and when i say balanced i mean a MC that was/is able to give you a little bit of everything, or at least the main 4 things, which is(imo):street shyt,consciousness,respectable lyricisim, and mainstream appeal.

...and the only rapper that comes to mind is TUPAC.

but i think the reason why pac was able to be that type of mc is because he was also well traveled and lived/grew up on both the east & west coast

When you say consciousness, are you talkin about someone who's good at rapping about their own experiences and life, or someone who's able to speak on the ills and experiences of others?

Hov. That's why he's the GOAT.


everyone from females, to casual rap fans, to the most hardcore backpackers respect Hov's greatness on the mic

Basically this.. Jay Z is a great performer, great lyricist, has great flow, great recording techniques, great delivery,

Reasons why he is able to adapt to whatever stage hip hop evolves to.

He is able to adapt and still remain relevant no matter what.

He's the most balanced MC without a doubt :manny:
