I posted two freestyles that Melle Mel did with Grandmaster Flash on the turntables. If you listen to what they're doing it's not the same thing that Kendrick, J Cole, Big Krit, Future, Wale, or Drake is doing.
First of all it sounds like an off the top of the dome freestyle. And he's rapping with a DJ mixing records. Ask yourself when's the last time you heard Kanye West, Scarface, Busta Rhymes, Jay Z, or Nas rap with a DJ juggling beats?
Anyway, Melle Mel is the first Hip Hop MC. There's a website called Thafoundation.com that is owned and operated by a brother named Troy L Smith. He has hundreds of tapes from the old school era (78-84) On the website he interviews old school MCs and DJs. When asked; who was the first person you ever saw rap over a beat while the DJ is juggling two copies of the same record? Melle Mel's name comes up more than anybody else.
If you listen to the songs in the O/P and the freestyles I posted and the story that I just told, you can make an argument for Melle Mel being the GOAT.

That's all you got?
He did some beyond basic ass freestyles while Flash switched the beat.

Thats How I Rate My GOATs ...You Gotta Be The Gold Standard And Be The Very Best At What You Do Even With The New Jacks Coming For You
One A New Bar Has Been Set That Rapper That Album That Producer Is No Longer The GOAT Of His Specialty
