I guess you could say BDK, though I think that Lord Finnesse sorta had the blueprint for the more traditional style of delivery for punchline rapping, as in really emphasising on landing his punches after a setup.

BDK had punches, but seemed to just flow with it.

I think what seperates punchline rappers from other kinds of rappers is more delivery.

Must've been Rakim that did it in some way.

But I mean soft punchlines could've been dropped earlier by LL, Run Dmc, Beastie Boys etc-

kane was the 1st that i know of that was heavy with the punches but i never looked at him as a punchline rapper.

i mean kane was good at the other things besides punchlines

if that is what u trying to say then i can respect that. like kane excelled at other things other then punchlines

so kane in a strict sense of the word wasn't just soley a punchline rapper
