Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin/@comment-28938497-20160502190616/@comment-28938497-20160502191622

I never said the lyrics are bad. They're just in Peter and Lloyd's writing style.

Different writers have different styles. You can't just say "ERB are the best rap battle writers in every regard" because they're not. They're not known for going in-depth with references, or writing convoluted clever lines that need an essay to explain every single meaning of, or going into Watsky levels of attention to detail with rhythm or meter, or writing particularly long battles, or using many characters people want to see in a rap battle (such as video games or anime)

But they are damn good, and they are at the top for a good reason.
