Who Is The Most Subpar Rapper With The Best Catalog???

[Murkman]

Don't try and play me for a fool..I been listening to Pac since like 93..
His vocab is lacking..repeats the same combination of words over a very basic and monotone flow.

So you been listening to this nikka since '93 and lack the music knowledge to know how Pac is versatile in rhythm?

That's most emcees you described, who stay in a general area of vocabulary, and he didn't have a "basic and monotone flow" either.
Aesop Rock has the biggest vocab of all emcees, but his flaw is not using that to his advantage for a vernacular anyone could understand in. Pac at times could flash big words when he wanted to, and still connect to the everyday person. Once again, that depended on what type of song he wrote.
His flow styles changed album to album as well, he evolved quickly - giving credence to his songwriting skills.

"California Love", "Me Against The World", "If I Die 2Nite", "Changes" and "Hail Mary", all have completely different flows and vocabulary (which btw has nothing to do with rhythm). A rapper with a "basic and monotone flow", would be someone like MC Eiht, Tyga, Too $hort, Hopsin, etc.

Pac had different flows in verses and in between songs, which doesn't make sense why you said "Basic and monotone".

That's the thing subpar rappers don't make great albums, you mentioned "great rappers". They can take the quality of their cratft and music down a few notches, so how can subpar rappers "smarten up"?

They don't "smarten up". Execution is everything. The rapping can be sub par, but a well executed concepts and great production will allow an otherwise sub par rapper to create great music.

2pac isn't a great rapper, but I wouldn't quite put him in the bad rapper category.

Brah, shyt rapper or not. French is Hip Hop history, blood. Why do u think the legends fukk with him? Dude is legit when it comes to the game.

Industry just forced him to dumb his shyt down, which hurts me as a longtime fan, but i still cant dismiss his legacy. If he died tomorrow, u think people arent gonna call him a legend for what he accomplished? and laid out for other rappers to follow? As far as the hustle, world star, DVD, mixtape shyt.

Kanye West

As a rapper, he's , but he makes up for it with the quality of his first 3 albums and MBDTF.

i forgot all about jim and thinking this over he just might be the most subpar rapper with the best catalog.

POME
on my way to church
diary of a summer
harlem american gangster
7 day theory
MOB 1
ambitionz as a gangsta

just know thinking about it, all that shyt he gave us was from like 04-07

add in the classic that is Ryder Muzik
plus you have City Of God and Ghost Of Rich Porter and The Kitchen was pretty good.

Probably Too Short, dude was never a great lyricist but he makes the most of what he has and knows his lane. He's maybe 2 arguable classics.

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

Pac..

So limited was his vocabulary and flow, but his emotional edge allowed him to make a number of touching tracks.

Good call. I'll add Eazy E.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

2Pac is "basic" and "monotone"???? charisma alone would make that 100% false

 

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

2pac isn't a great rapper, but I wouldn't quite put him in the bad rapper category.

Agreed. As repetitive as he was, at least he wrote his own shyt. That's more than I can say about most of these rappers.

 

[3rdWorld]

Good call. I'll add Eazy E.

Eazy had the flow and most distinctive voice in hiphop.

Don't get me wrong, he's one of my favorites, but dude didn't even write.
