I wasn't specifically referring to "radio rappers". I mean even the likes of Vinny Paz and Immortal Technique. Mos Def and Lupe Fiasco were mentioned. The reason people notice them, and the reason they stand out, is BECAUSE they use these small little poetic techniques. That's their edge. The reason it makes them different, is because almost every other rapper, popular or not, doesn't use those kind of techniques.
