'Why does Ice Spice have to be lyrical when no one else has to be?'

Ice Spice once received a comment regarding her career, specifically questioning her lyrical abilities.

A Reddit user raised a question, "Why does Ice Spice have to be lyrical when no one else has to be?" And the comment further added, "There’s a slew of rappers that aren’t lyrical, barely have flow or anything of substance to rap about. I’m not a hater of the vibe/pop/mumble rap. But I hate the double standard. She has a unique flow and makes cute music for partying to and that’s okay. Same with Lil Uzi. Why can’t we just enjoy everyone the same?"

To the post, one user claimed, "Her flow sounded really jarring to me at first. It's so different from any other rappers I listen to. I had the same reaction the first time I heard Lil B but he grew on me and Ice Spice has too. I like a lot of Lyrical rappers but the most important thing for me about a rapper is that they sound nice."

Another commented on Ice Spice's lyric, "That every line is punched in flashcard flow".

The third commented, "Youre posting this on a sub full of hip hop purists. Ice Spice is good at what she does, making tik-tok rap hits. Theres nothing wrong with that. If you ask a hip-hop purist what they think about Uzi, Ice Spice… obviously they wont like it lol".
