There are many components to being a respected rapper. Flow is always important and having the right voice is key. Songwriting ability is something that not many MCs possess and being able to spit lyrics is a skill that escapes many. The problem is the best songwriters really don’t have the best one-liners (i.e. Scarface, Pac and Nas) while the game’s illest spitters (i.e. Canibus, Chino XL, Ras Kass) don’t necessarily make GREAT songs. See I was over some of ya’ll heads with that last post on Plies. So today we gonna go in the opposite direction. Go ahead ya’ll spit ‘yo game and talk ‘yo shit! What’s your favorite one-liners?
