The 18th letter dropped around Oct/Nov 1997?, if memory serves. I got the album a couple months after. It's aiiight, I just remember the rap city special around that time and some people amped off that verse from Mobb's "hoodlum".

hahahaha Wacky D, you're f*cking horrible. Don't you have a dormant thread to up?

.....and you are whom????

 

[Awesome Wells]

Can't say I disagree.

Kane did a lot of dumb shyt during his career, but the dude was still a Top 3 lyricist in his time. His best joints from back then versus The God's would be a pretty close one

g rap >>

Kane was more versatile than Rakim

Kane also regularly rhymed about a greater variety of subjects than Rakim


No matter what mood I'm in, I can find a BDK song to suit it. It's a bit harder to do that with Rakim.

yeah but who signed the 1st million dollar contract in rap AND by time it was done who's career was already dead and buried?

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

Kane was that nikka, but Ra is GOAT to me.

 

[surv2syn]

Ran into Kane last week btw...
Ra is the GOAT in my book followed closely by KGR. His songwriting
If you are talking battle rap.....BDK fa sho.
All great MCs at what they do best.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

you can tell who actually listens to music then just bias and opinions

Cosign. Holy Are You is a damn song about the teaching of the 5%. His music I'd very versatile.

 

[Lyrically_N_Gaged]

I don't agree but I feel like more people should
