If we're talking straight mic skills and consistent dopeness, Method Man. Dude can slaughter anything you put in front of him, he's versatile as fukk, and he's been dope since 93

Yeah, I really enjoyed that album I got, it has some songs I really loved, it's such a shame when you hav an MC THAT talented and they don't release as much as they could, especially when their alive to do so. Last Emperor is another one who had great potential, elite potential but he only has a few projects, even though he has as far as I know more than Percee P.

i'm pretty sure last emp only had one official release too. the other one was just a european release of that album. the legend of bigfoot bootleg was better than just about every other official release in the 2000's tho with the exception of a few. these kind of mc's should really just start releasing their own music digitally... create a website or something...i'm not sure if it costs anything for bandcamp but if not they really need to get on it.

DMX...sorry, dude will remain in my top 5-7 for life...that's my dark rapper

LL also needs his props, dude had a pretty solid 20 year (84-2004) run in the RAP game - i mean he was relevant - not always an A-lister, but he was getting spins and sales, plus movies/tv, helped blow up a clothing line, is/was a sex symbol, is battle tested (with victories), was nice on the mic for many years, and basically paved the way and perfected the female-oriented rap song

Came in here to say this. Method Man's career has been somewhat of a disappointment but it still has been better than 95% of the dudes mentioned in here. He has countless classic verses, the most popular member of the GOAT hip hop group, was a Top 5 MC in the game when BIG, Nas and Pac were the Kings, arguably the only MC who got BIG and Pac on their own sh!t, can murder damn near any track (hip hop or R&B), easily one of the most effortless flow-ers in hip hop history, great voice and charisma, platinum albums and singles, a Grammy and he still has top notch skills. Meth should be in more cats GOAT lists.

Based on consistency, I'd say

El Da Sensei

Maybe one official album but he had that Science Team Go shyt and the Legend Of BigFoot thing, probably a few other projects too. Yeah exactly, if I was super rich I'd finance Emp to drop more music, he's brilliant. He's a very creative artist and very talented, I'm a huge fan. I'm STILL waiting on Wizard's Wardrobe though lol.
