He's easily top 10, at times I'd say even top 5.
But when you say "standard" do you mean The Goat from the south?
His 2 classics imo are TM and Urban Legend, but that's a diff debate.
But you'd put him over 3k? I think on mutiple occasions he called 3k the goat of the south.
:idkb:
He has more classic albums, more influence and reached heights Tip never has and he did just body Tip on his own shit.
Tip was in his duffle tho, just wasn't fuckin with dre
I don't like that argument to discredit 3k, cuz that's like saying you can't compare Rakim with the other legends cuz his albums were duo albums and he never made a classic album without eric b.
Eric B was just the DJ tho
Rakim DID carry those albums by himself lyrically.
i feel u, but at the same time Rakim was the only vocalist...Eric B gets credit where credit is due, but it's Rakim's words that solidify himNah, he was the producer too and like I said, if he was that insignificant why hasn't rakim made an album any where close to the albums he made with eric b?
i count duo albums...
cuz i'll still argue niggaz Young Chris is the 2nd best artist outta philly all time(beans #1), and i consider the young gunz albums as reference, cuz he carried the shit outta them joints lyrically...his solo joint was more mixtape underground status, and while dope, most people never heard it, so i can only go off the duo shit....
you have to stand Outkast Albums against Tip's if you arguing who's the best artist from the south
i can't get into that one though, cuz i never listened on one outkast album in it's entirety......but i still consider 3K as a top lyricist and song maker in the game
I think he makes better songs and is lyrically stronger than Tip
A duo is a duo to me b <<>>
But Tip already said 3k>>> him , so that kindve already negates the debate.
bullshit, tyson says ali was better than him, but i gotta prime tyson giving a prime ali the blues 10 times outta 10lmaooo u know damn well, if a nigga says one cat is better, there's no debate after that.
cuz his opinion isn't minesBut like when Kevin Hart says Chappelle is the Goat, a Hart vs Chappelle debate goes out the window at that point. HE doesn't even think he's better , why df would we even debate the shit lol
