Who's the most naturally gifted rapper of all time?

[H@LLOW]

Tony yayo.

This is all things considered:

- flows
- pen game (lyricism and the technical aspect)
- voice/delivery
- all of these things above manifested into making great albums (maybe not as important when talking 'pure' talent)

Who you got?

This is my pick.

Just so much incredible talent. A great lyricist and probably one of the best technicians in the rap game we've ever seen, obviously birthing another super technical artist in Eminem in addition to so many other styles.

His voice is sick, his deliveries are ever-changing and he has unmatchable charisma on the mic. Just as with his deliveries, his flows are ever-changing as well.

Most importantly, he's made incredible music. It's one thing to be skilful but make shyt music that nobody wants to listen to (Tech 9), but this man just has a goldmine of amazing music.

Probably had the best run in the 90s (Whut, Dare, Muddy and Doc's Da Name) and his music was always era appropriate so he never ever sounds dated. Even Mudface that came out last year is hot.

He's ripped apart so many verses and on top of all that, he fukking produces almost half his shyt. What a talent.

Who the fukk raps over a beat like this?


I could post 100 more songs but y'all know the deal.


Some honourable mentions to me:
- Pharoahe Monch
- GZA
- Inspectah Deck
- Prodigy (prime)

enjoy the GOAT album breh!

yeah GZA is remarkably talented but he doesn't have the charisma and I think flow variety of Redman, who was my pick

but pure bars, GZA is unmatched imo

 

[Way Of The Gun]

Rakim...

His vocal projection itself sounds like the coming of God, while having a well-balanced RUGGED and SMOOTH delivery at the SAME TIME..

Listened to every Juice song @Art Barr posted.
He's not wack but he's avg as fukk and ultra boring.
Nothing about his records make me feel like i have to listen again. I feel sorry for him and others whom think like him. Got every excuse in the book why they never blew when really the shyt they was coming with was avg at best.
Can't speak on his battling skills,dont know enough about them.
But his records have no outstanding qualities at all

oh you know i will

eh, gza does have a very "cold" and direct style but it think it's all about what kinda mood or preference you wanna hear from an mc at that time

but i hear you because redman is a great pick and he's a very animated mc
