All of those artists are once in a lifetime. Rakim is great. But every MC from 88 ain’t Rakim. Not even close. https://t.co/MAMziNlqev

@fafa019 Kendrick is the Rakim of today generation. Cole is the Kane. The quality has not waned. They just informed by a different paradigm

People forget the primary subject of real hiphop from 20-30 years ago was the ubiquitous “wack MC.” Cuz there was a lot of wack s### out.
