Nomad's Rhymes

So ive heard Nomad spit a few times now, once live, many times on Plastician's Rinse show, few videos on youtube (with joker and MAH) and others. Is it just me or does he just rehash his rhymes over and over? I have probably heard the same few lines repeated from Nomad on so many different tracks. A few months back, when a few buddies of mine were over listening to the Plastician/Nomad show, he repeated a whole rhyme from a previous song that it was used on which puzzled us.

Now every podcast i hear him on or any time he appears he just says the same things. Dont get me wrong it sounds SICK on each and every different track ive heard him spit it over but im just used to MCs that just flow and flow off the top of their heads.

This is in no way meant to disrespect anyone, just wondering if this is normal of Nomad to always repeat old lines?
What do you guys think about this?

I've gotta agree with ya that his flow sounds really good meshing over beats from the likes of Joker or whomever, but yeah, he does seem to rehash his rhymes quite a bit from the mixes I've heard. That being said, he is one of the only MCs I actually enjoy listening to (Not sure I've heard too many others that I can even tolerate lol).

If you used to listen to grime then this is nothing new. Freestyles arent lyrics off the top of their heads, its bars they've previously wrote and often from songs. Thats why grime was so hype because everyone knew everyones bars, was sick.
For Kano's launch of 140 grime street they did a freestyle on Logans show and at one point Kano and Ghetto just spit eachothers ryhmes for like 32 bars

This is basically what I was going to say, its a grime thing.

Radio in grime circles has always been spoken of as "practice hours".... It's a place to test out new lyrics, hone skills and also get the public to understand them by hearing them over and over.

It's nothing unusual, just a grime thing - if you listen to any 2 hour grime show with one or two MC's you'll hear this often.

Big up Nomad. Defo one of the best MC's out there

Saw Nomad with Joker two times but I don't think he did a lot of rhymes. Definitely like what I hear from the Rinse show though.

It's not about mc's saying the same bars over and over whoever it is... who do you hear over dubstep out on a regular that really rock it? i don't know one that doesn't do some stupid catch phrase or boring remark! There will be some course but they aren't prominent
