Mel had a powerful voice, charmisa, stage presence, energy, lyrics, dope flow, content, poetic value, so many attributes. Many consider him the first greatest of all time and he probably was. Some of the legends to this day put him in their top 5 like DJ Premier, Caz or Moe Dee.

my point is, in the grand scheme of things he was nothing special. his DNA is nowhere to be found in hip hop so why gas him? his stats don't match his aura
You can't be serious? He was extremely special. His DNA is found in KRS-One, Nas, 2 Pac, Chuck D and many others.
This is exactly why this thread is necessary, a lot of people seem to genuinely not know this shyt...
And what do you mean by stats please? He is literally a hall of fame level MC...

I look at shyt from a talent standpoint
he can't fucc wit his successors. even the ones lower on the totem pole are better. if this were 2k he'd be a 77 and yet he's expected to be respected. I'm 30 I never fucced wit or heard him coming out of a car in detroit. he's a Pioneer but this thing evolved. nas and rakim don't sound like no fuccin melle Mel either. I'm not dissing y'all gassing a nikka that ain't Ali Vegas nice wit the pen.

Ruler is a fraud and a coward.

Nas and Rakim were both inspired by Mel, it's not it's not just about sounding like him. Rakim picked 5 rappers for a rap dream team in rank order, this was his choice...
1: Melle Mel
2: Raekwon
3: Sadat X
4: Kool Moe Dee
5: M.O.P
Nas had mentioned Mel numerous times in his music too. Think Jay Z even mentioned him in his book as an inspiration...
