Okay I'm trying to learn how to do punchlines better

Who are the 10 best punchline artists in your opinion
Face One
Though I know naught of what you do lyrically, here's what I would suggest expand your subject matter & vocabulary, focus on the syntax of your rhymes, and work your delivery... in time and with development your punchline skills will emerge.
Fable
Vakill
Copywrite
Chino XL (although alot of his shit is cheese)

Fable you got anymore, cause Vakill is the only one I haven't listened to.

dont forget too that a lot of guys that arent punchline mc's are still very good at them too. check dope rappers albums or mixtapes and theres usually some punchline/lyrical tracks on there.

masta ace aint a punchline mc but hes got plenty. same with louis logic a lot of other well rounded rappers.
Fable
couple of others off the top of my head

Louis Logic
Tonedeff
Icon The Mic King (he sounds mad corny, but some of his lines have made me say WoWzErS..."spit rhymes cause i hate the way my thoughts taste)
Crooked I
Illmaculate
TheSaurus is nice


cant think of too many others


listen to Vakill though...the shit he says is fucking bonkers...his flow needs work, but his lines are next level

"pulled bricks from the walls of my imagination, and threw them through the window of opportunity"

his shits bananas
BlackBox The Elijah
BlackBox.
Art
Big L, Lloyd Banks, Copywrite, Juice, Vakill

Though I'm not sure you can "learn" how to write punchlines better. Punchlines are really simple to write, the hardest part is the idea itself.
verbalfire
Lloyd Banks
Jadakiss
Cassidy

Termanology is ok but the top 3 are def UP there

First of all, it was my opinion. No more, no less. Calm down. Their accent is just an ADDITIONAL reason why they suck, as far as I care.

Secondly, you started whining like YOU are part of that lame ass group or something. Why do YOU give a fuck if I think THEY are wack? Silly faggot, Nut-hugging's for kids!!

Lastly, watch your typing tone when you type at me, Sugarboobs. I would -Rep you, but apparently CC has decided almost unamymously that you suck, so I would just be beating a dead gay horse by attacking you in that fashion.

Now, thanks for coming out and have a nice day.

Lol @ Blackbox's List.
Punchlines are just bad jokes.
Aerubix
Jakki has some of the corniest shit ive ever heard


and why is he always mentioning Jehova when he spits? i hear him mention that at least once per song
BlackBox The Elijah
^Cause the last album was called "God Vs. Satan." It was a concept album.

Lets see your list. It's all opinions. But I agree they usually are just bad jokes.

okay..but what about when he gets on other peoples shit and still raps about Jehova on every song?


Jakki is corny as fuck
BlackBox The Elijah
I dunno he's made a deal with Jehova I guess.
BlackBox The Elijah
We should be dropping our favorite punchlines...that would make this thread a whole lot more interesting...

i wish Copy were rollin with someone that's on his level, i guess dontknow.gif


Jakki has a few okay lines, compared to Copy's constant heat, but his scheme is too basic...i feel that it brings Copy's shit down a level
TheTruthIsBack
i prey on the weak like i missed a sunday service?


tell me that isn't up with the best punchlines from the mc's you put at the top of your list.. you can't deny it.


WE ARE AMERICAN.. WE DONT HAVE ACCENTS. fucking idiot.. not even going to bother.
BlackBox The Elijah
Well what do we all consider a punchline? I see it as more of a battle rhyme...not wordplay or metaphoring. I think they're all different. But that is just me.
BlackBox The Elijah
I forgot about K-Rino... huh.gif
TheSweetScience
BDK
Lord Finesse and DITC
Dres
Bis
Slim Shady
Big L
Cassidy
Chino
Pariah
Listening to Chino is a great way to learn punchlines because he is an example of what works best with punchlines but also what works worst.
Gremlin
