Don't really care for super technical lyricists, I love simple storytelling and as long as they got some decent lines i can f--- with I'll like it

The people over correcting that "much real hip-hop" s--- are just as dumb tbh. Rap music has always had room for both the gibberish of Rapper's Delight and the poetry of The Message. Not to mention the fundamental misunderstanding that lyricism is a some quantitative figure. Biggie was perfectly comfortable rhyming single syllables when the song called called for it. Aesop Rock isn't good because he uses a bunch of words. He's good because of how he uses a bunch of words. Treating it like math is what gets you hollow, autism rhyme schemes. That doesn't mean it isn't fun to get elegant with structure either.

lyricism
ˈlɪrɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
an artist's expression of emotion in an imaginative and beautiful way; the quality of being lyrical.

Ok, so Future, as a "real1" showing emotion or expressing it is looked down upon and seen as a sign of weakness, so future does his raps in an imaginative beautiful way, he drowns himself in lean and other drugs, so he no longer cares about showing emotion. He then beautifully adds autotune or other distortions to again, mask the pain that he's feeling.

I think it's important, but there are so many different approaches to lyricism that many people might overlook some approaches as non-lyrical. I think Future is a lyricist.
