This is how I see it:

Redman vs Black thought
Technical lyrical ability: BT
Flow: reggie
Storytelling: BT
Delivery: Redman
Socially Conscious/content: BT
Quotables/punchlines: Not sure, I would go with redman but I think BT can go bar for bar with him and might win. Tie for now
Ability to Battle/diss : Not sure, tie
Originality: redman
Discography: BT
Overall:
BT- 5
redman- 3
2 ties
BT wins

Redman vs Canibus
Technical lyrical ability: Canibus but its sort of close
Flow: Redman
Storytelling: Canibus
Delivery: redman
Socially Conscious/content: Canibus
Quotables/punchlines: Canibus
Ability to Battle/diss : Canibus
Originality: Redman
Discography:Redman
Overall:
Canibus-5
Redman- 4
Even if you take out the battle category it would be a tie, but I would still choose canibus over redman. BTW canibus renegaded redman twice, once on 4321, and another time on Beast from the east (with a CRAZY verse).

"We knew he (canibus) was a fukkING BEAST"- Redman on DJVLAD the other day

Fair enough Breh

They're both dope spitters but Redman has a better discography IMO and is more well rounded

Plus you rated each category equally when some should be weighted more than others. But you justified it so its all good.

For me it goes Redman > Black Thought > Canibus

If you ignore the fact that Thought doesn't have any solo albums, then he has a great discography. Widely considered to have no bad albums

I mean for all intents and purposes, those Roots albums are BT solos. He's pretty much the main/only rapper on those albums with a vast production team behind him. It's just the namesake that makes us think otherwise. BT would be in my top 30-35 no doubt. I just think the Roots are overrated slightly. Redman is another league. Don't care about Canibus even though he's a lyrical assassin.

Thought is in my top 5 so he's > Redman to me. Malik B was on the first 3 (4 if you count Organix) in a secondary role. There was plenty of songs of just Thought.

After that, he was basically a solo rapper with a lot of guest appearances. All their albums are quality and he's never came weak.

Neither Thought or Redman has ever spit a wack verse.

Agree with what you said but I think Black Thought is a GOAT contender and in my personal top 15. Only thing that's really holding him back is that I don't enjoy him as much as many pants do. I can't really argue him against top 10 tbh. Albums like Things Fall Apart were very well produced that gets a spot in my top 50.

Edit: Realized I said pants instead of fans:dead: But it's too funny so I'm keeping it

Top 3

and he has 2 universal classics in Whut? Thee Album and Muddy Waters

Dare iz a Darkside is arguable

Probably the most talented MC of all-time. Can rap over any beat, using any flow, with crazy lyricism and technical ability. Longevity. Discography. Mic skills. Relevancy. He has it all.

:manny:Dare Iz a Darkside was the birth of the eccentric Redman. He turned the dial all the way up.
