I agree witty.
Well maybe not. At least top 10. Just for building the style itself. But there are so many different types of lyricists in the sense of how they flow and structure shit it gets tricky.

Although id still put him top 10 cuz he was ridiculous with the bars But i mean if were talking top 5 or 10 if any of them use his cadence i have a hard time putting them above him. But i mean when it comes to just rapping talent id put jay electronica up there and hes basically done nothing lmao. Black thought Az Old Em Etc. All are different stylistically but they all get intricate and ridiculous. There are tons of them though and i could change them on any given day so i wont even try to make a list. But i see your point. Plenty of dudes use styles others like rakim kane kool g etc all fathered and id put above them so i see your argument.

as far as MC talent, I think that's a reasonable opinion to have. idk if I'd give him top 5, but it's not that far-fetched.
for my money, Pharoahe Monch is top 5 along with Pun, Biggie and Em and then idk.

@quaker oats I agree 100% with your post...I just think he was incredibly ahead of his time. Thinking about it, maybe I jumped the gun on top 5, he was ill as fuck tho, but yeah I've been listening to his shit like I do every so often and it got me hyped.

Negating the whole "purely on rapping skills" concept Idk I can see the argument that being ahead of his time is part of his Skillset Still tho To me To fully respect the discussion ur posing........all rappers should be heard without anything in mind aside from rapping talent Era should be irrelevant Though again I see the argument to the contrary |
