yup that's the only thing clever lyrics and consciousness stands at the base of hip hop whit out lyrics hip hop wouldn't be shit it nearly died in the early 80's because it was all party music and fine beats but these militant cats came and revived it ask Chinita she witnessed it and if that album was pure mainstreem BS when the album had tracks like Slave and The Master , Be A Nigger Too , and not to say that 3 or 4 tracks from the album was produced by Stic Man from dead prez plus the album is cataloged by many as being overtly social and political so i don't know how you can call it mainstreem BS when there were just 2 tracks that had mainstreem content rest were on point

Ohh sorry spoiled American brat i is not American i speak some extra 5 languages beside this one so sorry ohh and you always use that arrogant grammar BS on people who call you on your shit

GZA's only classic, solo. was his first, and the best song on that wasnt even by him, KP BIBLE
Big L was sick, but his content didnt change much from 92 to 99
where as nas from 93 >> 7 yrs later 2000 he went theough a big change n preparing stillmatic songs like Poison etc Nas is a better emcee then L. in their prime alive, same age.. ILLMATIC>LIFESTYLEZ.

Rakim done good with eric b n rakim. but his last 2 solos r average at best with 1-2 good premo songs and the sng 18th ltr. now there comes a time when the student out does the teacher, n nas did that
