Verzuz: Big Daddy Kane vs KRS-One

Man, you can't have it all. He's my favorite from that era but it would have been ugly on stage

Kane and KRS made the most sense
Rakim is on some too cool for school shit when he is on stage. I've seen it over the years and in person

He is not matching their vibe or energy. Your energy....your enthusiasm will make a weak song look hard and a hard song come off as wack with weak stage presence

KRS said he the top 1.

It was always

Rakim
Kool G
KRS
Kane
Slick Rick


Don't sleep on LL Cool J


Also, when I was in high school, Kool Moe Dee was going at LL. LL was better at picking beats, but alot of people said Moe Dee was the superior MC. I always favored Cool J imo.

And then there was Chuck D & Ice Cube.

So it was

Rakim
KRS
Kane
Slick Rick
Kool G Rap
LL Cool J
Kool Moe Dee
Chuck D
Ice Cube
Special Ed/GURU (tied)*



That's the top 10 from when I was in high school from Sep 87-June 91


*Special Ed and GURU both had 2 albums by the time I graduated. But I don't remember anybody calling them The GOATs, but they both had 2 albums by my senior year.

Edit. And Grandmaster Flash & he Furious 5 (Melle Mel) and Run DMC were both kinda washed up by the time I entered high school.
