Skillz is as nice as Joe is as far as rapping. Sure we can argue that Joe knew how to structure a more mainstream sound and had more front of the house mainstream success.

But we not going to act like Skillz is some bum and doesn't have bars because he was an underground artist who farmed out his pen.

understanding song structure and making music that resonates is part of rapping. it's the same thing that separated joe's career from some of the people he was barring to death back in the day. he was never on their level overall. and skillz was never on joe's outside of lyrical ability/potential.

doesn't make skillz a bum. but there are levels. also, arguing that joe of all people knew how to structure a more mainstream sound, given the engineering on his post-def jam albums, is :russ:. joe's biggest mainstream moments -- outside of pump it up/fire -- were for rapping his ass off on mixtapes, battling on wax, being WAY ahead of the curve when it came to building his brand via youtube + blogging, and occasionally stumbling onto a decent-to-good single...

aka, doing what he and skillz are both known for, but doing it a lot better.

joe is right imo. :yeshrug:

Skillz woud bar the sh*t out of Joe, the problem is, Skillz could never win in the court of public opinion.

That and the problem also is he could never outbar Joe lol.

I never heard a Skillz verse that made niccas go "he smoked that shyt" or "run that back" lol. Joe had Ghost, Free, Beans & Styles up at Shade45 wit da screw face & that's just one instance lol.

Did you watch the whole thing? Flip came on video at the end and looks like they worked whatever that was out.
Just finished it. Props to Flip for sure. Chyna Mack (I think that's his name) just be talking reckless trying to come up by any means.
