Re: Best flowing rappers
OK, so is "flow" just spitting rhymes 100mph a la Yngwie's shredding; or grooving tight to the beat a la Jimmy Page in his prime?
If it's the latter, the winner is Biggie by a Brooklyn mile. If it's the former, I've got no idea or interest, tho Bone-Thugs or Eminem would be a good place to start, I guess. IMO, Tupac did neither particularly well, tho overall he was very good, of course, esp. as a lyricist. I always thought his music rep got enhanced greatly by getting whacked young, and that he would've become a megastar as an actor, had he lived.

Re: Best flowing rappers
Tupac sucked as a lyricist, was great as a rapper. Tons of emotion and charisma, weak lyrics for the high point of his career. He started stepping up his game on Makaveli, though, but was killed before he could continue with his better lyrics.

[/ QUOTE ] this is in all honesty the single most outrageous statement I've ever heard/seen regarding any subject.... ever... just listen to Brenda's got a Baby, and Keep ya head up.... case closed... as for the OP, talking about best flow, I think u pretty much nailed it w/ Rakim... others deserving consideration are Big L, AZ, and as much as I hate 2 admit it, Eminem.... if we're gonna throw in freestyle artists I think some mention should be made of Supanatural and MC Juice, but as far as main stream artists, I think the list stops @ Rakim I saw a few posters mention Nas, and while he's prob in the top 3-4 rappers of alltime, and probably the 2nd best lyricist ever, behind Pac, I don't really think his flow deserves to be mentioned in this list.... Biggie I think would fit into this same category

[ QUOTE ]  [/ QUOTE ] Is that Gift of Gab? I like Blackalicious quite a bit but I wouldn't say he has the world's greatest flow. [/ QUOTE ] While this image has been my avatar for a while, and Gift of Gab is one of the most brilliant lyricists ever.. His flow isn't as good as Chali 2na's.
