And good thing he doesn't spit that.

Mean, it's dope but not THE dopest. It's a figure of speech kinda, IDK, us negroes talk like that I guess haha.


It's just like what he was talking about on The Adolescence Interlude

"All I do is wear yellow and blue cause I make green

You could come like that, it's simple, it's second level thinking but if you're talented you can hit someone with a metaphor like

I don't know what kinda crap these cats are spittin
Cause there raps are simpler than Tesseracts in 5th dimension

You gotta spit somethin when the listeners don't immediately know the metaphorical significance"

He's become the rapper he used to diss

What's so clever about that metaphor though? The metaphor doesn't require "talent", just someone who did/read some math. It's no different from saying "... simpler than a square in 3D/a line in 2D" heck he could have just said "...simpler than a line on paper."

Because the listener already knows what a square and a line is

Do you mean it requires talent to say something a listener doesn't know already? Will it require talent to get a thesaurus and replace every word in this sentence with long-ass synonyms that readers don't already know?

I never said it requires talent dumbass, I was quoting him that whole post explaining that he turned into the rapper that he used to diss. It does however require some knowledge and dedication to school/studies.

For some of his punches, not all. It's obvious he wrote The Brain with what he learned in college considering he's studying to become and Anthropologist.

I know, Prince Ea is a crazy smart dude, it's just that those type of lines don't automatically impress me. I'm not saying he shouldn't talk what he knows, I think it's really cool he can incorporate his major into his lyrics, it shows he's really rapping about what he loves.

Well that kind of stuff fascinates me, take his verse on Paranoid Chillin for example. He taught me about

What a polymath is
Who Bob Gimlin is
What a planck length is
Who Dirac, Tesla, Feynman and Kepler are before I learned about them in school
What the Drake Equation is
The movie K-Pax
Who Mokole Mbeme is
What the Shroud of Turin is


All in once verse.

I mean, if you enjoy it then it's all good. I do know what about half of that stuff is, Prince is a cool dude.

Fun fact, Ea was the Akkadian and Babylonian God of Intelligence and I'm pretty sure that's where he got his name from.
