WTF was that ni99a Raekwon rhyming about on the cypher?

  • Dog, you really need to stop using the word "we" and go back and read some of these comments. There are people in here literally saying that his verses make no sense. That the stuff he says is just "gobbledee gook" (actual term used). I admit that a lot of Rae verses are stream of conciousness style, and I agree those are his weakest verses. That said, I can give you tons of story tracks where he has a central theme and stays on it perfectly. Cats come in here acting like everything he spits is just some undecipherable crap and that's not true.

    And even the stream of conciousness style isn't that bad. I can understand why some people hate it, but to me it can be tight. It's like shorthand rap, he's delivering everything you need to know in a very succinct manner. There is value to that.

    i hear what your sayin, i shouldnt have used "we"

    i made the huge mistake of thinking all people in the reason had a deep understanding of hip-hop knowlede

    That's flesh against my hollow bones!!!!!

    Ohhhh OHhhhh!!!!

    That was my shit. Props for posting that verse.
  • Rae & Ghost fathered the same style
    i think the reason Rae gets so much heat for it is because he is not as descriptive as GFK is.

    Rae jus be goin on with it like he is speakin in prison code and if you dont get it.. to bad, your life on the line.


    "zig-zag,balloons, hardshell,god hour"
    what???

    he said its his mother's birthday and you should bring her a box of turtles candy at 7.
  • Raekwon has that Grocery List Flow



    Let me try

    7-Up cans,Fast Food Wrappers, tacos and nachos platters making my desk a disaster
    I have many plans, many tabs opened on my internet,
    rap forums, comics, youtube flicks, porn sites with chicks with huge tits
    im sittin here beatin my shit, got the lotion and cum rag on deck,
    sweat dripping from my head down to my chest lookin at my posters
    so much ass, kim kardash, serena will, nikki minaj and them
    dont take these "raekwon" bars seriously, im just trying to rhyme like him

    lmao


    that was nice
    but it sounded more like ghost to me

    Word, that was my favorite song on that album

    If you like Hollow Bones, I bet you like Iron Flag too, that shit was also tight

    EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!

    We have similar taste I can tell. I use to bump this heavily.

    I like that "Windmill" too ( I think it's on the album after the W)


    Yo props fa real though this joint just took me back.

    Nah, Ghost used to use a lot of slang but he didn't really do the whole stream of conciousness thing like Rae. Ghost doesn't do any of that anymore though. He's much clearer and precise these days. That's the main reason why Ghost is better. He expanded and improved his style, while Rae kept the same styles and lost all of his energy and charisma. I'll admit his style was better when he put the energy in it. I don't care what anyone says though. He still brings heat.

    Damn, yeah we think just alike cause Windmill is my favorite song off of 8 Diagrams. That shit is just sick, and Rza flipped that Bang, Bang beat completely differently than anyone else.

    This shit is just ridiculous. No one does posse joints like the Wu.

    I’ve been a fan of that stream-of-consciousness type flow from him and Ghostface, among others.

    I cant be alone here but did anyone else think WTF when he RIP'd decks mom and thought he was referring to deck

    this is another hate thread from the ic's resident uncle tom. smh @ the faggot t/s and the cheerleaders through out this thread. you guys sound like monkeys saying you dont understand raekwon. the part that makes you look stupid is the fact if this was one of Jay Z signature bland lines you dudes would be scanning the internet back and forth trying to turn into a double entrede or metaphor but yet when u get a spitter who throwin jewels yall niggas want to put on ur dunce hats and sit in the back of the class on some scared to speak up shit. if you dont understand rae it sucks to be you. he's in incredible lyricist who paints his picture in unique ways. yall missing out on some grade a shit. but at least raekwon had the gall to even participate in the cipher for u lames to judge those lines that went over yall heads. i didnt see that big lipped faggot anywhere near. i saw kanye though and i saw eminem. Im still LMAO @ u niggas. you dont understand raekwon but you accept a nigga who says he dumbed down his music. i blame these 90s crackbaby mamas for givin birth to children with backbones. u dudes will fall for anything

    lol.......tomp never quits

    i like when he post and hope he never stop posting the way he does..........he brings balance in a funny yet truthful and hateful way

    How the fuck you got the nerve to call someone a uncle tom, when you're whole M.O. is hating on another black man. I bet the only keys on your keyboard is H A T E J Y Z!

    rae is nice..he got a unique style and if u have been listening to the wu as long as i have been then u should have no problem breaking down his bars. half of the fun is deciphering his verse..people arent as creative nowadays with the rhyming like back then when it was impressive to NOT be obvious with your bars, thats the whole reason its an art.

    the same thing hes been talkin about his whole career.


    nothing.

  • I'm not going to front. I like listening to Raekwon. 75% of his lyrics I can understand but that 25% I dont know what the fuck he talking about. I'm not going to pretend like i know everything he's talking about

    It's easy to understand why people unfamilar with Rawkwon would be confused
    I would rather him come up with something like he did instead of all his lines being from a song(cough*Wiz*cough)
