He's at an elite level when it comes to writing and technical ability (flow, cadence, inflection, etc.), and dude knows how to ride a beat better than anyone else. He checks all the boxes. So yeah, that does put him in the GOAT discussion. Get over yourself and stop harassing strangers in KZbin comments.
