Just look at these classics, he is the best and he will remain as the best for a very damn long time. DMX's favourite rapper He is a real sentence engineer "Timeless, age dont count in the booth, when your flow submerges in the fountain of youth." -Rakim the GOAT MC
Can't front on that at all, if I had to choose one it would be Rakim Dude had it all, the voice, the flow, the lyrics, positivity, street knowledge I think Black Thought may be better, and there are other emcees I like more, but Rakim Allah is the greatest for me Skip to 5.45 for Know The Ledge
He's definitely up there. I'm impressed that of the other suggestions, so far, no Sherbros have thrown any shit MCs names in
I'm kind of impressed and proud of these guys, little bit teary eyed if I'm honest Where do you stand with UK emcees, who's cream of the crop for you?
In terms of hip hop I'd have to say Chester Ty Jehst Roots Manuva Mystro Skinny Man Kyza Groups Mud Fam London Zoo Double D Dagger The IRS I think some Grime MCs and groups are good though and I'd have a lot of them on my list
I grew up with Busta Rhymes and hung around Tribe, De La, LONS.....Thue will all tell you Rakim is the best now and then. Best flow, tone, composition.....the best for sure
