You acknowledge that he has multiple classics, yet then argue he is overrated?
Ghost is one of the most inventive and consistent rappers of all time. He is also one of the very best storytellers in hip hop, if not the best. He has a classic album from the mid 90s, one from the early 00s, and one from the mid 00s. I can't even think of another rapper with that type of long lasting consistency. Typically solo rappers release their best work in a flurry of time/years, like KRS One. Ghost's (solo) dopeness is spread out
consistently over more than a decade. This isn't a case like say Nas where MOST fans may argue he has classics in the 00s (Stillmatic, perhaps Lost Tapes), but will admit they don't surpass his first classics (Ilmatic, It Was Written). With Ghost, most would argue Supreme Clientele surpasses his first classic (Ironman), and some might even argue Fishscale surpasses it too.
