Rakim was more pivotal than the rest. He changed the game into what it is today. He made it to where MC’s would go back and put thought into their rhymes, also he sounded totally different than what they sounded like back then. Rappers after Rakim weren’t scared anymore to come out with different styles because rakim broke that mold. Listen to anyone in 1986. Then listen to rakim in 1986. They all had that rundmc/melle Mel/koolmoedee/llcoolj type of flow. Rakim in one day made them sound old school. He was maybe still is the freshest one to ever come out.

My personal 5 no order Pac, Em, Kendrick, Jay, Wayne. Those 5 I can listen to just about any tape or album from them and love it. In 2022 I STILL listen to the 5 names I mentioned. Honestly I believe Rakims fire died out a bit too fast. He was heading into Pacs level 100% but he dropped off way faster than Jay, Em or Wayne. You can say KRS, meth, Redman, Biggie etc but I personally never really bumped them besides Biggie and some Wutang joints.

@@bcerd007 You're entitled to your opinion though I obviously disagree. Aside from Eminem, no rapper has sold more records than 2pac. Most influential rapper. Even has a statue in Germany. And, it's not that he was the best at everything a rapper can be good at but rather the most influential on top of his talent. Many people consider MJ the goat in basketball, right? Well, he wasn't the best rebounder, blocker, passer or 3 point shooter now was he? No. But, he's still the goat. Same with Pac. He wasn't perfect. Had his flaws like any person/artist but still deserves goat nomination at least. Who do you consider the goat?

[@Murmurrr]

You just said it. “Skilled.” You have to factor in impact and influence. “Skilled” or technical rap is niche, and will generally never be super popular unless you make things catchy. People aren’t alway trying to be analytical with their music. Music that affects your emotions will always be more popular and influential. Simplicity with the complexity. All your picks are classic nerdy hip hop choices.

[@FallaciesofRelevance]
