It depends mostly on who I'm listening to and what the song is about. If I'm listening to someone like Common or Mos Def, they don't need a punchline as long as their message is on point. If I'm listening to someone like Papoose or Cassidy rapping the usual bravado-filled "I'm the shit and no one can fuck with me" type of rap, I would be thoroughly disappointed if I didn't hear one good punchline.
