Probably some random nobody. Twista was quick, Bone (any member), Busta use to be quick with the flow.

Twisted Insane is fast af

This dude has insane delivery and breath control--the way he flips syllables never ceases to amaze me. Tech N9ne has the propensity to spit pretty fast while maintaining a pretty commanding presence on the mic. There's rapping fast and sounding monotone while doing it...and then there's spittin' fast, maintaining breath control and still dictating the points of enunciation in your delivery and that's what separates the boys from the men. Kool G Rap spits much faster than your average MC and is of course the king of multi-syllabic internal rhyme schemes. Chino XL can rap pretty fast too. |
Man there has been so many good rap artists break through this year. Always good to see :)

who the f cares how fast a rapper can rap? It's just novelty I like to understand what they're saying

Isn't that one of the primary appeal of the genre?
What are you baiting me with? |

completely disagree. Lyrics are actually the most important part for me, the message, the density of lyrics within hip hop is part of the appeal for me. I can see not liking lyrics on a literal level, but even something like aesop rock--where it's so interpretive that i get to take away my own message and perception of life from it is appealing and beneficial.
I agree good lyrics are rare, but not so rare that I forego tuning myself to them. I can't stand death grips just blatantly muttering random syllables; have something to say. I like my human emotions to be well constructed. That's always been something I respected about the genre. The fact that there is often no chorus, but just a constant stream of consciousness thoughts is more appealing to me than relying on screaming or something. |
The Guinness book of records has a worlds fastest rapper listing..I remember when i was a kid In the 80s there was a TV show on in the UK called 'record breakers' and i remember one episode were Daddy Freddy was trying to break the record .he succeeded . It seemed to me he wasnt really 'a rapper' seemed more ragga than hip hop so i thought it was a bit of a cheat (although i was a big fan of the album he made with Asher D).
Found the clip on youtube.. I seem to recall a year or two later another UK rapper JC-001 took the title. I think Rebel XD has the record at the moment from a google search. |

Well constructed human emotions don't need to come from the words in music. In fact, words are often a distraction from the pure sonic expression that is music. I kind of feel like if a piece of music can't stand on it's own without words telling the listener what to feel, it's a bit of a failure musically. |

e.g., I can listen to Li'l Wayne's "Greatest Rapper Alive" even tho the song is not even a candidate for a great showcase of lyrical prowess but the instrumental is so freakin' on fire and Wayne at least rides the beat in harmony--so it's an enjoyable song in my opinion, but lyrically. I don't require something I listen to--to be a clinic on lyricism. But my list of greats are all lyrical beasts in some form or fashion. So my question to you sir (or ma'am) is what do you consider good lyrics, i.e. what are the criteria that qualifies lyrics to be good? |

Lyrics are equal or often more responsible for the surrounding controversy that offers new tolerance of music as an art. Sure it can be often dismissed as shock value for the sake of it but a lot of it was vital. I personally like how lyrics have offered non-musicians a voice within music. It allows new group expression, new characters, new perspectives that you don't get with traditional musicians. |

Janz I agree with you. I was initially just expressing that I find a lot of these speed raps as a sort of novelty and not much more.
is this music? what is this? |
Mac Lethal is awesome... and so is that song^.
In case you didnt know, he does those videos for fun, his albums are nothing like that. |
yeah i poked around his youtube page some and see he does some legitimate music.

I agree with you. I think those lyrics are good. I actually own a death grips album, the one with the dick pic in it.
Alas it's just a little too abrasive for me, at least for now. I think I'll listen to it with change perspective somewhat next go |
Worth a shot, but if you're not into abrasive music you probably won't be into them. Powers That B is my favourite from them.
