Other day somone told me both Eminem's new album & JID's DiCaprio 2 suffered from "rapping about nothing" & being "lyrical miracle"

This is a played out criticism obviously, so here's a thread showing the tradition of "Lyrical Miracle" rap:

Big Daddy Kane, the 1st to literally rhyme "Lyrical" with "Miracle"

Notorious BIG, Machine Gun Funk.

Literally rhyming "Lyrical" with "Miracle"

Nasty Nas himself, Surviving The Times.

Literally rhyming "Lyrical" & "Miracle"

Hip Hop Twitter's precious MF DOOM, doing what ?

Rapping about being good at rapping, mashing words to sound cool.. Is he "saying nothing" ? Are his raps worthless ?

Cause he was rhyming "Lyrical" with... you guessed it, "Miracle"

Even on Kanye's classic Never Let Me Down, the iconic poem from J. IVY rhymes Lyrical, Miracle, Spiritual And Individual..

All the way to Black Thought.

In the most recent example, this year.

I didn't see anyone accusing Tariq of "rapping about nuthin", when he's bragging & boasting about his verbal skills by rhyming: Yes "Lyrical" with " Miracle"

My favorite mc Talib Kweli is also known for "rapping about rapping".

And you best believe he rhymes Lyrical & Miracle while doing it

Retweets would be appreciated lol this narrative needs to die, or at least be curbed downward
