Transcript
Even really be listening to rank. Like, hip hop. I I listen to hip hop. Hip hop is not rap. Rap tier is one part. You know, it's actually 10 elements to hip hop. For me, like, I like rappers a little more like lyrical. Like like rappers, like a message. But when he said, when he said, what he say? When he said on that, what he say? When he said that, he really bodied that. Oh, nah. He really did body that. H to the o v. I was like, oh. I say Eminem's probably a little bit better lyrically, but nah. Nah. No really popping though. You guys ever heard of tier roots?
