He's good enough that the hyperbole isn't necessary.

He's not a lyricist in the traditional sense a lot of guys who rank Jadakiss among the best look for, but he's a real song writer. There aren't enough of those in rap, not these days and not ever, really.

he's heavily inspird by. michael jackson which i think u can kinda see in his performance mindset

Let's not get into semantics then. It's not hyperbole. I prefer his lyrics to every rapper making music right now. Not even close. It's a subjective determination anyway, so implying what I said is hyperbole is pretty insulting. He has complex schemes paired with meaning in what he says. It's not like saying 2 Chainz is the best lyricist alive.

People who say he's not good lyrically are fucked. He's far and away the best lyricist out currently. Better than underground rapper #596 with the crazy schemes and shit. He just writes about his life and is relatable, with dope af flow and rhyming. With the occasional one-off song.

If you don't like Chance you're a moran.

Yeah that see his demons line was coo.

I'm watching Mary Poppins right now fellas lol.

OK, you make a fair point, and it is subjective.

I agree with the general premise. I think he's the best song writer in rap right now, with Kendrick Lamar a close second. I'd take Pusha T over both for a one-verse guest spot.
