[QUOTE=Luc214;18340483]flow is like singing style. You can't say a song is well written or not based around how the singer sings

beats are generally the same throughout the song, there isn't a musical progression in the same way regular guitar and drums based music progresses.

We would say good PRODUCTION in any case if we were talking about beats[/QUOTE]

really don't care about this nitpicking. i didn't want to assume you just meant lyrics. look at above point.

[QUOTE=blockhead_;18340481]my point is: the majority of mainstream rap music is shallow. ludacris, soulja boy, 50 cent etc.

you are the one that brought punk music into the argument, i only talked about the dead kennedys.[/QUOTE]

so first it was the majority of rap and now it's the majority of mainstream rap huh

and actually i brought up your favorite type of music when you insulted music i listen to.

[quote]it has more lyrical substance than these songs about bitches, money and material possessions. it's shallow musically and lyrically[/quote]

you're arguing that lyrical substance is based off of what the songs are written about, which is completely ludicrous and ignoring poetic devices, etc

arguin about wmusic wiht blockhed

[QUOTE=christsimpson;18340487]idk what the discussion is, but the fact is that the majority of mainstream music period is shallow. you can't have Bal-Sagoth's lyrics and expect to be a pop band, LOL.[/QUOTE]

implying bal-sagoth has deep lyrics

[QUOTE=thespacekitty;18340493]arguin about wmusic wiht blockhed[/QUOTE]

no they're not arguing about music, they're arguing about rap/hip hop.
