You either don't like rap music or don't understand good rap music if you can't recognize the guy's talent.
Sarcasm, right?
Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
Not at all.
i don't care much for most rap music, but i appreciate good lyrics in whatever form they come. maybe i just don't understand it...
So, do you just judge rap lyrics with a lower standard than rock music?

WTF does rock music have to do with this?
The dude can spit. No amount of "oh look he's a white dude rapping. how cute" can change that. Overexposed? Yes. Stupid trend of putting out shitty comedy track as first single for every record? Yes. Unbelievable skill? No question. Any respectable person in the hip hop field agrees with me on this.
I'm not going to resort to posting lyrics. The dude can go.
If you could take the biggest craps in the world, it wouldn't make you worthy of accolades.

I had to look this up on www.urbandictionary.com to know what the hell you are talking about...
1. spit
when one raps about some normal everyday thing off the top of their head, like soda or a hair brush
it's usually pretty lame and crappy, with profound use of coarse language and the word "yo"
lots of white kids think they can spit when they really can't
Juan: dude why is that white guy over there cursing about his socks?
Andre: he thinks he can spit...
Juan: oh what a poser tard
Sting sans the Police is not very good.
Good rap died when MC Hammer jumped the shark. Now it just perpetuates violence and racism.
Mercury Falling is pretty good. I still like some of his stuff (not so much recently) but I was throwing his name out as an artist that snobs can hate on (when they notice him).
Kenny Chesney
Justin Timberlake (Timberlake is GOOD, though.)
After Chesney had those pantyhose things on his head after that one video, I said I was done. I listened to him a little before that, some of his old school stuff, but that was it. That right there told me "country aint country no more".
What genre would you call Jimmy Buffet? Chesney is the same in my book.
Music snobs love to hate on Emo about as much as I do, but one of my favorite bands was one of the original Emo bands, and that's Korn. Now, they've gone massively downhill recently ever since Head left the band, and their crap is boring now, but their first 4 albums were awesome. I know they're not the first "Emo" band, because I can think of The Cure off the top of my head, but I think I liked how absolutely psycho Korn was. The lyrics were insane because the singer is literally screwed up.
How about Tool? I had a hard time taking their major blasphemy earlier on, but I think they've come up with some really great rhythms and sounds on a lot of their songs, and Lateralus is one of my favorite albums that I own. I've heard a lot of snobs hate on Tool, but maybe it's just me. Their most recent concert in Baton Rouge OWNED though.
