Harden and Russ cooking the Lakers in Game 1 of the 2020 WCSF. This duo was special.

His statement is to absolute to be true & I reject your premise because I don’t believe those are opposites. Songwriting is part of rap it isn’t separate from it. Rap songs are songs. Lyricism & songwriting overlap rather than compete. Unless you’re strictly speaking on battle rap. Some of the greatest rap songs hit both together. Lyrics can create emotion & emotion gives the lyrics weight. You can’t really separate them. Writing a great rap song is a skill. I think your head vs heart model is incomplete @MickeyFactz I’d add in soul as another component. If someone values lyricism more that’s valid, if someone values songwriting more, also valid. But you can’t use either PREFERENCE to make someone more or less of a rap fan. Lyricism concerns the craft of the words; their structure, density & expressive possibilities. Songwriting concerns how those words along with performance, melody, rhythm & arrangement create a complete experience. A great rap song can excel in one or the other or both simultaneously. The rarest artists are the ones whose technical mastery deepens the emotional experience instead of distracting from it. Rap has always contained multiple traditions. Even in its early years, there wasn’t just one ideal. Artists are celebrated for different strengths. We have party music & crowd control, battle rapping, storytelling, political commentary, technical lyricism, humor, hooks & songwriting. A great artists will be well rounded & HipHop doesn’t have one universally accepted scoring system.

@gmalone This is the best assessment of season 1 TDE that isn’t my own. I’d say Q songwriting is a bit underrated as well.

Before LeBron, both credit and blame went to the stars of the team. Role players never caught flak for losing. Once LeBron became the face of the league and couldn't deliver chips like MJ, every single one of his teammates became the scapegoat for the fake GOAT.
