My problem with Vinnie Paz

Postby Satire » May 1st, '11, 10:07

I'm going to portray Free Speech here (I'm so fucking amazing at these double entendres I should write for Kanye West) and break down another rapper in McLuvin's top 10.

My problem with Vinnie Paz & alot of underground rappers is that on every song, other than his voice changing from album to album, he sounds the same on every track. Call his delivery rugged but it seems like he's literally incapable of changing his emotion. Razorblade Salvation is a sad song, Put Em in The Grave is an angry song, and Uncommon Valor is a song about the war in Vietnam. He uses the same attitude in every one of these.

Another problem is his sense of rhythm. There are people like Nas and Diabolic who go at the same pace in almost every one of their songs but it isn't nearly as repetitive as this. With Vinnie it's ALWAYS so predictable. I can literally mimic his flow, I've heard it so much. Vinnie Paz's rhyme schemes are always set up like this:
A--------------A
----------------A
A--------------B
----------------B
B

or he switches it up and just uses the same rhyme scheme for 4 bars. His infliction as he goes from rhyme to rhyme is always the same too.

And just to throw it in there, his punchlines are kinda meh. "Give me all the cash money like birdman". Maybe I haven't heard enough.

Don't get me wrong, I still love SIH, KIH and noticed these problems but said "You know what, it's cool because he only did it for this one album", then I proceeded to download more albums by JMT only to realize that the only thing changing is his voice. It's a turn off to listen to the rest of his catalog if the only thing that's left to be impressed by is the beat. Problems like these are what keeps a decent MC from ever being called 'One of the greatest of all time', atleast in my book.

Oh bra, that was a cool story :y:
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

I can't help but to cling to them. They're so small yet so intimate and secure. It feels cozy down here.

DA, you've literally never heard a Paz song.

His rhyme scheme is so predictable and his multis are a little choppy, but I still love him. Probably in my top 5 all time. Good voice/flow/delivery, great rhyming, good content, and phenomenal production.
