I'm serious, which song do you think displays the most swag and charisma?
I think it's Jay-Z's "U Don't Know". No other songs has boasts that sounds so gargantuan or convincing. Plus I love how he responds to the sample "That's where you're wrong..."
I'd have to say it's a toss up between Flashing Lights and the obvious, POWER
This Can't Be Life is pretty high up there too

Outkast, everything about them just screams swag. They were flamboyant, funky, unique like no one else.

Big was a suave dude, but he tried to hard. Swag has to come natural.

>Big was a suave dude, but he tried to hard.
said the nigga who replied to every post in the thread
I can't think of a rapper whose confidence sounds more natural than Biggie's
>>69166072
Even that is whack as fuck. Outkast is nerd backpacker trash wannabee Fugees. They are overrated.
here's both of them
>>69166119
Confidence, yeah, subject matter, no.
>>69166138
Outkast in no way sounds like the fugees
ugk something something

>wannabe Fugees
you're fucking retarded dude
>>69166149
I don't really get what you mean honestly
>>69166205
Big said the things he needed to say to sell records. It worked, his flow and rhyme schemes were great, smooth and hard at the same time. I do believe he did a lot of the shit he rapped about, but his swag was his image, thats why i wouldnt put him at the number 1 spot.
Early LL, take your pick.
Dre and his associated acts are pretty good at that grandiose charismatic braggadocio anthemic rap imo.

Regulate's a really good "cruising" song, and Nate Dogg is amazing, but for hard-hitting beats with charismatic delivery I would still go for Deeez Nuuuts, the tracks I mentioned off 2001, or Issues; I can't get enough of the loud, crisp drums, full-sounding bass, or blaring synths that are on those cuts to varying degrees, personally.
Also, I've never heard anyone else mention Deeez Nuuuts when talking about The Chronic, awesome. But then again, The Chronic isn't really talked about on here anyway, so idk
