Rappers like J.Nahtz, Lightbulb, AZ and Common are known for trying to "save" rap music. This incorporates the idea that hip hop is "dead." Alternately, the term is used to describe a rapper who utilizes complex, intricate multi-syllabic rhymes and rhyme schemes instead of the monosyllabic style which many fans consider to be poorly thought-out or lazy.
