Started listening to it but need to finish it


It got my thinking, Meth really could have and should have been an all-time great. I'm not sure he isn't but he had intangibles to be unquestionably be one He knew how to crossover but keep it street, his flow was great and had melodies. And listening to his story of his childhood he really had a story that could have been told on wax more like a Nas, Jay and Big do when they got introspective and personal about their life. I wonder if he was uncomfortable with rapping about that (Growing up in a shelter)

Meth is an all time great. You hush

I agree!
I'm just saying with regards to general consensus. Dude doesnt really get to be on those top 10-15 lists and he should.
I'm thinking maybe more stories of coming up would have gotten him that introspective, personal narrative stuff that people look for in top 5 MCs

Most lists I've read he's too 15. He should be top 10 but the body of work doesn't compare to someone like Nas or jay
