Not really in order, but we're on the same side of the fence.  As Rakim is the G.O.A.T.  Period.  I'm a huge Hov fan, & would love to put him @ #1 as many other people have.  But Rakim was spitting that shit in '86 (Possibly greatest line ever):
 
 I take 7 mcâ??s put em in a line/
 And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme/
 Well, itâ??ll take 7 more before I go for mine/
 And thatâ??s 21 mcâ??s ate up at the same time.
 
 Again I repeat.  The G.O.A.T.  
 
 And as far as that Biggie remark, just when I think this Hunter cat might be cool - you go & say some off-brand shit like that.  SMH . . .
 
 *Sorry Bags: *COPOUT POST*
 
 Heard from a little birdie that Jay-Z Rams Head tickets will go on-sale Friday or Saturday @ noon.  Unconfirmed . . .

Rakim (The GOAT)
 

Speaking of which..
 
 Rakim
 9:30 Club, Nov. 18
 
 For my money, Illmatic is the best hip-hop album front to back. Nine solid tracks, only one (smokin') guest, incredible flow and lyrics, and perfect production for a debut.

MIGHT be cool? Do I have to work harder to win you over sweetness? HAHA
 Seriously man, while some hip hop fans may disagree with me, vocal tone and delivery for me are key before anything else meaning if someone rapping has more of a speech impediment than EPMD or Biz Markie then I'm probably not listening to them.  So having said that, I don't give a fuck if Biggie was rapping about where to find buried treasure I personally can't get past his voice that sounds like he's dealing with an eternal loogie.

Buried treasure?  HAHAHAHAHAHA
 
 I disagree with you real hard - no matter.
 
 Looks like ggw just got some comp for post of the week.
 
 P.S. You still got credits with me for agreeing Lil' Wayne is overrated as hell . . .

With Ghostface - another rapper better than 2Pac. I would list Ghost among one of the best rappers ever...

His albums have been the most consistent of all the Wu solo discs, but I think Raekwon and Inspectah Deck were/are better rappers.

Love Deck, but his albums catalog/verbal dexterity pale in comparison to Ghost.  Verbally I may give the edge to Rae over Ghost.  But his albums catalog collapses under the weight of Ghost's.
 
 But pound for pound, just off lyrical skills alone, I give the edge to Genius as far as the Wu.  Lyrically, Meth may be the best just behind Genius (Liquid Swords = Best Wu album ever IMO), but all his albums suck ass.  Just my assessment.  Take it for what it is . . .

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
 
 Please. Just stop.
 
 With Biggie's records out there you can't say that. I'd take MF Doom over 2pac any day. Everyone should.
