I'm not comparing Tupac and ICP as artists of worth. I like them both. But they're both corny and for many similar reasons even if Tupac does not rise to the mammoth heights of corniness that ICP do. But they still function much the same.

If you read the thread, you'll notice that you're the one who introduced ICP into the scenario. What about Tupac's corniness invokes ICP so readily for you? Maybe they're a lot more similar than you recognize.

It started with Batlord saying he's the ultimate horrorcore rapper after I dissed the kottonmouth kings, ya dolt.

ICP is just a bigger name if the same genre that i happen to know Batlord loves.

Nice try though.

So you went for the most exaggerated form of his argument to make it easier to take down despite that exaggeration being irrelevant to his central point?

I wonder if there's a term for that.

It's not exaggerated

For all I know icp are actually better than kk

They sound like the same crap to me

Keep searching for an angle though

Strawman is actually the term I was looking for, but good effort.

The point is that Tupac is the same kinda of corny even if he was rapping over different production and to a different cliche.
