Delivery - "Supa Dupa Flow"?

I was recently reading up on a quarrel between a few MCs about a particular type of "flow". Ludacris took exception to  comments made by Drake and Big Sean regarding usage of something called "Supa Dupa Flow" which Drake and Big Sean implied originated with Sean, however was brought to popularity by Drake. Many contemporary rappers have utilized this type of wordplay and delivery pattern in which they speak on a topic, pause, then use one word that exemplifies what it was that they just said.

"You and all of those white girls-Party of Five" - Drake

"Still air shit out - Drew Brees" - Cam'ron

"So where my dogs at - Randy"- Nicki Minaj

The song itself is cool, I'm just glad Luda used it as a chance to educate them with a History Lesson.

I thought the whole "beef" was silly and did not intend to blog about it because no idea is original. Besides, it is not really a "flow", it's more of a delivery style than anything. A delivery that has become at best, cliche, and at worst lazy and unimaginative.

"Even if I stuttered I would still...

Sh,sh,shit on you" - Big Pun

 

"B-b-b-bet I am

All of them bitches I’m better than
Mansions in Malibu, Babylon 

But I never mention everything I dabble in
And I always ride slow when I’m straddlin’
And my shit’s so wet you gotta paddle in
Gotta r-r-row, gotta row ya boat
It’s Pink Friday rockers.. and OVO"

- Nicki Minaj off of Drake's "Make me Proud"

Initially I was going to do this post as a Vomitspit, on the "Shit so wet" line. It would have read something like this, "Onika Maraj with fornication suggestions based on her level of arousal". However I felt the need to provide context for her end-rhyme rhyme scheme that she kept going for a few bars. Then I thought I probably should mention her starting with the stutter and then coming back to it later in the verse. Not to mention the thoughtful mispronouncing of the word "Babylon" Next I said to myself, you might as well write about her tendency to accelerate the cadence in her flow while simultaneously altering her pitch, which dramatically affects the her overall delivery. Later I said, "I can't have a blog about elements of lyricism and not have something about Nicki Minaj.
