Title: How would you rate MCs
Post by: M Dogg™ on May 18, 2001, 08:06:35 PM

This might be the weirdest, or stupitest thing to think about, but I've been thinking about it for some time now, so I'll ask it. How would you guys rank MCs in different areas of their skillz.

I figure it like this, MCs have different levels of skill on a certain level, and all MCs are different. I have broken it down to, Flow, Writing Lyrical, Freestyle Lyrical, Voice and Subject Matter

Like for example, Eazy E
Flow: 9
Writing L.: 4
Freestyle L.: 1
Voice: 9
Subject Matter: 7

Or 2Pac
Flow: 7
Writing L.: 9
Freestyle L.: 7
Voices: 8
Subject Matter: 10

You know, something like that. I don't know if it's good or not, but that's just something I've been thinking about.

subject matter: example eminem on mmlp got kinda old
lyrics: canibus is the definition of this right here
flow:flow is very important
charisma: snoop has good charisma, that is why many of u are hooked on him
complications: usually good lyrics makes u think, ras kass is a good example of this
freestyle ability: very important, journalist, chino xl, canibus and kuirupt are all good at this
voice: example  RBX, good voice, cause its unique, sometimes regular voices are just too boring
beats behing ya: i dont know if this matters over accapella, but on a cd, it dont matterh ow dope u are if u have shitty electronic techno shit behind u..


thats all i can think of right now

charisma and complications, I knew I was forgetting something. And as for subject matter, more like a Chuck D, young Ice Cube, or a Pre-Death Row 2Pac.

Him and Ren wrote the first verse of Boyz N Tha Hood Remix, and he wrote some of his own shit with N.W.A. and once in while by himself. But not often.

Actually Cube wrote 'Boyz N Tha Hood' and Ren wrote the begining part of the Remake...Even if he is credited for writing, it's justr for changing words around...He din't write

Actually, Eazy wrote his own shit when dissing Dr. Dre. Do you want a list of songs Eazy actually wrote himself, trust me, I own all his CDs, I can list them shits. And Ruthless does list the ghostwriters, so it's not like Dre that don't give everyone credit.

Tupac subject matter 10?
If he talked about 12446576 different subjects during his career some good some bad then how can you rate it as 10?

Man, that was just an example. Don't trip.

true he did cover a lot of subjects but the one thing i would say that you HAVE to give pac a 10 FOR IS fLOW....

he has the most frequently bitten flow of all time (along with kane's flow and subject matter from 'Raw') and even ikf his lyrics came weak (and they rarely did) his flow always carried him through the verse with ease....
