I thinkk this album is an embarrassment for either of them from a lyrical standpoint. Thats why I
think people who are more into hip hop for its lyrics (who in my opinion are 'real' hip hop fans)
aren't going to like this.
Sorry, but production and flow are as important to hip-hop as lyrics are. "Real hip-hop fans" like hip-hop for a variety of reasons, and to suggest that there's only one kind is needlessly inflammatory.

I'd say rhymes and flow are more important than production, but if the production is particularly cheesy it'll ruin the whole song nonetheless

If you look at the history of hip hop the production and flow were secondary to the lyrics. 'Real hip
hop' is a synonym for 'traditional hip hop', I didn't coin the term, I thought that was obvious.

hop' is a synonym for 'traditional hip hop', I didn't coin the term, I thought that was obvious. If you look at the history of hip-hop you find guys like Kurtis Blow and Doug E. Fresh being considered revolutionary despite being far from lyrical geniuses. "Rapper's Delight" features an extended verse about eating bad food. Not everyone was Rakim.
You even have groups like Public Enemy, who despite all the credit giving to Chuck D and his lyrical ability, would not have been nearly as successful without The Bomb Squad. It's music, not poetry on paper. You've gotta take everything into account.

I miss the great traditional hip-hop lyrics. Like Tupac's 'Fuck 'em All', Akinyele's 'Put It In Your Mouth' and Outkast's 'Ain't No Thang'. Those were lyrical poetry. They should be put in a book with Walt Whitman and Robert Frost! I hate this contemporary shit where all they talk about is ego, sex and black oppression. Talk about boring!

"You've gotta take everything into account." You don't though. There's plenty of people that enjoy hip hop primarily for the lyrics, and they tend to be fans of old school traditional hip hop.
@Cameron I don't have any problem with modern rap's subject matter, I just can't see any skill in most of today's artists, they sound like parodies of what hip hop used to be.That doesn't apply to El-P or Killer Mike, and the beats are really good on here, but i've heard probably a thousand better verses/raps this year than anything on this album.

Old school hip-hop and today's hip-hop are the same damn thing. Saying otherwise is simply being sentimental.

That's like comparing King Crimson to Buck Cherry. Taking an old great song and making a comparison to something new and garbage just doesn't give contemporary hip-hop a fighting chance.

Dear god what a ridiculous comment. The ambitions of money/fame alone that evolved progressively, radically changed hip hop; not to mention the radical culture shift between the pre/post Internet age. Early hip hop wasn't about fame and money and MTV completely changed the entire genre. If you think you can compare Redhead Kingpin to Lil Jon you're just Ignorant. Hip hop history 101 bro

What a radical/controversial ideA:
The most important part of rap is the rapping.
I don't think Sputnik can handle such a profound epiphany.

It's not that there's anything wrong with focusing on the rapping/lyricism when rating an album or forming opinions of it
There is something wrong for criticizing others because they choose to focus on the beats/production instead
there's a reason we don't have a cappella hip hop albums
