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.
My beef isn't egoistical rapping, it's the overall finished product. I don't feel like any part of it is good at all.

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.
Ethan, I wrote an entire paragraph discussing a single song, that's hardly glib. And I have to say I don't appreciate the repeated insults in your posts. I would think a former mod would realize that's not cool.

No, not really. I was actually pointing out pretty specific things about the two songs, that's hardly the vague statement you're making it out to be.
