you look like a prettier big L haha no homo yo

[InPhamous]

Lol ok but what do you think of the question im proposin?

[waxandherbalt]

i agree with mel...the most important thing is basically to not be boring. originality and overall entertainment value can be achieved with or without punchlines.

[CrystalSeth412]

i think that a good writer should have punch lines, a punch line can be a climax of a song... trust me straight lyrics is legit like mos def, talib...but people like that rap for a cause you know, trying to make changes through their lyrics, because they know people will pay attention regardless, a punchline artist may need that punch line to keep the attention of a listener, or throw it in and go hard on the whole jam, it doesnt matter the circumstance taste in rap, there will always be 2 sides

[kosg90]

it depends, as a rapper/emcee, yea id say if you wanna really be respected by many, you gotta be able to push boundaries in all directions. Eminem, nas or Immortal Tech. is proof of rappers whose done well at many different directions in rap.

But as a musical artist, you dont have to say shit. You can make tracks like 2pacs Cant C me which has a handful of punches, but the majority of the tracks is just him saying hes got money, hoes, guns and killing niggaz.

That songs more about feeling

Either punchlines or the truth. Something people can relate to, or enjoy listening to. From the UK, punchlines=Rhyme Asylum & message=Lowkey, search for them on youtube and check them out. Anyway I'm not a proper rapper like most people commenting probably are, I occasionally write bars and sometimes record but I'm mainly talking from the viewpoint of a listener.

I think I've only heard a few people do punchlines in 'deep'tracks.

[moonsoonmenu]

He doesn't have to be anything hommie. You are what you are. My question is what is a punchline really? I think its just a really clever line. I mean if you can put in punchlines with "deep" rhymes that right there is a crazy mc.

[moonsoonmenu]

NEVER!!! lol sike your right

[Certifyde444]

you dont NEED punchlines but thats what most ppl focus on now so i guess you do lol idk good question bro. you do need punchlines at time tho. you cant just spit 100 bars no punchlines, that ish is boring to listen to. lol xD

Much Love

[OneTrueVerse]

Honestly i'm not even sure what a punchline is "exactly" But think a rapper doesn't have to have punchlines always

[waxandherbalt]

mos def and kweli got punchlines for days too though

[TeeTownSounds]

Exactly...they're too over-done these days.

Give me a few SICK ones...and not a whole track of mediocre, hit and miss pussy punchlines.

But a true rapper should always have a FEW punchlines, metaphors and wordplays in their arsenal.
