Lyrics or the beat?

What do you prefer, a really booming or engaging beat/ instrumentation, or lyrics that grab your attention and really give you an image of what the artist is going though? 
Considering that some of my favorite artists are 2Pac and Biggie, I am kinda partial to the lyrics side. Don't get me wrong though the beat can really carry a terrible song. Example:  Trinidad James-Gold Watch song. I think that song became popular because of the featured artist in it. When I write my music, I try to speak from experience put that to writing. One of the hardest things is to create an image with writing, but once you do you can really captivate and audience. Putting that to a great beat makes a great song. You can really tell the great artist from the ones who will be gone quickly. Just think about your favorite artist for a second... Do they have good content... Lyrics... most of them do. Now what about the popular songs you hear on the radio... Do you see yourself listening to that particular song over and over? Most likely not. Most of the songs we hear are fads that will fade in a short amount of time. The reason the particular song made it was probably because it had a great beat that you could bump in your car. I cant tell you the last time i listened to the radio. Most of the songs i make now i try to put thought into every lyric. What are some of your thoughts? Let me know if you prefer the lyrics or the beat and why. Leave a comment below and share the discussion.
