Is Black Thought in the GOHE category yet?

[Neuromancer]

GOHE=Greatest of his Era?

I rarely see him talked about but few people come to mind who could go bar for bar with him.

Ya'll consider him one of the greats?

Only thing hes really missing is bigger appeal

As far as skill hes without a doubt top 10

Hes a better rapper than dmx for example but the dog is likely in more peoples top10

What's considered his era?

He's been killing it for over 20 years. He's got classic verses on Illadeph and that was '96

 

[Victorious Secret]

Yes.

He’s one of the greatest in any era.

I guess the Golden Era.

Dude has skills, no doubt about it, but GOHE? Nah, he came up with Nas, Pac, Big, HOV and many others. There are many things homie is missing to be considered GOHE, like mass appeal, big hit records, impact, never released a solo project and so on.

Ok but argubly his best material has come out in the last 10 years

it depends because if u talking pure skill then hell yeah but if we talking overall then hell no not imo.

He’s definitely one of the most skilled in his era but since he’s appeal was never really mainstream you don’t have a lot(or maybe the right)people who champion him

His era includes Nas, Jay, Big and Pac.

He rhymes circles around Pac.

The other three are all contenders but if someone had BT above these guys I wouldn't be mad.

being the best is about more than rapping well.

He doesn't have better music than Pac tho. Which is what a great is graded on.

The Roots isn't fukking mainstream? Are you shytting me? It's just that people know them as "The Roots" and not as "Blackthought". Skillwise he's absolutely incredible. But Nas/Jay/Big/Pac are just as good. There is no greatest.
