With a certain group of Hip Hop fans he's already in their top 10 along with GZA, Black Thought, Mos and them kind.
Assuming that's what you meant.

Monch is a beast- lyrically one of the best mcs to ever come out

Oraganized Konfusion was the shyt n then all of monch's solo albums have been dope as fukk

still gotta cop W.A.R. but that shyt was fireeee like usual

i agree with bangbreh- too many people sleep on monch- but the real hip hop heads know the deal

Pharoah is an incredible lyricist, but the bar for entry is high because like some other rappers, like Black Thought, De La Soul, or Comega, Pharoah is a rapper's rapper. But dude is in my personal top 15 and Organized Konfusion's 1st joint is my all-time favorite hip-hop record.

He does fly under the radar a bit. Not sure where he ranks on my list, but he's certainly in the discussion for top 10 (with about 20 others).

no disrespect to you or Mega homie..I respect Mega a lot, but as far as lyrics and most definitely flow he has never been in that upper echelon to me. He wasnt as good as Nature, flow or lyric wise...but he was a better artist due to his hustle, grind and commitment.

I am very strict with my list. So yeah, you have Nas, Jay, Thought, Rakim, G Rap, AZ. These are elite MC's to me. Monche is in my top 10.
As far as my personal favorites? He is definitely in my top 3-5.

I agree with you from a flow standpoint, it's not smooth but I think lyrically, he is slept on, he can be surprisingly profound and declarative, but I'll concede flow isn't his strong point.

yeah, Mega gets busy. if his flow was airtight then he would be on the level of AZ or Nas.

Pharoahe is a great MC not just cuz of his flow and his rhymes but because he is versatile. His vocab and his flow is what set him apart.
