just his opinion...swap in your own
Rosenberg steals Coli members MC ranking system & Passes it off as his own

- Start date
How about we create our own ranking instead?
Moe Dee created something like this decades ago..

Didn't you have the system where we ranked who ran what year?that made more sense because it was less about people biases and opinions,and more about undeniable realities
His ranking system I completely flawed because it only focuses on one aspect,which is the technicality aspect.
The best way is still ranking discography,overall impact you had as an emcee and the ammount of anticipation there was for you,as well as your albums,authenticity,street platinum sales,success,and what you put back into the game in terms of your family tree of proteges,and those you influenced
After a few calculations.
simple mathmatics tell me Pac and Cube still 1 and 2
yeah I literally did Rosenberg's thing except it was 1-5 in each year and it was open criteria because everyone had a vote. Not focused on technical or who had the best album that year or whatever specifically but you can choose what factor is most important to you when voting. And as stated before, years were weighted so someone winning MVP of 1993 was more valuable than the winner of 2009 for example.
Cube is always no. 1 breh.
Right!
A point should be weighing more in more competitive eras, so if a rapper won in let's say 95, his total result/sum must be greater than someone else's who won in let's say 2015.

True, but still not laughable.

This cornball really thinks he can dictate what we do in OUR culture
His system is flawed as hell.
It doesn't hold the same weight being the best in this watered down era of rap
as it was in the Golden Era.
Like Jordan being the best in an era flooded with legends holds a lot more weight
compared to this era.
It meant more being the best BACK THEN than it does RIGHT NOW
We don't need guests to dictate how we curate our OWN culture
exactly, like i said in the other thread
put kendrick in da mid 90's & he'll be a mixtape rapper
nikkaz like canibus, keith murray, jeru da damaja would burn that nikka
He really excited about this system he came up with
Plus all his credibility flew out the window trying say Rakim was the best emcee over Cube in 90,91...or Nas was the best emcee when he first appeared over Snoop
If he only talking about who was the best technical lyricist,he lost already because that's not how melinated people decide our goats
This is all one big elaborate scheme to argue Eminem as the goat,Kendrick is just a pawn in a pale mans game of chess
His NY and White emcee bias in on full display.
I'd already majority consensus 2Pac is the GOAT, but these geeks gotta keep changing criteria to discredit him

I haven't watched. But happy he tried. Everyone should put this type of effort into it so we can figure this shyt out collectively

he could be a premiere nikka in the conscience lane,but we all know that ain't getting you into goat discussion...maybe that's unfortunate but no conscience rapper has been able to do it convincingly yet,and it ain't about to start with kendrick....hope your not arguing it's too soon,discography not big enough,under the circumstances

This takes into account actual skill sets of the MC asking how good they are at certain things. Rosenberg just seems to go on who was hot or who he likes the most for that year and that's it. He's always talking like a huge underground head but it seems pretty surface level because he always references the same old artists when talking about mid 90s underground. It's always NY acts, it's always School Of Hard Knocks or Hard To Obtain, then goes on to talk about the regulars like Gangstatt etc. I don't think I've ever heard him talk about any southern cats from the 90s besides maybe Sarface and certainly haven't heard him about Spice 1 albums or anything like that.

KRS One? Most people would call him a conscious type rapper

Yeah they do
People use body of work, longevity, impact, influence.
You can use a point by point system but again if its not left to a democratic vote (which is the same as just debating GOATs as normal) what good is this system Rosenberg comes up with if its still his opinion. He says Rakim was the best MC for 5 years straight as if Cube was dominating in those years too. Its still all subjective and if its still subjective then save all the geekry
You just like a shyt idea that the Coli already did months ago and better
Only way to do it collectively would be some kindve electoral college style vote system....state by state,or separated by region.....certain states or regions opinions count for less than others.....places like New York where nikkas known for living in they own bubble,vote would count for less.....places like Idaho and North Dakato vote would count for even less for obvious reasons
Ehh I don't put him in the conscience lane,he just kicks knowledge.
