I have a question for you have you listened to the full discography of artists like Drake,kendrick, young thug, rich homie quan?
I'm sure you'll rate Canibus, immortal technique, k rino, brother ali,etc over them without hearing their full discographies
Ok I'll answer your question, Drake yes, Kendrick yes, Young Thug (unfortunately yes for research), Rich Homie Quan no.... so if you'd like to say he's better I will NOT argue with you at all yet, until I hear his work.... I'm consistent, you won't see me doing that shyt without hearing the music, I've heard a few songs and they weren't dope but I will have to hear the whole thing to really be able to say conclusively.
I do rate all of the artists you mentioned over all of the ones you named (excluding the last 1 who I haven't heard all his work so I don't rate him yet).
The thing is also credibility and consistency...
Let's have a quick look at my GOAT list, some names in it...
2 Pac, is Pac wack?
KRS-One, is KRS wack?
Nas, is Nas wack?
Rakim?
Big Daddy Kane?
Big Pun?
Jay Z?
AZ?
Slick Rick?
Big Pun?
Biggie?
And so on...
Objectively there are NO wack MC's there. Everyone is a credible choice to be in a top 20 list...
Therefore the credibility of opinion, not just this but in part, is quite clear as someone who is knowledgeable about the art form and music.
People pick out K-Rino on my list out of SHEER ignorance, the other names they are quiet about for the most part, K-Rino isn't as famous so that's who they pick out. But K-Rino as every artist on my list is on there through sheer merit, cause they deserve to be there, my loyalty is to Hip Hop, my list is my honest opinion after evaluating 1000's of Hip Hop artist's work, if you disagree cool, but it's an opinion that comes from a deep, vast and exceptional expert knowledge base.
