I see him skillwise in the same league as all of them and could murder any of them at any givin time on the same track or in a battle in his prime....but better?I mean I prefer him over Biggie and Nas far as who I can listen too for long stretches and replay value....but if u mean strictly skill level wise all things considered I can't say BETTER...definitly in they league though,wonder if he'd be so underated if he wuznt Jays protege?but maybe he wouldn't be known at all...the gift and the curse
he might be lyrically on there level when he was in his prime but as overall package (hits, charisma, classics, sales, memorable quotables, etc..) not even close.
Lyrically this is true.. Sigel held his own or did better than Jay when featured together.
all this stuff is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with the skillset like rhyme schemes metaphors wordplay etc
