If you're a GOAT level MC, nobody should need to post 7-8 songs to convince me. I'm gonna hear 1 or 2 and actually WANT more. Not look for more to TRY and hear what yall are hearing.
If you place him as one of your favorites, fine, cause I can hear that "entertainment value" in him, but saying he's better than/on the same tier as
Nas
Jay
Cube
Biggie
Pac
Face
Rakim
Kane
Ghostface
Common
3000
LL
DMX
Big Boi
Meth
Rae
Mos
GZA
Snoop
50
Jeezy
T.I.
And probably a few others I'm forgetting would be objectively false. Finding him entertaining and placing him a GOAT are 2 different things.
Let me know when you're on so we can address this thoroughly -
You're basically saying that ignorance is just as good as knowledge
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.".Stop.
We're talking about greatests of all-time, not a popularity contest.
Go compare a marketing budget, if you want to be just another click.
Here's the rappers from your list that Mac Dre is unequivocally ranked above, and if you want to debate this from your point of ignorance it would basically be an exhibition of bullying on my part.
Biggie - I'm sorry your boy died after three years, he had a lot of potential. Notice Pun and Big L aren't on your list? Oh, they weren't the first to come to mind huh? - but if you think two albums is qualification for GOAT tier you are ground zero of publication-based marketing. Nobody would rank The Game as so after The Doctor's Advocate, GOAT discussions don't happen after two albums unless Puffy is profiting off your estate. Sorry to break that paradigm for you.
Snoop - putting a rapper on your list that is known to of had ghostwriters throughout his career is only a shot at your own credibility.
50 Cent - Mac Dre's catalog towers over 50 Cent's. I"m a staunch supporter of 50 Cent, I've met him on more than one occasion - good luck putting together 5 double disc Best Of compilations that STILL do not show all of the career highlights. If you were showing somebody 50 Cent's work you wouldn't have 5 standout tracks from the same album just because they CAN'T go without mention
LL . . . legend, but Def Jam's Will Smith
Jeezy and T.I. aren't even in the same tier
These are just the easy ones, I'm sharpshooting here. There's a few other names on your list that we can go into extensive debates over before I show you why Mac Dre ranks well-above them.
The issue is that you're clinging to paradigms and you make the mistake of assuming your ignorance on a subject to be just as valuable as knowledge on a subject.
is out they goddamn mind and clearly has to be from the Yay area.
