Styles P Argues That 21 Savage Isn’t A Lyricist

"If you thought Hip Hop was slowing down because it’s the end of the year, Styles P is shaking things up. The controversy regarding 21 Savage’s remarks about Nas’ relevancy took over Hip Hop for a brief period. As conversations have dissipated, Styles shares his unfiltered thoughts about the hot topic.

“You can’t hate the young fellas for being stupid,” Styles said on My Expert Opinion. “If they sayin’ illogical sh*t, that’s our fault. Those that came before ’em, now we gotta pull back and see, where did we f*ck up.”

Others chimed in, and as several voices overlapped one another during the discussion, The Lox hitmaker wanted to make his point clear.

“I like 21 Savage!” Styles declared. “I don’t love him, I like him a lot lot. Don’t love him, I like him a lot, lot, lot. The sh*t he say tickles me pink and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe this n*gga said that. It’s dope.’ I f*cks with him.”

However, Styles switched things up with a passionate delivery.

“My n*gga, you not a lyricist. F*ck all that,” he said. “Drake’s supposed to tell this n*gga, ‘N*gga, chill. That’s Nasir. That’s Nasir Jones.’ My n*gga, you are talented, you are dope. You’re f*ckin’ fly, your flavor, you mean a lot to the culture. You are important… You ain’t one of them. You ain’t a three-point shooter from deep. Nas is.”

Following the controversy, Nas released his 21 Savage collaboration, “One Mic, One Gun.” It was a track that 21 later said was already in the vault. When announcing the single’s release, Nas emphasized the need for more unity in Hip Hop, especially during tense moments.

“Only way we moving is with love, respect and unity,” Nas wrote. “The foundational principles of hip hop. Excited to collaborate with my young brother and I hope more artist use turbulent moments and turn them into a time to make new art. That’s what it’s about.”

Styles has an aggressive way of saying sh*t but is he wrong? I like 21 savage but it ain't like I've ever heard some sh*t he said and was blown away by it. He just can Make some Good music he ain't a lyricist

21 is in my top 5 garbage rapper I ever heard in my life, and I been around hip hop since '85

SP a grown a*s man falling for clickbait headlines

Again, if you people had any semblance of inference skills, you'd know 21 wasn't coming out the side of his neck

Relevance as getting play by the younger generation

Ask yourself, if Nas is a legend, why would that matter

It DOESN'T

So save your fake outrage for something else

ODB greatest talent to me was being waaay outside the box. ODB might have started mumble rap frfr.

With respect to SP, what bothers me about this is how words now more than ever seen to have complete different definitions to people.

Lyricist - a person who writes the words to a popular song or musical.

A lyricist is a songwriter who writes lyrics, as opposed to a composer, who writes the song's music which may include but not limited to the melody, harmony, arrangement and accompaniment.

21 isn’t the lyricist Nas is, and is nowhere near his level, but to say he’s not a lyricist at all is factually incorrect.

All this podcast back and forth.
All this social media buzz & arguing
Then a collab song.
PROVES Nas relevance to the culture.

07:50 PM

EDIT:

7 minutes into the Mike Tyson podcast Styles admitted that 21 Savage was one of the younger rappers that knows his music.

So like I was saying....

Styles made himself look dumb by speaking and not knowing the context.
You can tell he doesn't know by him claiming 21 Savage doesn't know who he is.

sh*t like this is why younger cats dont wanna talk to OGs. n*ggas stubborn.

It should have been OGs speaking on Nas place in current pop culture that's ran by the younger crowd. His dumb a*s really said that in this video.
