Where does Eminem and other rappers get there Vocabulary?

[titan23]

I'm not saying they're not smart, but even Wayne seems like he has a more expanded vocabulary than me, and I surpassed his amount of knowledge in 4th grade, when girls still had "coodies"

Where do they get there vocabulary? Study dictionaries? Thesauras's?
And in Eminem's case, even though he's famous, where does he find about all these things that happen with different celebs, he like knows everything that's going on. He must be everyone's #1 speed dial

Wayne has a ghostwriter, Em read the dictionary many times when he was a kid.

You already used that in the other thread, faggot. Let's not put GIFs in everyone of my threads that I'm asking a question in, cocksucker.

[titan23]

yeah like they said, em just went through a dictionary to find bigass words that rhymed

I thought so, but what about rappers like Immortal Technique? Was it just because of his background education his father put him through, or he studied the dictionary too?

You have no sense of humor do you ?

besides how many questions do you have in one day ? don't you have a life of your own that you need to worry about ?

Your vocabulary will naturally increase if you habitually spend time obsessing on it.

Which is basically what a good rap lyricist does. That's why I hate gangsta rap, it's so fucking lame and takes the art out of rap. People like 50 Cent, relying more on image and story than skills like it's something to be proud of. I don't give a shit if you're lying or not, if you've sold drugs or not, all I care about is your rapping ability.

I want to be wowed, I want to be impressed with verbal dexterity and delivery. Eminem is a true wordsmith in that sense, that's all he cares about. That's why people often complain about his subject matter because to be honest, it's a secondary concern to him, he's a true lyricist.

So if you spend time constantly trying to fit words here and there, make X sound more phonetically appealing to the ear etc. then you're bound to find more words to achieve that. Which is the same with any form of writing. Em is essentially doing what any great writer also does just in a more... Focused way as he's not writing at great length but rather in short bursts and rhyming consistently.

But I used to run an Internet marketing blog and force myself to write posts every day. And my vocabulary just naturally increased because I'm obsessing so much on it. So it's not like they start off with it, it's just practice, like anything.

not when every post you make in my threads, has a GIF in it, of you trying to be a smartass. I've asked 2 questions on this forum, since I've registered. Anything else, you wanna fucking be clueless about?

Makes sense, never thought about it that way. I'm sure he does other stuff, but yeah that does make sense. I don't understand why other people just can't post what you said, instead of being smartass faggots about it.

Thanks

recovery was pretty dumbed down

I know, there weren't as many complex words, but I'm just talking about as a whole, through all his albums, songs, and freestyles, his vocabulary is so widely expanded and accurate, that I couldn't figure out where he developed it considering the type of early life he had.
