Black Thought VS Raekwon

[Billy Ocean]

I respect this and agree to an extent. I still give Thought the edge easily.

Can't even knock anyone picking Thought over Rae. The dude really is one of the most gifted spitters ever. Some of his verses are otherwordly.

 

[We Major]

Like someone else said, apples and oranges. Black Thought would be in my Top 5, Rae would be Top 10 but it depends what you're after in terms of comparing them both. You know Thought will kill the track but Rae will come with that nice smooth and sometimes laidback shyt

 

[TigerLord]

Black Thought is nicer on the mic. He's a pure lyricist and artist.

I like grittier music tho so I go with Rae.

Would pick OB4CL over any Roots album

 

[filial_piety]

Damn, extremely tough.

At their peak...Raekwon....but Black thought has been far more consistently nicer over the years.

He never really disappoints

 

[EA]

Black Thought is arguably the most lyrically consistent rapper in history. I'm actually struggling to think of an occasion where he's had a weak verse.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Rae all day, BT can spit but he is too textbook and predictable

Rae has a way with words and imagery that's just

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

dope thread

 

[Consigliere]

Black Thought is better than Rae... But I'm gonna go with The Chef. Raekwon is more likely to say some ill slick shyt that'll have you rewinding.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

BlackThought is CRAZY boring to me. Rae easily.

 

[KingsOfKings]

Black Thought

 

[Fallacy]

Black Thought. He's an emcee's emceee.


But that's not a knock on Rae.

 

[Pop123]

salute to Thought, thats my nig, but you nikkas is on somethin, lol, Rae all f*ckin day!

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

Cuban Linx 2 is classic IMO
if it was cut to like 17 songs it would be on the level of Cuban Linx 1

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Black thought the better MC
but Raekwon got this intangible factor that makes his shyt extra example Faster Blade
BT top 10 mc ever though. His verse on Section

 

[aboss4real24]

BT A Better lyricsist

Rae a better storyteller n makes better songs imo

cant go wrong either way

bp is very underrated tho
