Well, from a lyrical standpoint Cube isn't better than Rakim or KRS. Old school Cube's strength is his delivery and aggression, not so much his lyricism.
Subject matter...well that is a bit of a toss up. I would put Cube and KRS ahead of Rakim. Not saying that Rakim only rapped about rappin' (Like people like to say), but KRS and Ice Cube had more socially concious songs.
But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
How about 5 classic albums,better catalogue albums and songs wise,longevity,would merk either one in a battle,better story teller,in his prime they don't wanna hop on the same track with Cube,better lyrically and flow wise than KRS...Rakim more poetic which is his edge over Cube but Cubes delivery is way better,Friday,his sky hook in the Today Wuz A Good Day video...Cube is basically the perfect rapper who can do it all,I'm mad I had to explain this shyt...now tell me why u think differently.
