THE MOST Consistent Great Emcee over the last 20 years is

[Art Barr]

blackthought's best moments are girl records.
where he is epic levels of great.
yet, the dude is such a simp.
that his mastery of the girl record is no mystery.

also,...blackthought's actual flow was perfected by Kendrick.
on that sing for me joint.
to the point, if Kendrick employed the flow more.
black though would be an after thought.

Jada kills his features...but show me a great album from Jada? [FONT]

I don't know if you trolling or what but most would easily say Immobilarity is Rae's weakest work. It completely pales in comparison to OB4CL 2...let alone 1 which is one of the 5 albums of all time IMO. [FONT]

trolling? rae was all over everything at that time and still put up numbers cause he was still nice as fukk..

people didnt fukk with immobilarity cause of teh beats and no rza. dont matter what rae spit, he didnt have rza beats so it was a let down but any true fan of dude knows he was spitting at his apex in that era. songs like sneakers were hyped (pete rock) but an album of no names vs the likes of jdilla rza dre scram jones etc is obviously gonna be hated on. raes weak period was like 2001-2003...lyrically

Common is up for consideration

Can't c/s. People talk about J. Cole but Common is even more boring to me. Outside of Ressurection, LWFC and Be, totally unlistenable

5 star thread. Probably the only dude from the 90s I still check for.

Scarface. From 1988-2008 he put out nothing but great music on good to great albums. His worst joint was The World Is Yours, which went gold and is still better than most rap albums released in the last five years.

I think if we're talking consistency this is a great answer. Scarfaces career is CRAZY. I've been meaning to write a post. He's the only rapper I can think of that dropped so many hot albums in so many eras. Geto boys to the fix is a crazy run.

As for black thought he's totally consistent but he never ascends to greatness. He the straight B+ rapper. When next to dice or Malik I almost always prefer one of them. But he's consistently good. Just very rarely great.
