Goat Song of 88 (Rd1): Vapors vs My Philosophy

Both songs were dope.
But I give the slight edge to KRS for two reasons.
One, Biz didn't write 'Vapors'... Big Daddy Kane ghostwrote it for him. So that takes a couple of points off for me.
Two, KRS was spitting crazy in this era and had one of the dopest videos out when he went back and forth from acapella to the record version.
Advantage: Blastmaster Kris "My Philosophy"

"...I'll get a pen, a pencil, a marker
Mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker
Some MCs be talking and talking
Trying to show how black people are walking
But I don't walk this way to portray
Or reinforce stereotypes of today
Like all my brothers eat chicken and watermelon
Talk broken English and drug selling
See I'm telling and teaching pure facts
The way some act in rap is kind of wack
And it lacks creativity and intelligence
But they don't care 'cause their company's selling it
It's my philosophy on the industry..."

Yeah, Kane was writing for a lot of the Juice Crew artists... Biz and Roxanne Shante for sure but I know there were others
The weird thing is, Biz could spit and freestyle for days... he took a young Redman on the road with him and they would battle anyone from any city
I think Kane was just better at crafting "songs" so Marley Marl used him to formulate that "Juice Crew" sound
Kane and Kool G. Rap used to have a friendly rivalry where they would freestyle back and forth until the beat ran out... man, to witness that live!
