* Someone who switches it up. Never does the same thing twice
* Someone who can make fun music, but be creative
* Someone who isn’t afraid to express themselves
* Someone who doesn’t follow trends
* Someone who brings in different genres of music to make a good song.
* Most importantly, LYRICS. Some rappers seem to forget that hip-hop isn’t about drugs, money, and hoes.
