[@lovelaj0149]

Rod has issues articulating sometimes. I think "a perfect discography" to Rod means that every album is a 10, not that every album is good.

[@PontFlair]

Nobody can get a grade of 10 in albums. Plus *ROD-Z,* not the credible source. Maybe clown-able 🤡, but not credible

It’s time to define these categories for consistency. Still will give great debates.

[@ravantgarde1899]

Agreed

[@ninjasrose1653]

These report cards are dope. Myke & Beezy got it spot on. Very well articulated by both of them. Proper DOOM fans! Feefo, really has limited knowledge. How on earth can anyone say MF DOOMS flow isn't smooth? Stop. And 6/10 for albums is just either hating or lack of understanding!

[@PontFlair]

I respect *Feefo's* report card, truthfully, especially when you consider his taste in rap. It was objective and fair. I don't agree but I respect his fairness

[@lulw1935]

are you joking? i too agree with myke and beezy more than feefo but saying he has limited knowledge and saying that beezy articulated it well is ridiculous, feefo explained his criticisms much better than beezy did his praise

@@prettytone2089 that's a good way to do that 🤝🤜🤛 Any order is good. When I 1st discovered MF DOOM, I didn't know what the order of his albums were TBH. I had mix cds with him as all his Alias. So I listened to him scattered LOL

[@ravantgarde1899]

I’m loving these segments! Two suggestions that I think would make it even better: 1) Clearly defined categories. I think this would help conversations be more interesting since there wouldn’t be confusion with what things mean. 2) Overall score being an actual average of the rest of the numbers. It would be interesting to see the calculated “grade” each rapper gets

y'all might hafta write out paragraphs of explanation of the catagories for Beezy(430) lmao

[@ravantgarde1899]

For the whole crew tbh, since without a definition things can be understood differently

[@callumw6031]

Lil Wayne, Eminem & J Cole would be interesting scores

[@JustChillinOnThe5thFloor]

DJ's and Producers had to mix MF DOOM acapellas onto beats he never rapped on. DOOM's bars go supa dupa hard on trap and phonk heavy bass beats.

[@anava84]

As far as hip-hop emcees, I would give Jay a low 9 and DOOM (RIP Supervillain) a high 9. Both are legendary to the whole scene, but DOOM produced his own beats. And he never sold out.

[@Gurren95]

We gotta define these categories for Beezy lol

[@alexbraun3595]

I feel like it’d be a stretch, but I’m curious what each Report Card would be if they were to do one on Missy Elliot?

[@chenzenzo]

Doom ain't a vibe stealer, he's a vibe creator. You can here it on any song he shared with his man's and them. Doom gives the right of way to rhyme, ability of styles and stone cold flow. Listen to any song he flowed on; Doom literally invites people into it and shows immediate respect. It's like this! If you can't actually rap, your opinion is useless. If you can rhyme, pull that shit out and rock. Rhyme in verse and flow. Yours is yours. Mine is mine and we can share until you start tryna act bigger than the thing we both know is ours. If we both understand that a tea cup our grandparents made together is broken, we can glue it back together. But when people stop cooperating, there's a problem. Rest easy, The God! All peace! Blessings and love to your little ones. ❤

[@mrjames851]

Rod's "pettiness" was the reason Ctown gave for not giving ratings in the reviews like Fantano does. They said you might give a rating and then be held to it when the next album comes out

off the top of my head Pharoahe Monch is the only one who can match DOOM in delivery. I would love to see his report card.

[@mrchaotiq]

Damn the bias really creeps in on these report cards. Jay is the master of flow and gets graded poorly and DOOM in his own words is "hot with a stock flow" and gets graded highly. I think it would help if the categories were defined properly so it just doesn't merely become favoritism.

[@HankHill94263]

Idk versatility wise I understand he might not be able to wrap over trap beats but some of the beats from Vaudeville Villain were so out there and he still killed it

[@braddyoung3523]

Soooo, if a rapper has 6 albums, and theyre all like an 8/10, then for albums they get a ten? not saying thats the case for DOOM, but NehruDoom and that second Viktor Vaughn album are mid for DOOM, he should get a 9 for albums. DOOMS the GOAT dont trip, but lets be fair

[@matthewbabauta9788]

Definitely gotta do Nas

[@williamwaters3588]

Love the new content. I do think y'all should collectively specify what exactly each topic means so each member wont grade based on a different understanding of the category.

"it's like butter that was frozen" GO ON HOLD YOUR OWN FEEFO, i don't know if i agree but stand your ground son 🔥🔥

[@styleformen7535]

This series is straight up 🔥📛

[@kashstory]

Can I give a suggestion for how to revamp the categories? I feel like you can add and merge some of these things, and they can be more clearly defined too. Vocabulary: How many unique words do you use. Flow: How effectively do you ride the beat, how rythmic you are with your words. Lyricism: How clever and technical are you with your bars, how effectively do you utilize literally techniques. How intricate do you get with lines. Delivery: How do you say your bars, how much emotion do you put into your lines, how compelling are they. How effective do you convey the themes. Do they sound convincing? How powerful is it? Presence: How noticiable are you, how much do you cut through. Your charisma, your voice, how cool you sound. Creativity: The overall idea, topic, and concept for your songs and albums. How original it is. Craftsmanship: How do you structure your songs and albums, the details you put in songs. How you build your songs and albums out. Versatility: How many different styles you show. How do you switch up your rapping. Musicality: How musically inclined is your work. The music theory behind it, how you make it sound. How melodic and harmonious you are. Overall: Considering everything together.

[@Validkris]

Glad everyone gave MF Doom high ratings on originality 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@knife-chase]

Good stuff. I hope you guys cover some rappers you, or some of you, don't like/respect that much in this too. Also it'd be cool if you lock down what the meanings mean because I agree with Myke that Doom isn't super versatile but the one Ken interpreted it made sense from how he looked at the meaning.

[@georgethompsonjr6082]

Love this series fellas. A few people I would love to see you guys rate are Nas, Marci, and Ghostface.

[@QuandaleDingleBarnacleJonesIII]

Feefo was right about dooms flow tho, Dooms flow is not smooth, biggies flow was smooth. But that’s what I love about Doom. Often he raps offbeat but only in a way he can. There have been smooth performances from doom, but that’s not the standard. Dooms flow is intentionally off the beat and path.
