"When I come back like Jordan wearing the four five...

it ain to play games witchu..." Jay-Z

Alright that quote is not related to the post in any way but M.J. is heading to the hall of fame and I am a little emotional about it.



Anyway, It is en vogue for a lot of rappers to brag about how easy spitting lyrics comes to them. The problem is, that for many of them, the only "easy" part is how simple it would be to write some of the half-baked garbage rhymes they spit.

But when I think about rappers whos flow seemed to fit into the easy category the first name I think about is Big Pun.



flow Pun's flow seemed almost effortless. Regardless of the beat, slow or fast, pop or gutter, Pun seemed to ride that shit with no problem. As evidenced by the countless number of imitators after him, many have attempted to replicate his exploits with limited success. Many of them simply seem to be trying to "force" their rapid flow into a small space.

This is a typical Pun rhyme in terms of content, however, in addition to his liquid flow, what stands out to me is the company he is keeping. Shining on a D.I.T.C track with these heavyweights is no small feat.
