Does Rakim Allah Bin Olu Dara da Gawd have the best all-time hip-hop flow?

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

from the slow-flow on mahogany to the rapid of flow of lyrics of fury and follow the leader and he could do aynthing in between. GOAT voice and mic presence imo. Who else is in contention, Meth, Jay, Biggie

 

[DMGAINGREEN]

Those two , plus Mase & Biggie my top 4 flows

I can certainly hear the influences of those two artists. I just feel like Ra and Biggie and even someone like Masta Ace drastically influenced the flows a plethora of future rappers would spit

 

[The Ruler 09]

Rakim is definitely up there in terms of having the best flow to me.

his versatility is what makes it to me. Method Man has a LOT of versatility but Rakim fathered some of the styles he uses.

 

[phatphuck]

pharoahe monch has the best flow. he could switch it up/down during a song and there's not many mcs capable of that
