Fastest Rappers

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

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.

It's still a talent, though. Noone is saying the only measure of a good rapper is how fast they can deliver bars. It's just another aspect of the genre to admire. If you can't understand the lyrics then look them up like a regular human being.

Why do you care what they're saying?

Isn't that one of the primary appeal of the genre?

What are you baiting me with?

Not for me. Good lyrics are so rare that it's always puzzling to me when someone not being able to understand what's being said is an obstacle to enjoying a song. I just tend to like music for the way it sounds. All I require of lyrics is that they're not so bad that they detract from the song which is why, for me, lyrics that are hard to understand or are in another language are often an asset.

A conversation about music I guess.

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.
