I know this track is kinda out of kilt with the rest of the tunes in this thread but still, there's not many songs I have EVER heard that come close to being as articulate as this one, the lines about feeling like his brain is hanging on by a clothes pin, about how education hasn't given the vital skills needed for inner growth and how he feels betrayed by the system, it's actually pretty amazing;
This is also next level stuff
Others that I want to throw in that haven't been mentioned
Gift of Gab (Have people here not actually listened to NIA and Blazing Arrow? wtf?)
RA the Rugged Man (best multi spitter in the world and probably of all time, no fucking question, I challenge anybody to show me someone who can relentlessly multi the way this guy can)
Charlie 2na (swag)
Kweli (cus Reflection Eternal)
lol damn you must have one hell of a trek planned
seriously just reading those lyrics on the embed is sooooo cringe. Angsty, self-absorbed wankery.
and for the record, I was by no means trying to make a case for Wayne as GOAT, I was just saying the dude has released his fair share of quality music.

By far one of my favorites, one of the most original an inventive rappers at his and also technically skilled. Done all styles and eras.
But I was holding off saying him because he is still a bit a bit too much on an insane all over the place sort of genius. Not a controlled songwriter.

Most definitely insane. I wish he could focus his talents. Dr Octagon was probably his high point for me.

I like that he's all over the place though. You can get all sorts of records out of him. It does just mean that I can't quite call him the greatest mc

Killer Mike is shaping up to be one of the Greats imo. El-P deserves a mention too
Lil Ugly's gonna turn into one of those cult figures lol, like how people see Tommy Wright nowadays

Wayne did the hook tho.
I still listen to Ha all the time

El-p hardly raps, and Killer Mikes albums sucked when he was still affiliated with Outkast. Who remembers A.D.I.D.A.S?

Ok he had his early phase but seriously RAP Music is one of the best things to have come out of hihop recently imo. Tbh thats why i said hes shaping up, cos i have high hopes but i know hes not there yet
El-P raps a lot man, hes put out a few albums hasnt he. Or do you mean his stuff is hardly rap music?
And you know what, im gonna add in Quasimoto too lol

El-P has more than I give him credit for if you count Company Flow...that being said I still dont think he's even close to a GOAT.
I didn't see you say shaping up on Killer Mike, so thats my bad, but, he's also 38 so I don't think he has much time left. RAP Music was good, so were the first two I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind albums...but he's still nowhere near the top.

yeah it could be argued that it's like folk music down there, which is cool.
it is cool, its their own culture.
But its still serious business. maybe just alittle bit too much purple drank
