thoughts/opinions

Answer 1

im not a fan of that, but at least he gets the syllables correct and not like others who add in syllables so it will sound right, or even worse making up words to rhyme

Answer 2

kinda weak.. i like andre 3000 nonetheless

i dont like weezy though

Answer 3

Good question N.A.S.T.Y.

I think that in some cases it can be seen as being creative, like the one that you pointed out.  It was done to enhance the song, and we all know that Andre can deliver good lyrics without it.  

If an artist only does that, and shows no signs of dope lyricism elsewhere, then it could be seen as a weakness.

Answer 4

Sign of weaknezz.

Wayne rhyming "fune-er-ul" with "fun-er-al" is clever.

Answer 5

Sometimes even the best lyricists will do that. The Notorious BIG, Rakim, KRS-One, Nas, etc.
