Ferg, Sauce Walka and Ab-Soul Have a Much-Needed Conversation About Lyricism

These days, the conversation around lyricism in hip-hop can be polarizing. Some people argue the new generation of rappers aren't lyrical enough while others feel there are many respected lyricists who don't always get the recognition they deserve. The latest edition of XXL Cypher Lab, presented by the must-see boxing event: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, live on Netflix on November 15, focuses on a few of hip-hop's elite MCs keeping the spirit of rap alive. Sauce Walka, Ab-Soul and Ferg take a seat after delivering their cypher verses to connect for a much-needed conversation about lyricism, competition and collaboration.

Inside The 1896 studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where the XXL Cypher Lab was filmed in early October, the three artists speak from their respective experiences as they thrive in the middle of older and newer generations of hip-hop.
