Why does the fact that he has good lyrics have to excuse the other fact that the music is unlistenable? I am not asking for beats that don't need great lyrics to make a good song the way Lex Luger beats are making subpar MCs sound good, all I am asking for is beats that don't make my brain explode when I try to listen to them. Is it so hard to pick something that doesn't scream "I'm gay!"???
Odd Future is a great example of how you do that - while Tyler has made some truly amazing beats, others, like that Earl video for example which doesn't really have much of a beat to begin with, have something really simple that you most likely wouldn't ever want to listen to without the verses. But it sounds dope because the verses are dope and the beat doesn't kill them even though it is on the simplistic side. So why does Lupe Fiasco have to rap over such shitty music?
