    Fat Joe is the keeper of the keys, and the recorder of rhyming remembrance. It’s all stored inside him, the history of hip hop. He’s a walking museum of lyrical rap history. Hip hop needs it’s own hall of fame, curated and codirected by Fat Joe. What an incredible place that would be.

Always been that way that's why us West Coast peeps don't have love for them like that either. I'm so proud and love the fact I grew up on the west during that whole era. I understand everything they saying in that interview I was there living it but the West Coast is the best coast we got our own story to tell!

      Plenty of dudes do if not more. QTip produced on Illmatic and all of Tribes classics. He could probably talk even more than Joe. Or Pete Rock, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Caz, etc. Just because they aren't in the spotlight anymore doesn't mean Joe's the only authority. But shouts to Joe because he gave us Pun and for that he can have my respect despite some of the things he's done.

    • @Powerule23
      @Powerule23 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Jarrel Ely + Two different eras. Bear in mind. Moe Dee basically quit rapping to attend college, because in his day, "rapping" wasn't considered a solid career path. But, for the point of arguing, G Rap takes him. Moe Dee peaked when he was battling LL, and had no gas left for the verbal gymnastics that G Rap was putting down when G Rap was peaking. Yes, Moe Dee was dope AF when he came out, and ultimately squashed party-rhyming Busy Bee; no question Moe Dee was dope for a few early-80's years. By 1990, it was G Rap and Rakim/Rakim and G Rap. (They both lifted the bar in terms of pure skill).

    • @Powerule23
      @Powerule23 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jarrel Ely + The true forgotten/under appreciated pioneer is Melle Mel. He would easily push around a whole lot of classic-era MC's.

    • @Powerule23
      @Powerule23 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jerrel Ely + That's a good one, but easy. G Rap. Not that this has anything to do with that matchup, but K Solo never got to really shine. I forgot the politics on his career. Although Solo had a choppier delivery, Kane basically fathered his original style, and then you could hear the G Rap influence on Solo's second album. But, Solo was a dope dude no doubt.

I think Flex recognizes it more since he's a DJ and has probably heard more of Jadakiss' underground mixtapes and albums that aren't as commercial. He definitly needs to be in the top 5. There's never been a flow like his. He's just not commercial. He's the people's champ!
