And the lyrics? I really don't see how lines like "Fuck you faggots/I'm with a fat bitch/making shit come like I'm go-go gadget" really differentiate Tyler from any other half-assed rapper out there.

I prefer Tyler, the Creator's egotism to that song Matious posted. I never even said they were better, I acknowledged that was personal opinion. Again, if your beef is egotistical rapping about sexual prowess you can basically attack any rapper. I mean, sure, it's a valid critique but uh, yeah it's not remotely unique. I never said the lyrics made him unique (particularly on that track) or different from most rappers. All I said was I think Tyler did it better.
I wasn't even trying to argue that one is objectively better then the other (or more "quality" in your words) in my post. I was arguing that there were aesthetic and sonic differences, which you've pretty snidely written off (I mean "you've certainly done a lot of writing there?" Really? All I was doing was comparing the two songs and explaining why they're different, liked you asked.) I don't really see the point in arguing with you if you're just going to be as glib and arrogant as possible. The last part of your argument is basically "it's lo-fi, with synthesizers and rapping therefore it's similar" but that's like saying "Oh Led Zeppelin uses guitars, bass and drum and so do the Beatles, it's similar."
