    I actually feel he's underrated. Obviously not a top-of-the-line lyricist, but he's not nearly as bad as some people make him out to be.
    I quoted you since I was talking to you about it a little while back, but you guys have slowly changed my hiphop preferences in a huge way.

    I still wish I could find a way to DL Chino...

    Jason Collins claims he is the first openly gay NBA player despite the fact we witnessed the entire league bend the Lakers over all season.

    Being a good lyricist and having good flow are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things. Someone can have GREAT flow but not be so great lyrically, and vice versa. I don't know if you realize what being a great lyricist means.

    well since I have common sense it would mean someone that can create good "LYRICS"

    it's all semantics but IMO, the lyrics need to be able to flow well in order to be good...

    what do you think a great lyricist is?...just using huge words like the RZA or something?...if you don't rap like you are holding a thesaurus you suck or something?

    that isn't what it is IMO...

    the RZA can have some amazingly complex lyrics, but on many occasions the words don't flow well...thus the lyrics don't work

    No it doesn't since we already established they are independent
    of eachother

    That's outright false.

    "we established"???

    I didn't establish that...you established your own nonsense...


    saying lyrics don't matter to a flow is like saying the food or ingrediants don't matter to "cooking"...a chef needs good ingrediatants to cook with just like a rap artist needs good lyrics to flow with...

    Now your opinion (which I originally respected) is turning into a bunch of ridiculous statements. Saying he is lyrical and has good flow is one thing. Saying other rappers are NOT capable of matching him is another, especially when I can probably name at least 50 rappers off the top of my head that are better than Freddie Gibbs. I mean, for God's sake; Canibus, Chino XL, Ras Kass, and Pharoahe Monch, arguably the four best lyricists in history, would absolutely eat him alive, and that's only naming a few.

    Glad to hear it.

    And the mediafire link still doesn't work??? Another option (it is VERY tedious, but nevertheless an option) for you would be to download a YouTube to MP3 converter (I find DVDVideoSoft to be the best) and download all of his songs off of YouTube.

    but they are Independent of each other ie. good flow does not mean you have good lyrics.

    Freddie Gibbs is an example

    I love gangsta Gibbs. I've worn out all of his mixtapes. But I could name 50 better lyricists without even trying.

    Like mentioned above me a few times, lyricism and flow are independent. You can have GREAT lyrics but ****** flow, and vice versa. Take a song by Nas, and say that someone like me came up with that song, I would deliver it differently than Nas would, and if my delivery sucks, my flow sucks, but it doesn't mean that the lyricism sucks.
