How in the HELL did Ra lose this. I mean really WTF. This site man, only on here.
Bruh, you realize most cats in here may not have been born or were in diapers when Ra came on the scene....it's always going to be weighed more heavily towards the newer cat most of the time.
Ra and his generation legitimately didn't have the consistency that Jay and Nas do. Almost nobody does...arguably nobody does.
Seventh seal and 18th letter Ra...isn't in that same category. Even G rap aged better than Ra imo

Absolutely not, out of those two G rap is the one that fell off. Ra is still sharp.

18th Letter Ra is better than the vast majority of Jay and Nas cataloges. Jay and Nas weren't consistent when it came to making good to great albums. Way too many mediore joints and a few trash joints. They were both more prolific than Ra. So was KRS.
Ra's generation had a gang of classic and good to great albums.
Paid in Full to 18th Letter has aged better than G Rap. Roots of Evil > The Master though.

G Rap slowed down his flow the last few years for some odd reason.

Besides Ra already killed Jay on Wax with half of the amount of bars Jay used in his verse. Ra is the epitome of a writer, not a wasted line in his verse. Easy work.
I respect Ra a lot. But Hov verse is quoted and not one person ever since 2002 posted a Rakim line from that song. I never saw it ever.Bullshyt

So we need to stop that BS about him being close to Hov on that song.
I just don’t hear it. Not one bit

Smh that's like saying one day I will be older then my dad...if you talking longevity then LL the goat...
I thought everyone from Sway to Kool Moe Dee to Nas explained this over and over through the years.
L had really cold spots in his career. The worst early on being Walking with a panther and 14 shots to the dome being damn near career ending.
Jay had been more consistent in terms of maintaining a consistent success than L. Nobody has been as good as Jay as long as Jay.
