How do any of these main stream rappers compete with those lyrics and delivery. How do Kanye or Jay Z compete? C'mon son.

The beauty about mainstream is once you make enough money you don't have to compete.

Very true. I just wanna know how Kanye or Jay Z fans would think their rappers even have a chance against this guy.

He's good. He was really good before, and now he's just good. But K-Rino is on a different level than Eminem.

Sadly most of their fans won't give two shits about the underground.

LMFAO.... Oh you serious. Space Bound in no way speaks for Eminem's lyrical capabilities. Had you have picked The Way I Am or Kill You I wouldn't have as much of a problem but still, Em ain't as special as they make him out to be.

That's unfortunate. At least there are still some who appreciate the underground and the amazing talent there.

Well one of my good friends is apart of the Underground so I have front row seat to the struggle they go through.

Really? This is basic, go listen to Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth.

Any song in particular? I don't feel like listening to a whole album. From what I heard of Lupe he's alright at best, definitely better than most main stream out there.

The only good Main Stream Rappers now are Lupe Fiasco, Eminem, Kendrick and Nas. Everybody else is either shit or just sold out and started producing shitty raps.

Kanye And Jay-Z were bad examples . College Dropout - Classic , Late Registration - Classic , Graduation - Classic .

Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt - Classic , All Blueprint albums - Classic , Vol 2 Hard Knock Life - Classic .

But yea i do agree with you about mainstream rappers .

Eh, I mean they definitely were better in the beginning, in fact I liked them back then more so than now. But even then I've never heard of a song that matched the lyrical genius and delivery as Solitary Confinement.

This isn't even good.
Boring flow, dull tone, no identity, straight forward lyrics, average substance, weak wordplay, weak pacing, barely any use of rhetoric devices, and low references.
Kanye and Jay Z are better than K-Rino in every aspect, it's just straight disrespect comparing them to this lame ass n*gga

The Black Album hell even The Blueprint holds more lyrical genius, beat selection and delivery than that song lol

Wont even mention Reasonable Doubt. Just go to Rap Genius and scroll through those lyrics
