Teamed up with so many cats before they blew up (Pun, Khaled just to name a couple off top), has shown ability to make heavy lyrical shyt for the heads and radio/club bangers for the parties, has been able to maintain relevancy for 23+ years and counting (not many people can say this)

How do you feel? I dont think hes one of the GOAT rappers but I feel his relevancy in the game isn't talked about enough

Very much so. Had a lot of hits. A lot of bangers. A classic (to me) in Jose Cartagena.

The moment you think he washed. He drops something like all the way up.

Thinking that he been out since the late 80s, early 90s. He's had an amazing career but all on the low

Super lyrical dude: but can he make a song though?
Not super lyrical but great songwriting pen game: bu-but...you know the rest.

Something has to be said for a cat who can rap alongside the likes of KRS-One, Big L, and Big Pun in the 90s then rap alongside Wayne, Kanye, and Ross 15-20 years later and fit in both eras.

I'd say Joe is right there with Jay-Z as far as being able to stay relevant and transcend eras of Hip-Hop. He doesn't have the sales but Joe has one of the GOAT runs of hit records in the game spanning a couple of decades.
