I get your point but that type of reasoning got its limits. rakim is a goat to me and he got 1 or 2 hits at best. at some point being able to do it all is a great point but that should not be the alpha & omega of all the things. if I'm really going to play your game I can say jay got zero point in storytelling and his best albums are not even top 10 hip hop hop albums of all time. nas & rakim literally changed how people rapped, jay never did that as a rapper. and I'll go further, everything jay did, biggie did it better. so each rapper have his strenght and weaknesses. It you got all categories except one or two outta ten, you can qualifies as a goat
Jay literally changed how people write music lol
