he's nice, but he's not a great. he could've been...so could styles p...but he's just a nikka that remained nice over 2 decades...never really fell off...but never really got ON.

how so ? because meth even though he was apart of the group wu tang they was never on a major label likebad boy like kiss was

Method still had a way better career and is still relevant to a degree. Kiss gots no classics, middle tier as they come.

Because you couldn't force that the type of star quality that meth has/had out of kiss...method man coulda been GOAT status, he had everything going for him that an MC would need. Looks (no homo), charisma, flow, lyrics, voice...without meth wu coulda very well been local.

He had all the tools but didn't really take them as far as he could have, he had a better career in a straight up comparison but he was supposed to.. kiss is dope is fukk but he NEVER had that much potential to be a well rounded artist like that..he's a spitter, that's about it.

I don't agree meth would be a goat, he def had the charisma and style but lyrically he was never a beast. He just held it down like a motherfukker being the character he was With a unique voice, confidence and swag..very likeable and because of that he's had a very successful career regardless if he didn't reach his full potential. But I think he did and that's why for a good amount of time he was mad popular. Kiss never came close to meths level inn terms of success, respect and worthy material. He can rhyme but so could dozens of other NY rappers who ended up like kiss. Respected but not legends.

Kiss hasn't dropped an album worth more than a 3.5/5 for me, he's way too hit and miss and repetitive in his subject matter / style. Straight spitting he's up there, but everyone gets sick of punchlines after a couple of years. It's the same with Fab, cat's can't relate cos they don't give up anything personal.

In saying that, first Lox album still gets a lot of burn.
