Pete Rock wasn't a trash rapper. Yeah he wasn't super lyrical, but his voice was super smooth and he knew how to ride the beat. Crazy quotables aren't the end-all-be-all to being a good rapper.
The more i think about it, C.L. Smooth was a Trash ass rapper

Pete rock is god awful and never should have been rapping and he should not have even been stealing light on the sprite commercial either.
The reason why rap sucks is nikka give passes to garbage and pr was garbage.
A total waste of money, as a rapper.

We'll just have to agree to disagree breh.

This is to the collective you and not you,...
Are You a producer turned rapper, and not an emcee first and foremost above any and everything, type then,......?
In response to this culturally in the pillar of emcee'n as law in hip hop.
You can't negatively skill critique down south or any other region or Stan a culturally wack or skill deficient wack rapper and then give praise to rappers who were wack from the Mecca just because.
If you not juju, fame, or diamond d level of emcee aspiring to finesse levels of emcee'n and beyond,...just drop the mic, you in the way.
Go do sumfin else,....fa real.
Stop clogg'n up pillars cause you don't wanna apply YOURSELF AND IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS.
If not,....
you food for a nikka like me and I do run down on food just because I know you not supposed to be out there.
Only reason why these huff ass rappers are around is because I just ain't stomped on them just yet,...
It will happen tho,...
Anyway,....wack producers wanna be rap ruined rap.
No yo producer ass can not rap as good as talent and you only getting over because of sentimentalism to the do it yourself gateway aspect that was marketed to home recording studios which is also killing music as a draw.
All because of wack producer who wanna rap.
nikka, wack producer wanna be rapper stfu,... FA real.
Go make my beats fakkit,....
If not this fl and protools play like SF and I still ain't met no producer or nikkaz who could beat me in a damn videogame yet.

This thread is blasphemous 
Was CL Smooth an elite rapper? No but he was definitely above average and far from wack. I don't know how anyone can say this when he has two classic albums to his name. As great and amazing as Pete Rock is, he's not carrying two full length albums with just production if the rapper is wack.
Also, people calling Pete Rock wack too? He barely rapped but I can never call him wack when we've got 'For Pete's Sake' as a reference point.

You make it like this was not ever said by everyone and was not a knock on cl and pr.
CL had a great voice and ability to pocket flows but his lackluster content, lack of ill rhymes creatively and lack of clarity bar to bar in content hurt him all the time.
As a matter of fact rappers are offkey because of backlash from rappers like cl who had tools but no ill factor rhyme wise on the break.
