If he counts, the answer is obviously Biggie.
If not, then it's even more obvious the answer should be Rakim, because of The 18th Letter. Why are ya sleepin?

seems to me that you're in the minority. O.C. on his best days can outspit just about anyone.

how u figure? resurrection is the greatest solo performance by an emcee, bar none. i know u arent into the technicality of emceeing, but seriously..u cant overlook that. and its at the very least as good as Word...Life in terms of production.
