who was the better rapper Phife Dawg or Q-Tip/Abstract ?

[Self_Born7]

phife of course....

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Tip. Phife was only effective as a 16 bar rapper and that's not a diss.

this

 

[Drip Bayless]

Obviously tip

 

[Why-Fi]

if you quote atcq 10 times off the top of your head... all 10 would probably be Phife lines. that said qtip was more lyriCal but Phife was more catchy

 

[Izanami]

In a group setting phife

 

[NickBlanco]

phife on MM, tip on low end theory

Back in the days when I was a teenager...

That's the first line off the top of my head, gotta go with Q

 

[Abstract83]

Tip but Phife wasn't no slouch. Tip just had the voice/flow that stuck like glue to the production.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Phife

 

[Umi]

I think Phife would have been a much better rapper if he didn't have Tip next to him trying to take all the shine.
Look at any of their live shows. Any time Phife gets on, Tip will do some crazy shyt to get the attention.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

The Abstract Poetic, prominent like Shakespeare

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Q-Tip next to Magoo and Andre 3000 has one of the worst voices in rap history

 

[Ukbrotha]

Phyfe was beasting from 2nd album onwards but Tip just brought a real star quality to the group that cannot be replaced.

 

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Phife easily to me. He killed every verse he dropped on low end theory and midnight marauders. Tip was borderline corny on a lot of tracks and I never liked his voice.

 

[Asicz]

In Beats Rhymes and Life I don't think Tip ever got washed by Phife but maybe on "Phony Rappers" but Phife Consequence's did his thing on the LP.
Good time to relisten.
