Who's the most naturally gifted rapper of all time?

[Inspect Her Deck]

@rapbeats yeah props on Ras Kass I was gonna mention him as an honourable mention in the OP

I need to brush up my K-Solo knowledge. I only listen to his guest stuff tbh. He's dope.

Monch was only good for the styles era and a bit of the technical revolution.
In the bpm and sonic landscape change he was exposed and when ghostwriting he was exposed as well.
Plus later on his skills never translated either at this current time as well.
If he was naturally as gifted he would not have an issue in conversion to the current production and sonic landscape pattern.

Monch still gets it in. What songs did he have trouble on?

You mean someone ghostwrote for him? Who?

He wrote for others.

TECH N9NE

Fam, he was 17 here...unpolished and raw. Still flows heavenly....great voice...and very witty. Just natural on the mic.

There's the answer

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

Mos Def

 

[Knicksman20]

What do y'all make of O.C. of the DITC?

they had some skilled rappers in that crew

or maybe Buckshot of Black Moon

Both are extremely underrated; especially OC who's flow & voice are crazy:

Slick Rick.....What a lot of people don't know is how effortless his classic material was to make its nothing to him

After 2pac and biggie getting murdered Slick Rick getting locked up was the worst thing to happen to Hip-Hop

As great as most people think he is.....He's way better than that

Biggie
Big L
Big Pun

This is arguably the possible best choice but meth never came better than red as a duo on any record and was showing signs of regression till exactly 2oo6, when out of nowhere he regained a step in a regressive time and dropped the album of the year somewhere in that time as well.

So, I can't say meth cause for eleven solid years we can say meth was not great when compared with his contemporary.
Plus he never outshined his contemporary who was further from the essence in jers.
When consistently around said contemporary to up skill and also demonstrate issues in consistent sonic landscape changes.
That contemporary, meth never outshined was the first rapper the Threadstarter picked in this discussion.

Were you paying any attention to this thread, b?

He specifically went for the jugular on all really good voice guys in this discussion, by picking red.

This is like a trap thread but nobody can counter my trap thread within this thread.
Which is why this thread is pretty much dead locked cause I am jn this thread for real.

So, we can stop playing this game on some real shyt.
All cause if anybody in this community of hiphop and emcee'n knows.
I have everyone dead to rights in this real talk.

So,....imma just be honest and jus t let it be known.

Real talk.

Meth is fukkin serious tho.
Especially at peak moments on commercial features and features on fellow Wu Members albums (see Only Built 4 Cuban Linkx "Wu Gambinos")

But this thread is talking about NATURAL talent.
Raw Talent implied lack of grooming, practice and dileberate effort.

Jay Z owns this thread. We have never seen a rapper effortlessly from stage one of his career NOT WRITE down lyrics and compose songs on the spot like he does. This has been confirmed and documented in print and on film (Fade to Black).

Jay is naturally gifted and actualized the full potential of his talent and gift which is inspiring and dope to hear as well.

Lupe. His lyricism is incredible and his delive makes it sound effortless.

And salute Art Barr for riding with Juice. Juice is just ill.
