    Gawd, is this actually a debate in hip hop?

    I’m sorry but Kanye is not a “lyrical rapper.” He’s colorful, sure, but Wayne and Wale are more lyrical than Kanye. Also, some people think lyrical means Lauryn Hill, and some people think it means Posdnous, and some people think it means Jigga, and some people think it means Ghostface. Whatever the key value is, though, it sure as hell ain’t “virtuosity.”
